Yoruba gospel singer,
Tope Alabi, during the week threw a surprise birthday party for her husband,
Soji Alabi.
It was a small birthday party at their house that had celebrities like Yomi Fabiyi and Instagram comedian, Woli Agba, and Ayo Ojewole and Ronke Odusanya in attendance.
The singer also celebrated her husband with an Instagram post:
The couple became aquainted after a chance meeting in 1994. Soji proposed to Tope in 1998, while she was working on her first album. They have been married for 16 years, and he has been a strong support for her ever since.
Talking about their marriage, at the December 2017 dedication of their house, Tope was quoted as saying,
“For us to be in the ministry for over 16 years now is by the grace of God. The administration of the ministry has been assigned to my husband and I don’t poke about at all. Mine is to prepare for programmes. Whenever he gives the signals that all is set, I am ready. If there is a need for any material- either for my own use or for the home— I make a request and he provides. God has been using him tremendously for me and the ministry. So, at no point in time did we ever quarrel over business issues. The business isn’t mine but his (Soji’s).”
Soji’s response to a Punch Newspaper interviewer in March 2013, who asked if he was intimidated by his wife’s, fame was:
“No, if Tope Alabi is famous, she carries my name along with her; why should I be intimidated? Concerning her fans, I know who I am married to and I trust her to any length. She is a woman of integrity, a woman that fears God with a deep knowledge of Him.”
We wish the Soji and Tope Alabi many more celebrations!
