Nonsense, to start with I'm not hating on her success or anything like that but it make me sick to the stomach when they attribute everything to God as if God has an hand in iniquity , they make the upright ones believe something is wrong with them, how did a mere uneducated fashion designer got an oil block in the first place if not through corruption enshrined in the country,

Nigeria’s richest woman, Folorunso Alakija, has revealed how the oil block which allocated and licensed to her company came to be the chief cornerstone in West Africa and Africa as a whole after initially being rejected by most oil companies years ago.

Mrs. Alakija also revealed how her company fought the government in court for 12 years over profit sharing and became victorious as she attributed the victory to God.

Below is what the Oil tycoon and billionaire shared on her social media page;

My encounter with the glory of God... When I got to my wit’s end, I covenanted with God for blessings in return for a life long work and walk with Him.

To say that I did not see HIS Glory come into my life would mean I have turned God into a liar. It is only God who could have brought me from the back burner to the front burner. He Himself orchestrated and organized by divine intervention, the beginning and continuation of our delving into the oil industry.

The oil block allocated and licensed to us was not wanted by any oil company; we accepted it by faith and it has become the chief cornerstone in West African and Africa as a whole. The Government came back to “take” 50% out of our 60%, but after a 12 year battle in court, all was restored to the glory of God.

God has continued to be faithful as to be expected and I am here today as part of my fulfillment of my obligations to that covenant.

Therefore Receive the anointing to prosper. Receive the anointing for God’s Glory. Receive the anointing for God to single you out for upliftment and promotion.

Don’t lose heart, don’t lose hope……………Await that coming glory upon you in Jesus Name AMEN!

This woman is just trying to force herself to motivate , where as no one cares about what she trying to say because we operate a fraudulent structure and patronage system where things don't work as expected..

The earlier she keeps her testimony shut and firm to herself..
The sooner she would be disgraced by those in the know of the fraudulent system that made her who she is today..

Madam.. Enjoy your "blessings" in peace and stop trying to shove it down out throat..

Thanks...

Famfa oil is a company created for profit sharing, she can not use her name directly to enter into such profit sharing contract. It is her technical partners that actually have a functioning company you should be looking for job at.

Ole! God blessed you by robbing the unborn infants of Nigeria to pay you. The wealth you are calling yours belongs to the whole country and in a normal country you are nothing but a traitor that should be locked up for good.

Bolustical:

If I say you're stupid now, it'll seem as if I'm overreacting. So, Igbos too don't own oil blocs in the SS? Abi, tell us what the South East contributes to Agriculture, Revenues from Oil and Tax.

Statistics have shown over time that Igbos are the biggest parasites in the country.

Compare and contrast the economic relevance of Enugu and Imo with that of Abuja, Kano, Rivers, Lagos, Ogun and Akwa Ibom.
Shut the fùck up and stop being a dolt.
It's not about the tribe of the person that 'owns' the oil bloc. The issue issue is that, I think it is ridiculous for one person to own it.
It should be a property of the community or the entire state.

A little bird said somewhere that it was IBB not Obasanjo

http://sett.com/greenlight/44451

I think it was actually IBB that gave her the block because of her closeness to Maryam Babaginda,it might be that when Obj now came on board he collected it from her and later gave her back just like he did with so many other oil bloc owners...

So she really does nothing. No job creation to Nigerians and no work to do? Sounds like rent seeking.

How can one single person own an oil bloc?

Yet, all the communities around this oil blocs continue to live in penury.


Woe betide Ibb and Obj

OBJ has nothing to do with the allocation. IBB did, for a reason best known to him and definitely not in d interest of Nigeria. OBJ made attempts to get it back for the country but was stopped by the courts.

You're wrong
Before 2004, obj allocated several oil blocs to his friends, families and concubines.

Even the bakassi peninsula we lost to Cameroun was as a result of that oil fool's recklessness and carelessness.

Mouthgag thanks a lot.

I can assure you that this woman has never been to this area in the last 15 years. Yet the owners of the land and its recourses have nothing to gain from it.

Nnamdi Kanu was hated because he said the truth. Thieves and lazy parasites want to continue to steal from the SS/SE due to a corrupt political and military system.

Cursed is anyone who supports the continuous exploitation of these lands for the benefit of strangers.

Bros south south is not a part of south east. U guys shd stop lumping them together.

[quote author=EazyMoh post=65337067]I thought northerners owned all the oil blocks.
The North owned the entire country not only the oil blocks.
By the way, madam alakija was formal fashion designer to mariam babagida. She got the oil block partially own by the babangida's through the late formal 1st lady.

What else before. They are part of the problem of Nigeria. NNPC is like that too if not for NPDC. Everybody wants to be receiving alert for no work done. They are the ones who planted that state of mind in Ijaw and Itsekiri youths that will not work but expect to earn a fat monthly salary.
