BREAKING: “I Lost My Husband in 1961”— Violet Ladipo Fights Back Tears in Emotional Confession
Oloye Violet Iyabode Adebola Ladipo, a renowned Nigerian entrepreneur and matriarch of the Ladipo family of Lisabi Mills, has recounted losing her husband in 1961 and said that the loss forced her to assume new responsibilities, work tirelessly, and draw lessons from people across generations.
In an interview with THE SUN on Saturday, April 18, 2026, Oloye Ladipo said tolerance, humility and faith sustained her through those difficult years.
She acknowledged that discussing the past still stirs strong emotions, but she prefers to concentrate on the lessons learned rather than remain in sorrow.
She attributed her resilience to a combination of divine guidance, personal discipline and a willingness to learn from younger people, and she emphasized that material wealth is not the ultimate measure of a life well lived.
According to her,
“I lost my husband in 1961. I had to face my work. I worked very hard. I don’t want to go into all that. I’m always emotional when I say such things and on a day like this, I don’t want to shed tears.”
Favor As Higher Power?
(The hidden truth)
Some positions in life cannot be held or retained for long if you are not favored. Favor is higher power. You are not the only one desiring, deserving, connected, powerful or qualified. Some positions in life, opportunities, success, achievements, triumphs, selection, approvals, power and position, elevation, patronage, etc, are mainly through favor. Favor is silent, spiritual and higher power. For spiritual guidance, other solutions, call/Whatsapp Dr J.A. Faros on 07030514063. With God, all are possible.
