This is very wrong. How can you claim it is God's favour when she was given an oil bloc that she did not deserve and the giver (Babangida) had no right to give?

Are cronyism and corruption now the main things preached as God's favour?

My brother, I call it God's favour because she was privileged to partake of the national cake those thieves have been distributing among themselves and their family members ONLY. So for one Fashion Designer who was not in any way related to them to have being give such a hugesome gift as OUR Oil Bloc, I see no reason why I wouldn't call it divine favour!
And believe me, Mariam already had a fashion desginer even before Alakija was introduced to her, but she wasn't so favoured as Alakija. I hope you see it from my perspective.

How many lives has she affected with her oil money?

Make she as well unseat Oprah Winfrey (I love that woman o) for number of lives wey she touch and still dey touch.

If you are wealthy and there are poor people around you then you are poor.

GEJ till 2019

dat been wealthy n der re poor people aRrnd u makin u poor nnah useless talk.....

You are the one who lacks low IQ and business acumen. As a fashion designer,there's no way she would have been able to secure the needed funds to establish an oil firm that would have the finacial capacity to bid for an oil well and win it. That's why I said "simple logic tells me there's no correlation between being a fashion designer and being able to float an oil firm capable of bidding for oil wells and winning it". The only way that could have happened,is if She was given as a gift due to either her direct connection with the govt of the day,or Her having contact to someone who has a direct contact with those in authority and as I righty thought,a nairalander has exxplained her closeness to the former military ruler whose wife,she sewed for and He in turn favoured her with that oil well. Oil wells aren't given to just anybody. Learn to think properly when quoting people.

Dear , as much as I do not hold brief for Famfa Oil boss , however I must say that I detest people like you who have low IQ and lack business acumen . For your information , one's foresightedness , personality , determination , perseverance , hard work and smartness is all that leads to monumental hight of success in business as the woman and her company has attained .

Believe you me , should you change your mindset today , package yourself well and place your target at the right position , I bet you that in the next coming years your life story will change for good . The only class of people that do hardly record monumental success in business in short period of time are mostly people into article merchandising . Real time entrepreneurs always know how to go about hitting it big . Chose your line of business wisely .

Ok

Behind every great fortune,there is a greater crime. But Oprah's wealth is legit.

Na me remain oh
video for you tonite

Is any of her daughter still single?

So what?

How did she get to this position, through hard work? CAPITAL NO.

She was a who.re for the Nigerian cabal of looters, she deserves zero respect or accolades but knowing s.tupid sycophantic wanna be Nigerians many of you will kiss the ground she walks on - fools! Many of you will remain fools till you enter the grave.

Congratulations .

should individuals own oil blocs?

cutebebe:

there is no hate inside jare...there is a massive inequality in income distribution which is very sad

U cnt imagine how rich Nigeria is and yet her populace struggle to survive. .even those in d oil producing states aint living up to par....is nt dah pathetic enough? ?

Am not moved.. Effect of Govt patronage, our collective wealth is been held by very few Nigerians..

I second u jare. I just wonder why all dis wealthy people are only those who have connections. Even Oprah started from the scratch with an inspiring story of falls and rejection. Most of all these Oyinbo Billionaires have this Lines of stories but most of our own only have stories of " schooled in London, then America, worked in Oil company, married to an ambasador then started her biz with Billions already. Please how do you think they'll Motivate people who have the story of "born in a poor Village, went to public school, strive to pass tru university and roaming around with still no job then started this prety business that even our billionaires will consider Sub-standard 'cause it's not branded with a known name and is too cheap for some1 like them to use 'cause it'll look like insult.".

I'M NOT MOVED AT ALL. Duhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

You don't get it ! do you ? There is a different between a dynamic and versatile entrepreneur compared to dullards . Any dynamic and versatile entrepreneur does not need quantum of years of experience and money before delving and diversifying into another line of business . And this explained the reason why I stated in my earlier message that one's foresightedness , personality , determination , perseverance , hard work and smartness is all that leads to monumental hight of success in business as the woman and her company has attained .

