Free this woman abeg. She don hammer she don hammer. Ask same God to bless your hustle, simple.

Why is she thanking God
That's taunting Gods children and God himself

We know her story
She should be thankful to her punna

Queenext:
Only in Nigeria, absurd things are attributed to God.

Why attach God to a clear case of corruption, I really don't know when God is now supporting rubbish.

I am not hating on her,but her submission, would truly misled people, thinking that,spending countless times in church and prayer ground, expecting one nonsense miracle, spending manpower in pursuit of "come and see ,American wonder"

Madam,go siddon

Sir, in life one must balance everything. Pray and Work. NOT Pray and Pray or Work and Work.

Which God ? Obviously your own is an evil god .She don hammer ? People like you are disgrace to humanity .In fact ,you are a supporter of thievery if not actively involved .

true talk. She doesn't have any element in her to be a motivational speaker.

if not for IBB

The man's letter summaries the folly of mankind in thinking there's a god anywhere who blesses some selected people. It only rubishes this god if the fraud even exist.

She brought it upon herself. Good for her

Nothing goes for nothing. She gave something for something. Twas a good something she got in return.

There is nothing motivating about this alakija woman. This is a clear case of government nepotism. Like the op said,she should let us be with her story because such success story may not happen again in this modern world.

Giving oil bloc like biscuits and candy. Imagine the concunbility. Hey, Jesus, Oil bloc oooo, not even maybe one oil wells, but many oil wells.

No one would have given her that oil field if they thought it was viable. She was given a bad 'prospect' in the deep offshore when we had not yet fully even deployed offshore drilling in Nigeria. Dem give her marshland/wasteland.

There are oil field owners who lose money. Go and check. I can buy an oil field right now in the United States if I wish. But will it be viable? Most likely not. But that was the gamble she took. No one wants to talk about that risk.

When they finally hit oil the FG tried to collect it back under Obasanjo. She went broke fighting it to the Supreme Court. So shut your mouth if what you see and critisize is the final product and don't know what pressure the ingredients had to go through to become a beautiful cake. Shut your mouth!

A millionaire has millionaire problems
A billion.......you know the rest.


Until you find contentment, life will always be a big hole that nothing you have can fill.

This is not envy but a blatant disregard of rule of law and squandering of national resources. How can one man gift somebody the Nation's wealth. It happens only in Nigeria, oral come take this oil bloc.... it's inhumane and God hates such.

No one should even dash out an oil field even when not viable.. You don't see USA doing that, be like.. Oh Ivanka, take this oil bloc, you know nothing it in it.... It doesn't happen. More like giving the Lagos stadium to a private individual free of charge and he resurrects it. Infact you STFU.. You said you can buy an oil bloc.. she didn't buy her own, freely given.. had it been she paid one naira that would have been better, but no..

She did not buy it. It was given to her.

Bro, you are the one exposing yourself as a poor and completely useless person.

Someone used corrupt means to own an oil block that is worth billions and you are here praising the corrupt woman and insulting her detractors.

Do you know what a billion naira can do for an impoverished community?

You are the kind of person that can vote a tyrant that will suppress your rights as long as the tyrant is rich.

no need to be sorry. When u read comments of most Nigerians, you have no option than to give up hopes on making the country great.

See ignoramus citing us as an example .Tell me the details of laws governing the US possession of oil blocks . She was given what they thought was not viable ? Are you saying that arbitrariness was not involved here ? A military general doing that ? To you ,that's how its done in other climes .No reasonable person with a clean source of income can be proud of somebody like you.

After receiving a signature bonus, out of which Alakija was able to pay the balance of the license to the government, Alakija started working with her new partners. Chevron set up an office four months after signing the partnership contract, with Alakija holding on to 60% of the shareholding of the oil block and Chevron taking 40%. Chevron later sold an 8% stake to Petrobras in exchange for their deep offshore technical expertise.

Oh please! History is always twisted. So you expected them to write that oh she was a seamstress with no money and FG did everything for her.

If you truly like her, your advice to her should be to keep her stupid 'motivational' stories to herself and enjoy her undeserved good fortune quietly. That can't be too hard to do.

If she must taunt others with her unnecessary stories without disclosing what exactly entitled her to the oil block (the real back story), then she fully deserves the backlash she's getting. There are tons of billionaires in Nigeria who made money through the back door and are enjoying their illicit wealth quietly without drawing any attention to themselves. Why can't Alakija tow that line? This isn't about envy.

Arondizuogu:

I leave you with your poverty mentality. Since you believe you can never make it big

You said no payments made. I showed you. Now you say history twisted. If she no pay she for no win FG for court. One hand.

I don't understand why her case alone is receiving so much attention. The reality is that many of the wealthy people in this country derived their wealth from or through the government. Oil blocks, import waivers, beneficial laws with insider knowledge, indirect monopolies, outright looting etc

When we learn to follow due process without fear or favor and punish those who refuse to comply, things will change.

You don't know how annoying it is when some fools mention this woman's name in the same sentence with Oprah Winfrey. It's almost sacrilegious. Alakija is not even qualified to wash Oprah Winfrey's underwear.

CastedAyo:

Some weeks ago, Mrs Folorunsho Alakija, the richest Woman in Nigeria, tweeted that she accepted her oil well given to her by former military leader, Ibrahim Babangida, ''by faith''.


So, an unidentified Nigerian actually sent a hilarious open letter to her which was published in the dailies last week.

Read the open letter below;



https://www.torimill.com/2018/03/read-open-letter-a-nigerian-wrote-to-alakija-after-saying-she-accepted-her-oil-well-by-faith.html

People need to take time to listen to this woman's interview on Forbes TV then some of us might then understand what she meant by what she said.
This woman is a success story that u feel we all can learn from. If this was a foreigner I bet a lot of Nigerians would want to publish their stories in book but now she is a Nigerian, instead we learning one or two things, we are all online condemning this woman that has made Nigeria proud.

We all want to attain success but we can't even identify with our own. Hmmmm

I don't know how you read. Let's give you in Queen's. If she had not paid her prospecting license fees, her default would have been grounds for seizure in the Courts. I hope you have made it. If not I pray you do.
