Society Top Lady, Lanre Ojora remembers husband

If society matriarch, Lanre Ojora was given an opportunity to change something about her life, without blinking an eye, it would definitly be, bringing her hubby, Prince Mustapha Ojora, who died in 1994 and her first daughter Abimbola Babalola, who lost her life in 2005 to the ill-fated Bellview airline crash back to mother earth. She is yet to recover from the irreplaceable loss despite several years after.

Like the biblical saying in Proverb 10:7; “The memory of the righteous is blessed,
But the name of the wicked will rot”. The septuagenarian mother of three, gathered close friends and associate on Tuesday November 26, at her highbrow palatial home in Ikoyi, Lagos, to celebrate her husband’s 25th year remembrance. Prince Ojora died on November 26, 1994, at aged 51. Indeed, if the will power of man could hold him back, there was enough love and goodwill to keep Ojora back on earth. His memorial service, drew hundreds of dignitaries, bore eloquent testimony to this fact about the Ex Mobil staff.

The tragic death of her husband, no doubt marked a dramatic and traumatic turning point in her life. A close source divulged that “Imagine a woman, who could not think of life without her husband, imagine a woman, who was over-pampered to the point that she had the whole world at her feet. Imagine a woman, whose husband found no fault in her, suddenly, grim reaper took her beloved husband away. One could only imagine the pang of pain Lanre felt when her husband suddenly left in the lurch, to cater for their three children. But then, she rose to the challenges ahead, weather the storm, against all odds. She is truly the definition of a strong woman”

Intrestingly, ‘Merry Widow’ as she is fondly called by friends, has refused to give love a chance again in her life. At 70, she still exudes an aura, which make most men she comes across throw love advances at her. This ageless maven features on the list of Nigeria’s most formidable society matriarchs.
