It is a case of never say never, I can tell you ‘no’ now and another thing would happen tomorrow. As long as I cannot predict the future, then I can’t predict events (that have yet to unfold). If marriage comes, (that would be) fine, and if it does not come, I am also good (with that).

When I contracted COVID-19, the fear of leaving my children and family behind worried me. I was also worried about my adopted children in Nigeria and my foundation. I kept praying to God and told Him to spare my life for the sake of my children. I am grateful and thankful that I got a second chance to live.
Recently, she posted new pictures of Keji, showing that the girl has now recovered entirely from the surgery she underwent.
Lola looks after her late friend’s kids as if they were her own children:
It has been two years since Aisha passed away but I have made it my duty to always fill in the gap as their mother and try to do things that Aisha would have done for them.
As of today, Lola Alao lives in Canada.
