Business mogul Richard Nii Armah Quaye, commonly known as RNAQ, has rejected the narrative suggesting he ex wife, Joana Quaye, sacrificed herself to help him become successful.
According to RNAQ, he started making money before he went into marriage.
He highlighted that if he didn’t have money, he couldn’t have married her, because they had a very luxurious wedding.
RNAQ boldly claimed that 99% of the things being thrown out in the media and on social media aren’t true.
Speaking in a yet-to-be-released interview with Delay, circulating on social media on April 24, 2026, Richard Nii Armah Quaye stated, “I was working before I married her. I started my business before I married her. I started making money before I went to marry her, and I funded our wedding. If I didn’t have money, I couldn’t have married her, because we had a very luxurious wedding.
I had money before marrying her. I spent a lot of money marrying her. All the things you have heard, 99% of it isn’t true,” Nii Armah said.
His comments come after it has been alleged that his ex-wife paused school to support him.
A netizen on X sharing the story stated, “She paused school to support him. As the money came, he started changing – Cousin speaks on Joana Quaye’s marriage to RNAQ.
An alleged cousin of Joana Quaye has opened some keys about the ongoing settlement dispute involving the former wife of Bill’s Micro-credit founder Richard Nii Armah Quaye.
Speaking in an interview with UK-based Ghanaian TikTok personality Tr0uble Carlos, the woman, identified as Abena, revealed the role Joana played in her former husband’s early life and career.
According to her, Joana met Richard Nii Armah Quaye at age 18 shortly after completing SHS in 2002, and the two later began dating.
“She met him when they were both still young and trying to find their way,” Abena said.
She went on to claim that both gained admission to the University of Professional Studies, Accra, but Joana allegedly gave up her place after being persuaded to put her education on hold and work while RNAQ completed his studies.
“She decided to pause school and support him until he was done,” Abena stated.
Abena further alleged that her cousin made financial contributions toward his education both in Ghana and abroad, and later supported the establishment of Bills Micro-credit.
She also spoke about chállenges within the marriage, claiming things began to change as success came.
“As the money was coming, the man started changing,” she said.
However, the brouhaha follows, RNAQ, who have been locked up in a bitter divorce alimony battle with ex-wife Joana for the past four years.
Mrs Joana Quaye was married to Richard Nii Armah-Quaye for sixteen (16) years and has three (3) children with him.
The High Court presided over by Justice Kofi Dorgu on 20th January, 2026, in his final orders despite evidence showing that Richard Nii Armah Quaye established his famous company, Quick Credit & Investment Micro-Credit Limited (renamed Bills Micro Credit Limited) with Joana Quaye as shareholders, out of which RNAQ built his wealth and established numerous other companies, the judge granted to the wife only one-third share of a house at Dansoman, GHC300,000 as financial provision and GHC5,000 to be paid by RNAQ each month for the upkeep of all the three children.
Mrs Quaye cited that all the properties owned by RNAQ, including houses at Trassacco Estate, East Legon and other rich neighbourhoods in Accra, a Rolls-Royce car, Bentley, Range Rover and other luxurious vehicles and companies were all acquired by RNAQ after their.
Joana Quaye has since hired prominent Accra-based law firm, Dame & Partners, as her new lawyers to pursue an appeal against the award following the court orders in what she described as “being given a raw deal”.
