Nigerian billionaire, Folorunso Alakija took to her social media timeline some few days back to narrate how she made her billions and how God got involved in her matter before she got to where she is today.
According to the oil mogul, she took a leap of “faith” to accept the oil bloc that other people had rejected. This got Nigerians upset because, according to many, the mogul’s success was as a result of her connections with the men in political offices, and not by ‘faith’.
See her tweets below:
Time and Luck happened to Madam Alakija quite alright. However when you known your “luck” was an act of corruption, you own it and keep quiet. You don’t grant interviews every week desperate to white wash it.
So Folorunso Alakija was basically the Kim K to Paris Hilton for Maryam Babangida that’s how she got her oil bloc and her wealth. Amazing.

I have no issue with Mrs Alakija’s Oil bloc she received by faith.
The problem is Nigeria’s system that allows head of state to dash people a Nation’s resources.

Plus it’s strange when y’all drag Madam Alakija all the time for being gifted an oil well. For God’s sake that’s how most people who own them in every country got them. People with power to gift you stuff will give them to you, if you ask properly. I see a teachable moment here.

I don’t get why Folorunsho Alakija constantly feels the need to convince us she worked hard for her money.
Ma’am, you’re almost 70. Enjoy your money and be alright.

That oil field Alakija accepted by faith is one of the biggest oil fields in Africa.They call it Agbami, ask your Yoruba friends what Agbami is in English…. Producing over 500,000 barrels per day

So Madam Alakija was given an Oil bloc and so f**k what
Same people that use connections to get jobs and the likes are angry at Mrs Alakija.
