Nigerian Billionaire Folorunsho Alakija Former Ibb Loyalist Loses Sight by Agbaka1997(op): 2:49pm On Feb 26, 2025

Nigerian billionaire Folorunso Alakija, the founder of Famfa Oil, has tragically lost her sight, reportedly due to health complications following a near-air mishap. Alakija, 73, was traveling with her husband, Modupe Alakija, when the incident caused a spike in her blood pressure, which affected her vision. Despite experiencing ongoing eyesight issues, she chose not to pursue medical treatment, instead focusing on establishing a church. Her health continued to decline, and she ultimately lost her sight completely. Alakija is known for her vast wealth, including a significant stake in Nigeria’s profitable Agbami oilfield, which she acquired through a government-awarded oil prospecting license in 1993, a deal influenced by her relationship with Maryam Babangida, the wife of former Nigerian leader Ibrahim Babangida.

In addition to her business success, Alakija has been involved in philanthropy, including the Rose of Sharon Glorious Ministry International, and has been a prominent figure in Nigeria’s elite circles. Alakija's journey to wealth also includes significant connections with the Babangida family, with her oil block transforming into one of the most lucrative in the country after partnering with Texaco. Despite facing legal challenges, she retained her stake in the Agbami field, securing her place as one of the wealthiest women in Africa. Recently, Alakija attended a high-profile event, the launch of Ibrahim Babangida's book, amidst rumors of a separation from her husband after over three decades of marriage.

MADNESS!

She's a BILLIONAIRE in DOLLARS yet she neglected her health to the point of losing her sight.

It's MADNESS!

A sane person would have treated her eyesight and maybe channel her VAST resources to the establishment of a WORLD-CLASS vision-centric hospital.

But NO!
Madam would rather build a church. In addition to the THOUSANDS of other useless churches LITTERED everywhere.

Pure MADNESS!

She has lost her sight
He has lost his leg

Evil people must always pay for the ways.

It always surprises me when enlightened individuals choose to neglect their health for no reason! Especially when they’re wealthy and can afford the best medical care and treatment.

Should we then blame this negligence on religion perhaps?

It's real the story is even splattered on major tabloids. Though the inner circle want to be hush about it.

She’s most likely been dealing with GLAUCOMA, and there’s a reason why it’s called “the silent thief of sight”. It has NO TREATMENT, but is only MANAGED.

She must have managed it well to have come to this age before the loss struck.
A good number of them become blind before 60years of age.

Whether it is or not, this is not a time to judge her, but pray the Almighty makes it easy for her.

Blindness? Damnnn
Imagine being without any source of light in a dark room at night.
Then imagine that darkness being unending.
It’s such a pity.
