    Few years ago, she rocked the social scene and many other ladies were envious of her. Of mixed race, she floated a business in the financial sector, Savers Q discount card, a premier lifestyle discount card which gets members discounts with over 1000 participating merchants, and it is used mainly in Nigeria and other destinations of interest.

    She got hooked to popular and wealthy businessman, Mohammed Asibelua, and the union produced a baby, though at that time, Asibelua’s wife was yet to have one.

    Marifa got an expensive apartment at Ikoyi, and she added to her business with the opening of an event park for kids, Tickle bay.
