Mother-of-four, Folorunsho Alakija, 62, started her career as a secretary in a bank then studied fashion and launched a label but her big break was oil. In 1993, her company, Famfa Oil, was awarded an oil prospecting license, which later became OML 127, one of Nigeria's most prolific oil blocks. The company owns a 60 per cent stake in the block, valued at around $7.3 billion, Ventures Africa reports. According to Forbes, Oprah Winfrey is worth $2.9 billion.

http://sett.com/greenlight/44451 “Alakija, 61, was born into a wealthy, polygamous Nigerian family. She started out her professional career in the mid-70s as a secretary at the now defunct International Merchant Bank of Nigeria, one of the country’s earliest investment banks. In the early 80s, Alakija quit her job and went on to study Fashion design in England, returning to Nigeria shortly afterwards to start Supreme Stitches, a premium Nigerian fashion label which catered exclusively to upscale clientele. The business thrived, and Alakija quickly made a tidy fortune selling high-end Nigerian clothing to fashionable wives of military bigwigs and society women”. Wonders! Coincidentally, she hit jackpot in 1993? Hmmmmmmmm!!!! Fine woman. http://www.cnbcafrica.com/news/western-africa/2016/09/17/africas-second-richest-woman/ 2 Likes |

Na sooo.. but I still owe my respect to Ophrah, she's not an oil block beneficiary, she worked hard and she's a role model to women all around the world. She needed no romance with a politician, neither can anyone confidently beat their chest to the claim that they made her. At a KICC event, Alakija said she will be richer than King Solomon by God's Grace. I'm closing observing when the reserves of Agbami runs dry, what other venture will bring money to her. Easiest billions ever made in history award goes to Alakija. We dey observe 1 Like |
