Folorunsho Alakija Unseats Oprah As Richest Black Woman. by retepmurt(m): 4:48am On Dec 29, 2014 |
Nigerian oil tycoon, Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija, is now the richest black woman in the world with an estimated fortune of $7.3 billion. Mother of four, Alakija, 62, unseats Winfrey as the richest black woman in the world. According to Forbes, Oprah Winfrey is worth $2.9 billion. Africa boasts 55 billionaires and they’re worth a staggering $143.88 billion in total, according to pan-African magazine Ventures Africa. Alakija started her career as a secretary in a bank in the mid 1970s. She then studied fashion in London and returned to Nigeria to start a label, Supreme Stitches. But her biggest break came in oil. In 1993, her company, Famfa Oil, was awarded an oil prospecting licence, 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 has reported.

Good one for Her. My only question,is how a fashion designer got an oil license. The report says Her company "Famfa oil" was awarded the oil block. Does it mean She was able to set up an oil firm that had the capacity to bid for oil blocks as at that time? Or was She someone's mistress? Simple logic tells me that there should normally,be no correlation between being a fashion designer,and running an oil firm. They are two distinct professions that are miles apart and not inter-related. But hey,it's none of my business. 261 Likes 33 Shares |

Small minds will look for excuses and reasons why she shouldn't make it while great minds will try to see how she was able to do it from humble beginnings and see if they can tap into her strategy to better themselves. 158 Likes 11 Shares |

I'm no fan of Oprah Winfrey, it is clear for everyone to see she is a hard worker, unlike Alakija who is a beneficiary of the corrupt system. That's why she can't be popular like Oprah as she has not in anyway added value to people's lives. 98 Likes 11 Shares |