To answer your questions. She was a very good fashion designer when someone introduced her to Mariam Babangida of blessed memory. Mariam Babangida has always being a very beautiful woman, but her fashion designer helped brought out all the beauties out of her. It was natural that she introduced her fashion designer to her husband who was then the Head of State because IBB would have been so impressed with the appearance of his wife anytime she steps out in those beautiful well-tailored wears. And in appreciation, IBB (who ran a chop-I-chop government), generously gave her an Oil Bloc (which she later registered as Famfa Oil) as he gave to others and because God has decided to favour Alakija, her Oil Bloc turned out to be the best among the others.

She didn't acquire her wealth as any rich man's mistress, she acquired it from God's divine favour. She simply met the right people at the right time, my dear.

So you think its normal for a president to give out an oil bloc as a present to a seamstress simply because she made nice clothes for his wife? You need to be checked into a psychiatric institution asap.
With people like you in abundance in Nigeria there is simply no hope for Nigeria.

Not hating...but i also was gonna ask how many trusts and educational foundations have she established to make solid contribution back into her community and country.Afterall she benefitted far above others in the same country where many are scrambling for crumbs.

All we read is this is the ricest that is the richest.How does it affect our image and assist poor citizens who would greatly benefit from her largess?

This shows how nigerian women are so powerful in the world nowadays thumbs up to her

Can you imagine what the US would look like if former presidents had handed out big chunks of oil rich land in Texas to their mistresses and sycophants?

Kenai:


Boss, the so called "humble beginnings" isn't the type of thing anyone should be proud about when the said woman went from being a mistress to a corrupt dictator, to owning an oil bloc that she did not earn through hardwork or professionalism.
If you don't realize she's part of the rot in the society, then I don't know why there should even be a discussion here.

What you fail to understand is that every successful enterprise involves cunning and smartness. You only have to look at an individual to see the good side even from a bad attribute, that's what you emulate.

Even a who.re can be successful by doggedness, waking early, working late, selling her wares to exclusive clients and brand positioning etc - all attributes of a good businessman. These are the good you emulate even as a man and not opening up your behind for other men!

I don't know Oprah and don't want to know her but the Alakija i know can never ever be this rich from Tailoring business to be able to acquire Oil well... That goes to show aw corrupt the system has been but corruption is been Legalized under GEJ..

By the way , my company is into business facilitation and lobbying . Perhaps , I can help package you well and lead you to success in the business world . At least , when you experience monumental success within short period of time , you will realize what I mean . And by then your thought process and mindset will change for good toward many of the successful people out there . A lot of opportunities abound , my brother . What most of you people termed gift and luck , I see them as foresightedness and smartness .

Baba God see am so ooo. Do my own for me. I shall make that Forbes list one day as the richest man or richest black.

She, Dangote and all others are just enjoying govt money.. I don't envy them..

Whizpeter:
Who says Nigerians don't have money? So the Richest Black Man in the world and the richest black woman in the world are both from Nigeria...
Where are my Igbo brothers in Alaba, Ladipo, Computer Village, Onitsha, ABA and other major markets in Nigeria... Una hustle never pay...
P.S: M an Igbo dude, before someone would quote me and scream racism...

why people are celebrating the riches of just one woman, majority of igbos are living comfortable lives.
I'd rather be in nation that doesnt have billionaires but has a good per capita income than to be in a nation that has 20 billionaires from a corrupt system yet has very poor citizens

Fck off you dumb sycophant.

what is good about a woman who has made zero contribution to the economic growth of NIgeria, a woman who became a multi millionaire simply from lying on her back and servicing your politicians?

A prosti.tute could rule over you dingbats and you would still be licking her ar.se as long as she is rich, you people are a disgrace to the black race.

Yes, we're in the 21st century where nations invest millions in educating their populace, making great technological advancements and propelling their nations to greater and greater heights but in backward primitive Nigeria fools like you applaud a common who.re who has made zero contribution to the upliftment of her nation and people - shame on you!
