ReplyDeleteCongrats
ReplyDeleteShe's a great woman
ReplyDeleteKudos to her.
ReplyDeleteWho told you her wealth is not questionable???
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmmm
Exactly. Even if it's not questionable, it is still ill-gotten wealth. No one should be able to control several oil blocks by virtue of close relationships with people in power. Oil is the property of a country, not individuals. She is one of those that capitalized on the endemic corruption. Now she is being bestowed with honours.
DeleteAcademics that have slaved for years, conducting research with their money with very little recognition except maybe a professorship deserve this status. Not Mrs Alakija.
Nonsense.
I wanna be a billionaire so freaking bad!
ReplyDeleteCongrats ma!
ReplyDeleteUseless thieves that made it from a corrupt cabal
ReplyDeleteCongrats ma!
ReplyDeleteStella did you say her wealth is not questionable? If not for Mariam Babaginda(RIP)and IBB,she won't even be the richest woman in her village sef
