manny4life:Kai!! We Nigerians and ITK sha........ If you had bothered to read the original link or even the secondary link from the UK newspaper you would see that your point 1 makes you the carrier of old gist and the one that didn't carry out his research properly; thus I wonder if anyone should even give any credence to your point 2. Anyway my Biafran brother, you can see that this habit you developed of ignoring links you don't like can leave you with yoke on your face. |

Most Nigerians are just bunch of useless money worshipers! It is a shame that country is deceiving a lot of them. Please, fight for your rights and force the government to provide you with basic facilities! |

kabaka1: Kudos to this naija lioness. She's such s great inspiration for both women & men 2 & I hope that produces more of her kind in d near future I'm skeptical of this kind of "hard work" as inspiration for my sister or daughter. We all know how people get oil wells in Nigeria. I wish her well though. |

All of you are happy about someone else's success, instead of you to try and make your own. To be sincere, this woman used to live close to our house back then in the 90's she was just an average woman doing business. But now, after about 19 yrs later, she's now the richest black woman. Well, it was because she went into the oil and Gas business. How we wish we had made friends with her back then. We are still here...now she has blown....God bless her. |

manny4life: My man, she now does effective from this year. NNPC relinquished their 50% of Agbami to her (she now has 60%, only God knows what her profit margin is now!). Her working interest was initially 10% which translated to 3.33% profit share on 160,000bbls/day of production. You are very correct about the WoodMackenzie report, however they have not updated their report on Agbami to reflect current realities. One thing is sure though, she must have struck a deal with the govt in power, because there's no reason why NNPC would let go of their 50% if some powerful people are not behind it. I'm telling you bro, Nigeria has gone to the dogs. God help us! To educate the ignorant on this thread and clarify the location of Agbami Block. You'll see that it's located offshore BAYELSA/RIVERS STATE.

ON A GOOD START UP WITHOUT CORRUPTION, DANGOTE AND THIS WOMAN WILL NOT BE ANYWHERE CLOSE TO FORBES LIST. BOTH OF THEM ARE FRONTING FOR CORRUPT POLITICIANS WHO HAVE HUGE STAKE IN THEIR COMPANIES. WITHOUT THE HELP OF PAST PRESIDENTS, SUPPORTING DANGOTE TO FORCEFULLY MONOPOLIZE CEMENT, SUGAR ETC , HOW WILL HE AMOUNT TO RICHEST MAN. OF COURSE WE KNOW THAT ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH OIL BLOCK IN NIGERIA IS CORRUPT, SO WITH THOROUGH INVESTIGATION, YOU WILL DISCOVER THE MAIN PEOPLE THIS WOMAN ACCOUNT TO. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE, FOR ANY NIGERIAN BASED IN NIGERIA TO MAKE IT TO THE LIST OF WORLD RICHEST PEOPLE WITHOUT CORRUPTION . 1 Like |

mekaboy: ON A GOOD START UP WITHOUT CORRUPTION, DANGOTE AND THIS WOMAN WILL NOT BE ANYWHERE CLOSE TO FORBES LIST. You're 90% correct Emeka. one can't be richer than the economy in which he or she operates, otherwise, it raises questions. The prosperous Western countries and emerging Tigers produce genuine billionaires, wnereas poverty stricken, economically comatose backwater dungeons like Nigeria purport to produce the richest Man and Woman in the black world? Genuinely? How possible is that? It's just like the Russian oligarchs. . .who got wealthy by gang-banging their country's commonwealth. It's not quite the same thing as the likes of Marc Zukerberg, Warren Buffet, or Amancio Ortega - who got wealthy though genuine hard work, talent, and/or 'luck'. Alakija would NEVER be as inspirational as Oprah Winfrey, in that regard. |

I took my time to read the full story with all the links and I discovered that the story is true. She was allotted the oil block in 1993 by Babangida Administration. You will recall that Danjuma said categorically that he sold his own for one billion (1993) US dollars but Alakija did not sell her own but went into partnership with Star Deep(a subsidiary of Chevron) for a 40% stake. when they struck oil, NNPC under OBJ took over the 50% stake and her take was reduced to 10%. Forbes estimate of her $600m USD last year was based on the 10% stake. She went to court that NNPC has no right to take over 50% without spending a dime and she claimed she spent an average of about 3 billion USD annually to get to a productive stage before NNPC decided to take it over. After a couple of years of legal battle, the Supreme Court in May 2012 ruled in her favour and that was how she owned 60% again and that projected her net-worth to over 3 billion USD ahead of Oprah's 2.7 billion as the world's richest black woman. The breakthrough started in 1993 (19 years) ago and no wonder the success. I really appreciate this woman for her tenacity in not selling her own oil block like some other people who are privileged to be given oil block then. If she had done so, this story won't have come up today. the so called $ 3B stake will be to some foreigners. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZlsQF3Q_2c [size=15pt]Folorunsho Alakija Becomes World's Richest Black Woman[/size] According to Ventures Africa, an African business magazine and news service, the richest black woman in the world is NO LONGER Oprah Wilfrey but Nigerian Billionaire oil tycoon Folorunsho Alakija. The report suggests that the 61 year-old owner/founder of Famfa oil is worth at least $3.3 billion, $500 million richer than media mogul Oprah Winfrey whose wealth Forbes magazine estimated at $2.7 billion in September. Infact, Alakija's claim in a $10.74 billion oil well is worth $6.44 billion. But the report subtracts 50% of the $6.44 billion (in a worse case scenario) since it is unknown whether or not the company has any long-term or short-term debt. In essence, If Famfa oil is debt free, Mrs Alakija will undisputedly be the world's richest black woman with $6.4 billion dollars. She is also reported to have a real estate portfolio running into hundreds of millions.It was reported earlier this year that she acquired a property at Hyde Park in London for $102 million. She also owns a Bombardier Global Express 6000 jet which she bought earlier this year for a reported $46 million. |

62-year-old oil tycoon and fashionista, Folorunsho Alakija, has reportedly unseated media executive, talk show host, and philanthropist, Oprah Winfrey. According to American business magazine, Forbes magazine, Alakija’s fortune has been estimated at $600 million, as of November 2012, however, the magazine’s editor-in-chief Uzodinma Iweala said his researchers were ‘closer to the ground.’ Expatiating the reports, they noted that Brazilian oil company, Petrobas, was looking to sell its 8 per cent stake in OML 127 for $1.5- $2.5 billion, and extrapolated that if they managed to sell it for $1 billion, Alakija’s 60 per cent stake would be worth at least $7.3 billion.
