  29. I am not hating, but what is the rationale behind individuals in the country owning oil blocks? When i learn of how wealthy they are i am never impressed, that's because any one can be empowered with an oil block today and that's instant wealth. Tell me something else.

  50. in what way is she giving back to the society....does she have a foundation targeted at a particular cause....flaunting wealth is not enough...as i write, dangote is building a public hospital in Kano valued over 2 billion naira. that's commendable. Tunde Ayeni, chairman of Skye Bank gave back to the society by donating 2 billion naira to the presidential campanin of Goodluck Jonathan....Mrs Alakija should tell us what she is doing for the society in terms of Corporate Social Responsibility..

  80. Hey Lin...Much as I'd love this beautiful compatriot to be Africa's richest, she's not. That position is currently held by Isabel dos Santos, daughter of Angola's president! Dats Africa for U...Compliments of the season.

  81. I used to know her personally many years ago. She lived close to us in a high-brow area of Surulere with her husband and four boys then. She was nice and very full of life and extremely hardworking. A real hustler! God bless her. She's made women proud.
