She is considered an expert of some sort in the real estate sector where she plies her trade via 3Invest, a boutique investment company. Having made an appreciable effort over the years to create a thriving real estate sector and committing resources to real estate advocacy, the same, unfortunately, cannot be said of her marriage which broke down irretrievably, forcing her to end the three-year-old union.
In ending her marriage, Ruth noted how important her mental health and well-being are to her, allegedly implying that perhaps, she wasn’t in a good place mentally, all through the period she was married. The marriage produced a son which they, unfortunately, lost early in the marriage. But in late 2021, she welcomed a set of twin girls.
An ambitious go-getter, Ruth married her US-based husband, Linus Obuah, a petroleum engineer in 2017 in Houston Texas, after years of a long-distance relationship. A lawyer who began her career with Ajumogobia and Okeke law firm in Lagos, Ruth founded 3Invest in 2007, and in 2011, she led the globalization and digitization of the real estate industry with the launch of 3invest’s online information portal and the first syndicate real estate radio show, Real Estate On-Air. In 2012 she launched Real Estate Unite, the largest annual gathering of real estate leaders in Africa, and in 2013, launched the Real Estate Investor Network. In 2015, Ruth launched the first timeshare co-working space in Africa called Lagos CoWork.
