Rich people are so lucky. They never lack anything. They can easily afford what you can't; they can employ thousands of servants to clean up after them, depending on how many they want. Some even go to the extent of hiring someone to bathe them every morning and evening, but to some people like Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija, Nigeria's richest woman at least according to Forbes, all that is vanity! (Insert Daddy Owen's Yote Ni Vanity song). She is just as a normal as the rest of us and does so many things for herself.

Folorunsho Alakija, who  is worth $1.71 billion and is considered one of the most powerful women on earth, recently left tongues wagging after she revealed that just like any other wife; she also treats her husband respectfully and even washes his undies. Wait What?

This is so unbelievable! Most women, especially the single ones, when asked if they can do so always say they cannot and recently Size 8 confirmed that theory.

Born into one of the prominent families in Lagos State (the Ogbaras) the mother of four boys has come out to dispel the notion that women cannot do anything in society. Folorunsho Alakija is the second richest African woman after Isabel Dos Santos and also the third richest woman of African descent in the world. She is a business tycoon involved in the fashion, oil and printing industries [You can read more about her here ---> ].

Anyway, below is Folorunsho Alakija's confessions about her marriage

"No marriage survives without love, respect and support from the couple.

My husband is my best friend, biggest adviser and supporter. We’ve known each other for 40 years and have been married for 37 years now with four boys.

Even though we work in the same office, I always ensure that we kiss twice in a day, morning and night. I still wash his undies until six years ago that he insisted I should stop.

I also prepare his special vegetable dish, does his manicure and pedicure regularly. I also go to the airport to pick him whenever he is returning from foreign trips.

It gives me joy whenever his friends praise my vegetable dish based on what my husband tells them during discussions."
