Kayode Ogundamisi slams billionaire Folorunsho Alakija in series of tweets.

In reaction to an earlier report about how Folorunsho Alakija rose from a polygamous family of 52 children to become a billionaire using an oil block that other companies rejected, Nigerian journalist, Kayode Ogundamisi, via a series of tweets slammed the billionaire stating that she should leave God out of her claim of rise to success cos it was a shady rise. READ TWEET BELOW.



@alakijaofficial collected oil block in Nigeria ‘by Faith’ that is the incredible story of the Gi(ant) of Africa 1 day you are the unofficial housemaid in @AsoRock running errands for the first family and by magnanimity of @NGRPresident get a oil block and richest 9ja woman.

#FolorunsoAlakija for so long we have allowed those who shared Nigeria’s commonwealth tell story they want us to hear. @alakijaofficial is not a story of some hard-working woman who just stumbled into “bad oil well turned good oil well” miracle. I Will do a thread before Monday.

So let us take another look at @alakijaofficialFor so long she sold the story of how #FolorunsoAlakija SUDDENLY got LUCKY. stumbled into one of Nigeria’s ‘BAD’ oil block and God turned it around making it a gold mine. Her tale is not unusual of those who rape our commonwealth.

Who is @alakijaofficial official spin is that of an entrepreneur but the reality like most Nigerian so called billionaires is a 1% cabal who acted as fronts to those who hijack state power for the benefit of themselves against the interests of the majority. A close nit RACKET.

From @AlikoDangote Femi Otedola MKO Abiola etc hardly will you dig into the real source of the wealth of so called successful Nigerian billionaires without tracing elements of state loot, unfair allocation of monopoly & private capture of national wealth same as @alakijaofficial

In the brutal days of Nigerian military dictators, they had civilian collaborators who acted as fronts, they are those described by the first set of coup plotters as the “Ten percenters” They form companies, form banks, the coupist divert commonwealth to this banks & companies

@alakijaofficiala announced her arrival amongst Nigerian elite as a ‘Fashion designer’ gained the attention of Nigeria’s version of Imelda Marcos wife of then dictator General IBB. Maryam Babangida was a powerful co distributor of Nigeria’s commonwealth OIL. #FolorunsoAlakija

@alakijaofficial became the lead fashion designer to Maryam Babangida who was the wife of Nigeria’s then dictator General IBB. Alakija was very close to her and had unfettered access to the Babangida’s and the then First Lady @AsoRock #FolorunsoAlakija

Successive Nigerian governments, occupants of @AsoRock routinely turned Nigeria’s oil block into some sort of candy they distribute as gifts to concubines, friends, associates, etc. No transparency, no competitive bid, it is at the mercy of @NGRPresident @alakijaofficialgained

@alakijaofficial inroad into the Babangida’s was facilitated by her friend, Biodun Laja, Rilwanu Lukman who was Secretary General of OPEC from 1 January 1995 to 31 December 2000 was the point man in OIL well bazar. Between them and IBB Nigeria’s oil well was gifted like candy.

@alakijaofficial story about being allocated a ‘useless oil block’ is a con story perpetuated over the years unchallenged. @alakijaofficialand those she was fronting for in @AsoRockknew they had a juicy oil block, they shortchanged Nigerians and as usual & continue to mock us

@alakijaofficial was gifted the oil block like bazar and the fashion designer abandoned her trade In incorporating Famfa Oil in 1991, and in 1993, it was awarded the leasehold rights to Oil Prospecting Licence, OPL 216. NOTE General Ibrahim Babangida was @NGRPresident 1985-1993.

@alakijaofficial continuously describe oil block confirmed to have recoverable reserves in excess of 1 billion barrels of oil equivalent as a ‘bad oil block turned lucky’ What she does not say is good or bad, then @NGRPresident@AsoRock should not turn commonwealth into bazar

@alakijaofficial continuously describe oil block confirmed to have recoverable reserves in excess of 1 billion barrels of oil equivalent as a ‘bad oil block turned lucky’ What she does not say is good or bad, then @NGRPresident@AsoRock should not turn commonwealth into bazar

rom Banks, to companies and now politics, the Nigerian commonwealth is circulating amongst so called ‘connected’ few. Honest entrepreneurs, stat ups, SME’s continue to suffer, they are sold LIES by the likes of @alakijaofficial @AlikoDangote Otedola, Micheal Adenuga and co

What the @alakijaofficial’s of Nigeria won’t tell young Nigerians is that a wing of the ruling elite appropriate resources belonging to all to a wing of the elite in the business community in what is a brutal version of capitalism, keeping the poor, poorer, hungry and dejected

When @alakijaofficial‘s of Nigeria make loads of free money, they become ‘philanthropists’ throwing a bit of crumb of what they appropriate from the poor back at them, so we create more billionaires than pull many out of poverty. We can’t all be STUPID. Don’t teach us nonsense

Kayode has ridiculed this woman. I guess she would be regretting her tweets.

Idiotic pigs of Biafra will defend this one one just to spite buhari

If only she had kept her "motivation story " to herself ..

She just use her own hand ( Twitter) destroy her own image..

Let's see how she pull through this..


Kayode really finish this woman

Dem talk say she used to be IBB girlfriend. e fit be true cos na IBB dash am the oil block



You see the problem with Nigeria is not the leaders but the followers and the media. The media praises economic locusts who stole the commonwealth of the people to high heaven. Take for example Femi Otedola who bribed Faruk Lawan with $600,000 to remove his name from the list of those who collected billions from petroleum subsidy. Femi never denied. But today, almost everyday here on Nairaland, you see Femi Otedola being celebrated on front page and called billionaire every now and then


The followers and media celebrate criminals so far they are from their tribe

Doubt if Bazar of 1993 is the cause of disaster Ogundamisi and co unleashed on us since 2015

this is fatality for folorunsho. Any mortal kombat fan in house can relate with that.

Brutal truth...


This guy no dey show mercy at all.

Enough of d criticisms, regardless of how she got it, I think d fact dat she was able 2 turn a fortune out of it makes her worth celebrating. Some will have d same opportunity & misuse it. @least,n she has employed Nigerians, which is a good thing.

Yes, the same way Ifeanyi Ubah diverted and sold NNPC products meant for the masses in his tank farm.

It is everywhere.

God has blessed folorunsho Alakija
and kayode's critism and that of
anyone else will not change
anything about her. Online rants
can't do her image any harm or bring any set back to her business.
While wasting your time online
attacking her, she keeps making it big offline. Instead of hating why can't you also just seek for God' favour. IBB helped her, pray to God that kings should favour you too.
