In Nigeria, the journey of rebuilding a life after profound loss is often a public spectacle, and Wunmi Aloba, the widow of the late singer Mohbad, is navigating this path with a visible focus on her future. Nearly three years after Mohbad's passing amidst controversy, Aloba is stepping out of the shadows, dedicating herself to personal growth and entrepreneurial pursuits.
