There is a thread currently on the top of the front page about folorunsho Alakija being the richest black woman ahead of Oprah Winfrey.
https://www.nairaland.com/2065952/folorunsho-alakija-unseats-oprah-richest

This is false

Alakija's net worth is $2.5 billion http://www.forbes.com/profile/folorunsho-alakija/
Oprah Winfrey's net worth is 3 billion http://www.forbes.com/profile/oprah-winfrey/

These figures are both 2014 figures (sept and april)


The front page thread is copied from a poorly written thisday article which uses the valuation of a company she partly owns rather than her direct value. Alakija is not worth 7 billion

Apologies if this is not the right place to report this.

Thanks.

Alakija. Oprah all I knw is both of dem women are billionaire I mean billion dollar

To all the mods, I apologise again.

I just read that we are not supposed to make threads on issues like this. Instead, I should have mailed the mods only.
