Billionaire business mogul, Dr. Mike Adenuga, Jnr. has one woman that he doesn’t joke with. Her name is Titi – and she’s his second wife.
Born 51 years ago, her close friends and family members fondly address her as The Tizzle Girl. Ebony skinned and profoundly pretty, the fleshy mother of two (Sade and Niyi) was educated at the famous Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife, Osun State.
Deeply religious and highly unobstrusive – except when in the company of her buddies – she is the daughter of Pa. Elijah and Madam Susan Okome, from Delta State. Her path and that of Adenuga, GCON, crossed at the defunct Devcom Merchant Bank while she was job-hunting.
Mesmerized and perplexed by her stunning beauty and brains, the stupendously wealthy businessman who rules and glows on all fronts decided to have her for keeps. Rarely sighted together in public, they are nonetheless very much in love with each other, YES International! Findings revealed.
60 in 2013, Otunba Michael Adeniyi Ishola Adenuga is the chairman of the multi-billion Mike Adenuga Group – comprising Globacom and Conoil.
A dominant player in the continent’s oil and gas, telecommunications, real estate, aviation and banking sectors, his first marriage to Folake collapsed due to what we know here as irreconcilable differences. But before then, the union had produced lovely children – Paddy, Bella, Oyin and Jide – who are all doing very well and also making their parents proud. He also has a grandson, Jaiyeola, courtesy Bella and her husband, Tunde.
