According to Forbes 2018, American TV Host Oprahwinfrey beats Famfa oil boss FolorunshoAlakija to be richest black woman on the planet!


Gist from praizeupdates


News source :: http://www.praizeupdate.com/oprah-winfrey-beats-folorunsho-alakija-to-be-richest-black-woman-on-the-planet/


I have said time without number on this forum that No Nigeria Billionaire is my role model apart from Dangote. He is innovative, fast thinker
and is always on the move to create the next big thing compared to the likes of Alakija who has not deemed it fit to build a refinery since owning that oil block since the mid 80's.

Billionaire indeed.

You asked for 10k and your dad told you he will give you in the morning before he
leaves for work, this is after he has thoroughly scrutinised what you needed the
money for,all the questions he asked is already making you angry.
Through out the night the man couldn't sleep because he was thinking of how to
give you his last 10k.
Morning came and he called you into the room to give you 9k instead of 10k and
you squeezed your face in discontent and reluctantly said thank you after
complaining its not complete.
Your mum after seeing this will not say anything but will meet you in your room
where your dad isn't and give you 2k from her own money and say "don't mind him,
use this one to complete it" smile from nowhere will enclave your face, you quickly
go to facebook and whatsapp to write "i have the best mum in the world, i love my
mum".
Now your dad had gone out again with just 1k in his pocket home and abroad to
top up fuel or use as transport to work.
He will never let you see this because he is a MAN.
Always try to appreciate your Dad for no reason because you won't know how your
life would have turned out without a fatherly figure in it..

It baffles me why Oprah is even being compared with Folorunsho Alakija. Oprah has always been the richest black woman in the world and she is self-made. Nothing was handed to her.

Exactly, it seems as competition. But by the way, it is media that's comparing not the individuals mentioned. The bottom line is, what is the wealth adding to humanity? If the answer is not glaring, then it is not really better than nigerian politicians money

lovely piece, I remembered in 2008 when I needed a laptop, and told my dad, this exact scenario played out ,
my dad gave me 80000 and mum added 25000 to complete it, and I did what u stated above which right now I feel so bad about it, we really need to start appreciating our dads...

Let me guess? you are a guy. That is why I prefer female children any day. They always stand up for their dads.

Sometimes I can't help but think how on earth does Oprah make so much through that her show shocked

She owns a production studio "HARPO"/ TV network called "OWN", publishes her own (expensive) monthly magazine, have written books, owns a private school in South Africa etc. I'm sure she also invests on the side to further increase her wealth.

She's self-made. I admire her so much. From being a crackhead on the streets to being one of the wealthiest people in the world, today. That's inspirational.

Why is alakija counter, when she did not work her way to the top?

Just like many Nigerian billionaires, there is always a gap between their startup and when they became billionaires. And you will always find the corrupt government in that gap .
