And even if she us a fashion designer to king of Arabia her bet worth is not even half of the money to bid for a well

I don't blame her though I blame these Niger Delta people that are busy drinking rum and gin while others make money off them

How can a tailor bid for an oil block and get it. Such a travesty

And you believed that story

i concur there is a great possibility she is fronting for someone in the govt

You are quoting one of the motivational words that those thieves use to brainwatch people. This woman started during the time that women were seen as second best. Dont forget till 90s nigeria was under millitary when mighty men with musscular education were stugling to stand on their feet during the time a woman could get bloc licence just like that? Bros it is more than that.

More grease to her wings but she doesn't have my admiration

well she has mine. At least she struggled well enough 2 get where she is. U think co-owning an oil firm is child's play Though she could probably do much more than she's doing....FUI{For Una Information}, oprah is still richer. That 7billion is the company's worth not her's.

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.

We should try not to be negative when.nigerian women are successful. Anybody, man and woman can make money. It is just abt being at the right place, at the right time, with the right set of people.

Setting up an oil coy is not so big as u think.
My cousin was able to do that at 27 years. She worked with a coy dt has so much money but the boss doesnt know what to do with the money or businesses to fix it. It as a communication and logistics coy in abuja. She advised the boss that they need to diversify into oil and gass and the boss told her to lead the project which she did. She employed an experienced hand in the field and matched his salary. He recruited other staff to work wi th him and the oil coy was good to go. They got experienced marketers who are part owners of any deal they seal. The oil coy took off .

Apart from that, if you are rich and influential, businesses come to you naturally. Some bright guys might need your name on the board of their coy to sell their brand. They may come to you to bankroll the idea and you name your stake. It is still possible that the fashion designer made money and invested in sumones idea.

Remember also that she has worked in the bank and met ppl. She was a secretary showing she has some office mgt skills. Contacts when used well can change your level.

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.

#Fact!
But she must be fronting for one corrupt govt official. Na today?

You will need to ask Babangida and his late wife Maryam how Mrs Folorunsho Alakija was awarded an oil block.
BTW, there is nothing recent in this post. We know shes been the richest black woman in the world since late last year.

If she was engaged in any philanthropy work like oprah, she wouldn't be the richest woman. Even far south Africa benefits from oprah's generousity.what has her own state of origin benefited from her?

Can you see the reason why the north and west are hell bent on snatching power from the south by all ludicrous,ignoble means, because these oil leases are not likely to be renewed under GEJ.

GEJ till 2019 !!

If one fronts another trusted friend in a business venture but unfortunately dies, that trusted friend would stand to benefit. Sadly, Miriam Babangida is no longer here to tell the tale.

]Niger Delta oil making some people rich

And their people will keep insulting GEJ.
Nigerians prefer mercy than justice. It doesn't matter whether it's about your region or not. And until leadership is justified in this nation, there can't be a progressive society. And which oil are u taking about if not that we have clueless leaders who can't tap into other revenue generating resources. The prospects in agriculture alone triple that if oil.
