Africa’s Richest woman, Mrs Folorunsho Alakija today revealed how she got an oil bloc that had been discarded by all but went on to become the best of the best.
But naturally, as with everything in recent times, Nigerians hit back on Folorunsho Alakija with savage replies.
She had earlier also revealed how she was able to become as rich as she is even without a university degree.
She had taken to her social media to tell her tale, she’d said;
“I would like to encourage you on my encounter with the Glory of God.
It happened almost 27 years ago when I gave my life to Christ at the age of 40 and my life has not been the same ever since, I pray for your life too, will experience a total turn around.
I was born almost 67 years ago, into a large and illustrious polygamous Muslim family as number 8 out of 52 children through a father who had 8 wives.
Back then large families were common, but what was unusual was that I was one of the very first few Nigerian children who left its shores to go and study abroad at such a tender age of 7.
Even at that age, I knew I could not afford to let my family down cause I was seen as an ambassador.
My desire was to study law but my Daddy did not believe in investing in girls at that time.
Today, I have no university degree, but God’s glory lifted me up and I have received numerous Honorary Doctorate Degrees at home and abroad.
All of what you now see today has taken almost two and a half decades, so I am not an overnight success. On the contrary. Through God’s grace, I am a blood bought totally forgiven, absolutely redeemed, heaven-bound child of God.
I have had to make sacrifices like everyone else, faced challenges but never given up.
I have not compromised myself, my values or my faith.
In another post, she also thanked God for all he’d done and then told the story of her trials and tribulations as regards obtaining and maintaining the oil bloc.
My encounter with the glory of God😇🙏 When I got to my wit’s end, I covenanted with God for blessings in return for a life long work and walk with Him.
To say that I did not see HIS Glory come into my life would mean I have turned God into a liar.
It is only God who could have brought me from the back burner to the front burner.
He Himself orchestrated and organized by divine intervention, the beginning and continuation of our delving into the oil industry.
The oil block allocated and licensed to us was not wanted by any oil company; we accepted it by faith and it has become the chief cornerstone in West African and Africa as a whole.
The Government came back to “take” 50% out of our 60%, but after a 12 year battle in court, all was restored to the glory of God.
God has continued to be faithful as to be expected and I am here today as part of the fulfilment of my obligations to that covenant.
Therefore Receive the anointing to prosper.
Receive the anointing for God’s Glory.

Receive the anointing for God to single you out for upliftment and promotion.
Don’t lose heart, don’t lose hope…………… Await that coming glory upon you in Jesus Name😇 AMEN!
As with the money-swallowing Snake and the Money-pilfering Monkey, Nigerians were in full troll mode, questioning how she got the oil Bloc in the first place and whether it was possible to get an oil bloc for free.
Read some of the reactions below.
So lots of people are bashing her that she got an oil bloc for free. I'm just here wondering the kind of network she must have had to have received such a "gift"

Sometimes, I feel rich folks use their humble beginning stories to spite us. If my dad got a oil well too, I believe we'll be billionaires now
