Strong feminist here, but I'm not impressed by this. Oprah gets worlds more respect from me. She actually suffered for her money.

this is why we need to vote out PDP. what contribution to humanity has alakija made to make her so rich?

This is Nigeria's money concentrated in the hands of a single individual.
.

In 1993, PDP was not in power. Not that I care about PDP or APC. All na the same. It's all about oil money.

It must have been IBB dishing out favours before "stepping aside". Or Even Abacha.

Anyhow, one of those who showed MKO Abiola pepper must have given it to her.

Osondi Owendi.

I wonder how many Ogoni women or Oloibiri indigenes were given oil blocks.

tap into her suspicious strategy?

Not every successful person is honest. Miami was built on drug money.
Bros, ever heard the terms Guerrilla Marketing and Mafia Tactic in business and Marketing?

They are good attributes borrowed from seemingly bad and disreputable sources.

When applied, they lead to success.

Orijin is a classic example, though I don't have the time to go into details but if I explain it to you, you will marvel at the ingenuity of the marketers!

Have you successfully packaged and lobbied for yourself,that you now want to package me and lobby for me? Or you don't like good things for yourself? If yes,how come I don't know you? Can you give us names of clients who you have successfully packaged and are now billionaires? If you can't provide their names,then no need selling yourself to me. I'd do better on my own.
Empero1:



By the way , my company is into business facilitation and lobbying . Perhaps , I can help package you well and lead you to success in the business world . At least , when you experience monumental success within short period of time , you will realize what I mean . And by then your thought process and mindset will change for good toward many of the successful people out there . A lot of opportunities abound , my brother . What most of you people termed gift and luck , I see them as foresightedness and smartness .

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.

Come on! Why did you derail your fine argument at the concluding part? sad I was enjoying your fine analysis of the situation until you abandoned it at the concluding part. Too bad. sad

What I'm about to type might seem tribalistic to some but I don't give a rats ass

look at this yoruba woman getting billions of dollars off an oil well that was given to her by a hausa man (Babangida)....... while the south where this oil well is sited is grossly underdeveloped and women in that region live like peasants .

she was given license to explore oil.... what qualified her for such honour? She was probably one of IBB's mistresses.

When Government Ekpemupolo (Tompolo) stops the oil flow she would be poorer than Iya Alabi.

fyi, her lease is deepwater not sure militant will dare too much in the area. meanwhile, stopping the oil flow will hurt the oil producing areas than non oil producing states. they are the one getting N15b a month while others get less than N3b, they own nddc, 13% and more like that. Oil workers are residents of oil producing states and workers pay tax to states of residence, no work no tax payment. the one FGN gets is majorly stolen, pay political appointees, legislatures and fgn workers, less that 10% is spent on capital, so they can go ahead blow up oil lines and pollute their waters.

Where are my loud mouthed ibo brothers when you need them the most?

I'm expecting them to come and rant and whine about this news like bush babies - how the woman does not deserve it, how she is fronting for IBB, how she is IBB's mistress, how she is benefitting from SS oil etc etc.

collynzo,onlytruth/chukwudi44,customized13,waternogetenemy,Descartes,Pazienza,igrigimercenery,ichidodo,OdenigboAroli,Malawian,quid, funkiebaby,sunnybobo3/billyonaire and the rest of the loud mouthed, empty chest beating ibo crew must have a thing or two to say about this awesome development.

The summation of the financial net worth of all Igbo billionaires - dead or alive does not come close to this woman's financial networth.

Congrats ma!


But one would expect to see you visibly touching lives. More than Oprah did.

E hard for the rich to touch lives o. Some do/ give back in low key level, but some dont care.
When naija becomes safe, I will start tracking these people to give back to the community wink. Maybe they dont do so because they fear that, those who they appoint to help them, will take the cash and do nothing for the people/ community.
I am for the people. Its just to get the chance to prove it.

Rich ke, how many charitable organization has she contribute to. She is rich, she should keep it to herself. Oprah is far better than her, at least she gives to the poor and even build a school for the poor in south Africa. What has this woman done to better the ordinary man on the street, am not talking about she giving to the church, I know her pastors must have been receiving from the oil money....all am talking about is, what has she done to improve this country. The other day bill gate organized a program that will help to fight polio in Africa especially in Nigeria that has the highest polio case in the world, the other day he was happy to announce on twitter, that Nigeria now has low polio case.....thanks to bill gate for the eradication of polio in Nigeria which has been reduced to a very minimum rate.
My concern is this, what has she done for average Nigeria...all she knows is to keep drilling our oil, am not proud of her cos her money is suppose to be for all Nigerians. Let them keep looting our oil and money, only God will save us from the hands of this corrupt being.
her company...famfa oil patners with some other oil servicing companies to give scholarships yearly to lotta nigerian undergraduate nationwide

Great insight! Almost all the wealthy people in Africa are nothing more than crooks, thieves and political profiteers who are sitting on our collective wealth. And as my pastor told me few weeks ago, they all belong to one secret society/cult or another.
