Life is deeper than what many take it to be…May the good Lord help those who sincerely seek help.
Dr (Mrs) Funmilayo Iroh is one woman who has enjoyed life as wife of former top Lagos socialite and philanthropist-turned-pastor, Oluwafemi Iroh. In his heyday, her husband bestrode the social scene like a colossus, riding to parties in convoys of many cars while musicians took turns to sing his praises.
Funmilayo was there when Oluwafemi was bestowed the chieftaincy title of Borokini of Lagos and she the Yeye Borokini of Lagos. Together with her husband, they acquired landed properties in choice parts of Lagos and were involved in real estate business.
And when, according to her husband, God needed them for His work, the whole family moved to US. But there, in America, the wealthy family fell on hard times.
Her husband returned home to heed the call, to be joined later by Funmilayo and his children. She relives her experience, in this interview with The Nation’s Paul Ukpabio.
