VolvoS60:Do you understand she argued a case in the court for nearly 12 years before she could gain full access to the oil bloc Did you realize that she wasn't only the person lucky enough to be given such oil bloc ? Do you know what is needed to seize an opportunity? Do you know the effort needed to run a successful business in a country like Nigeria? If you can answer all the aforementioned questions, then you will realize my reasons for using "diligence" and "hard work" in my previous comment. You will also understand the reasons I had correct the misconceptions of some of her haters |

greiboy: ^^^^ I'll address your points one by one: Do you understand she argued a case in the court for nearly 12 years before she could gain full access to the oil bloc? It might be a good idea for you to give the details of that lawsuit here and how it supports your argument about hard work on the part of the owner. Did you realize that she wasn't only the person lucky enough to be given such oil bloc ? That's exactly my point. You do acknowledge that 'luck' played a big part in getting that licence. Kind of stands the whole 'hard work' argument on its head. Yes, other beneficiaries frittered away their blocs and FAMFA's vice chairman (as she was then) didn't waste hers. But the key point is how the bloc was gotten to begin with. Do you know what is needed to seize an opportunity? Yes sir, I do! You seize some every day and so do I! I wager that there are millions of Nigerians who could have equally seized the 'opportunity' she was given and done just as well or even better. I can't prove it of course, but I can bet on it. Do you know the effort needed to run a successful business in a country like Nigeria? Yes I do. Everyday is a struggle and some days are worse than others. And success remains elusive. But you do it anyway. I'll refer you to a 20+ page thread from 2012 on Mrs Alakija: https://www.nairaland.com/1115686/africas-richest-woman-nigerian-folorunsho/14#13204850 I'll leave you with one of my posts on that thread: "FAMFA's vice-chairman (i.e. Alakija) may indeed have the boldness and heart of a lion but that is not what's on trial here. What is on trial here is an OPL allocation process (of which FAMFA is a direct beneficiary) that is opaque and guaranteed to raise suspicion of unethical behviour. Why is this so hard for everyone to understand? It is in everyone's interest (including future OPL winners) that the allocation process be transparent, fair and seen to be fair. This means future winners will never have to worry about being tar brushed as beneficiaries of the worst kind of crony capitalism." 2 Likes |

Coitus: What do you mean by "fück all rich people in Nigeria?" The opportunities are still there to be a millionaire in your own right, its just that the country is not friendly Yet, with persistence, you can make it. |

VolvoS60:No one is on trial here. She only told her story, you are the one here trying to soil her name by up digging irrelevant post to support your assertion. At least, I am glad you gave her some credit for her achievements. Here is an actual newspaper where the was woman making a case for herself. You will be able to spot where she talked about her court case and how long it took for her company strike crude oil. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/10/made-billionaire-obasanjo-tells-folorunsho-alakija/ |

greiboy: ^^^ We can agree to disagree. You claim I am trying to soil the woman's name by digging up irrelevant posts. I have made my point with facts and I have kept the conversation civil. I took the trouble to look up your reference but you called my reference thread 'irrelevant'. . To each his own.

VolvoS60:That is if you made any points here or just showed nairalanders a bitter and unsolicited perspective For the record. I never bothered to check up your source because I realized it was a source from nairaland I never wanted to engage anyone or you to begin with, you gave me two mentions and I responded to one Anyways, you said we should agree to disagree, which I believe should have been the civil route you should have taken in the first place have a nice day |
