July 10, (THEWILL) – At over 70 years, Lanre Ojora has obviously paid her dues as a socialite of note and one of the matriarchs of high society. A very stylish grand dame who still oozes sexiness at her age, Lanre has managed to remain as stunning as she was when she first met her late husband, multi-millionaire, Ajibade Ojora who was the younger brother to Otunba Adekunle Ojora, board room guru and father in-law to former Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
At some point, the grandmother had to put her social life on hold when she lost her daughter, Bimbo Babalola, in the Bellview Airplane crash of 2015. She refused to be consoled. She only managed to put her grief on hold when she made a brief appearance in 2019 during the 25th memorial thanksgiving and remembrance of her late husband who was an executive at Mobil Oil Nigeria. Thereafter she went back into her shell. When her in-law, Otunba Ojora joined the nonagenarian club a few weeks ago, many expected to see Lanre at the birthday celebration, but she was no where to be found. Although she isn’t particularly close to her inlaws, one wonders if it wouldn’t have been a decent thing to put sentiments aside to celebrate the partriach of the Ojora family.
