savior22:
if you're looking for someone, to start a gender war with, then yours faithfully saviour 22 ain't that person. trust me, I will say the same thing if the culprit is a male. I'm only asking because she seems to be spending lavishly, while 90 percent of Nigerians are living in extreme poverty, doesn't that bother you?

Adesolomon2014:


She is the 'Visitor' of Osun State University.

I don't think this woman is from a polygamous setup, them for not allow her rise go anywhere. �. I thank God for her life saaaa.

armadeo:


Guy you are good. Really good. Nice one.

Many people will miss the point

babasolution:



specialised training institutes,technological hubs and centres,developing other sectors of the economy,what about polytechnics or skill training centres that are well equipped,education is not just about secondary or university

NwaAmaikpe:



As long as her husband paid her bride price; all that she owns belongs to him.

So the accolades belong to him actually.

No developed country in the whole world practices the type of capitalism practised here. Every developed country provided at the very least quality education for it's population and funding for such education is gotten from mainly from people as rich as Alakija.

Please get yourself exposure and a better education. Oops I forgot, Nigeria doesn't offer you this opportunity

delpee:


She spends a lot on charity projects and human capital development. One of her NGOs is Rose of Sharon Foundation which takes care of widows and orphans. I know she also empowers indigent young ladies by training them and starting them off in business.

She has given a lot of support in education. One example is a big hostel constructed in CMS Grammar School in her husband's name. The truth is that not everyone likes to advertise what they do to uplift society. Different strokes for different folks.

Companies in Nigeria pay a 2% education tax. Are you not aware? She pays tax. You should blame your government not private individuals.

Where in Ibadan are you sir? I am interested in getting one.

OK bye!

BedLam:
no but there's something called giving back. It is reason you were able to afford malaria drugs at one point. Same reason you got polio vaccines.

Now were they your money? But here you are acting stingy with money that's not even yours. Who knows? You might not get rich with that mentality.

She has been of help to the university.

rusher14:
Can't invest in education, factories, technology?

saajus:
You are thinking right. I don't know why Nigeria Elites lack common sense. The child wey u no train today, na hin go sell the house wey u build. You are building structures in an unsettled environment. Na one Boko Haram bomb go finish ur building.

Invest in Human through education. Do they think the likes of Bill Gates, Warren Buffet are fools by investing in research. Dangote too go dey donate cars to Police instead of educating his people in the North. North, the poverty and illiteracy capital of Nigeria.

trillville:

Funny comment.
Listen to yourself, 2 percent and you could even type that out. Nigeria is being raped by the elite class and the government. We need to find ways to cause friction between them if not Nigeria will never move forward. We have the highest number of out of school children, we have the highest number of people living in extreme poverty.

If you have ever been to a public primary school in Europe or America, you will understand that we are really getting shafted. Governments everywhere are run on taxation. Why should Nigeria be any different. Oil revenues are to be used to the benefit of all Nigerians on things like education and healthcare and not paying workers salaries. We need to move government to tax richer people more as this will cause a division amongst them. They ( as in elite) will be forced to improve our society if we do this but if we keep looking up to them and not demanding that Nigeria be run like a normal country things will never work.

einsteine:


Your ideas here show a tremendous deal of naivety. Excessive taxes are eventually suffered by the average people. When businesses are forced to close through excessive taxes, it is the average workers who would lose their jobs. I leave you to do the research on what happens when government "taxes richer people more". They would simply take their money and leave the country.

The government is at fault not some "rich people".

Are u an alumnus of Uniosun?

No. Based on news reports.

Can you Tell the nairalanders how many billionaires who made their money through begging

Trizzi:
Africa's richest woman Mrs Folorunsho Alakija is set to become the owner of the most expensive building in West Africa, if not Africa. Famfa Towers is currently being built on Alfred Rewane Road in Ikoyi Lagos.

The 22-floor edifice will set the billionaire oil mogul back a whooping N60billion or $165million but at a networth of nearly $3billion, it shouldn't be a problem for the former fashion designer who is said to be financing the project herself with no loans from any bank.

Over N6billion has already been pumped into Famfa Towers as building begins. The one-of-kind Tower will be used for commercial purposes. The last five floors is said to be for Mrs Alakija's personal use, possibly for her office and the rest will be rented out to people who can afford it.
