\u2022Dr.\nMUIZ BANIRE’s Wife, FUNMILAYO On Their 25 Yr Marriage<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr.\nMuiz Banire (SAN) is a popular Lagos lawyer and a leading politician who until\nrecently was the National Legal Adviser of the APC. He also served as\nCommissioner in Lagos State under Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Mr. Babatunde Raji\nFashola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In\nMay 2017, his wife, Funmilayo turned 50 and she spoke about her life as Dr.\nMuiz Banire\u2019s wife. She spoke about how both of them have been able to make\ntheir 25-year-old marriage work. \u201cIt\u2019s not been easy,\u201d she explains. \u201cIt\u2019s been\nby the grace of God. I attribute the success of my marriage to God. If I sit\nhere telling you it\u2019s easy, I will be lying. Everything comes with its\nchallenges in life. It is to the glory of God. It\u2019s because both of us are\nvery, very close to the Almighty God. We\u2019ve had our share of troubles. We had\nour share of smile, joy. And we thank God we have been 25 years in marriage\nnow. I believe the worst is past\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How\ndid they meet? \u201cWe actually met through my half-brother. We had like 7 years\ncourtship before we finally got married. He happens to be a friend to my half\nbrother and then he used to come to our house at Ikorodu to celebrate Ileya\nfestival. So, we just started like friends and the relationship blossomed\nbefore we knew it we hit it off. There was no formal proposal like they do now.\nWe just found out that we were into each other. Before we knew it, he started\nintroducing me as, My Fiancee to his family and friends. That is it. The rest\nis history\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where\nwas she born? Where did she grow up? \u201cI was born in Isale-Eko. We lived in\nIsale Eko till like 10 years. My mum played a very pivotal role by actually\nhaving foresight into what we could turn to be \nif we were raised in Isale-eko. She quickly moved us to the mainland. We\nrelocated to the mainland at Fadeyi in particular. I continued my school there,\nat St. Paul\u2019s, having started my schooling at Ahmmadiyya Girls School, Olushi,\non Lagos Island then. I went to St. Paul\u2019s briefly before I was moved to the\nBoarding house at the Government College, Ketu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My\ndad is from Ikorodu and my mum is from Agbowa Royal family in Ikorodu. My\nsiblings and I grew up together before each and everyone of them started\ntravelling and relocating abroad\u201d. Where did she work after she left school?\n\u201cWhen I left Government College, Ketu I proceeded for my OND at The\nPolytechnic, Ibadan. From there, I served at National Bank. I later went back for my HND at Yaba College\nof Technology and later on, I proceeded to do my Master’s degree I did Msc,\nPersonnel Management, I did MBA at the then Ondo State University and LASU. I\ndid a Master\u2019s after I have been married. I worked with National Bank briefly\nand I returned there after my HND. I still worked there for sometime before I\nnow transferred to Dunlop Meyer Plc as Personnel Manager (Head of Personnel)\nthat was after I had my first child, having waited for 5 years in marriage.\nAfter I conceived and after my maternity leave, I decided to stay with my\nprecious baby. So, I decided to resign voluntarily to be able to nurture my\nson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, from then, I decided to establish my business, even though while working, I had always had a passion for business. So, it\u2019s been in the family. So, I started my business formally 21 years ago and to the glory of God, I have been able to diversify into other areas. I started with a Textile business and I have been able to diversify into so many other areas-property, haulage, importation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When\nshe turned 50 last year, she also told City People how she felt happy she\u2019s\nbeen able to touch lives and how she\u2019s been able to touch humanity. “That\nreally singularly gladdens my heart. When I look at a few people whose lives I\nam able to touch, I am happy, in terms of touching lives, it particularly\ngladdens my heart. I am happy I have been able to add value to humanity\u201d, she\nstressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
