Being the richest woman in Nigeria is certainly not what Folorunso Alakija thought she would achieve but the woman has shown with perseverance and determination you can get to the top.
Alakija is revealing how her faith and belief got her where she wanted and used this to encourage people.
she wrote,
“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 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 it’s 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.”
She continued her postand in her part two she wrote,
“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 my fulfillment 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!”
Nigerian actress Foluke Daramola Salako is telling it all on how it has not been easy keeping her sanity for the past 40 years.
The actress, who sat down with Punch’s Saturday Beats reveals how she has managed to keep herself all these years. She said,
“The turbulent thing I have faced especially in a place like Nigeria is that we are practically under pressure as celebrities. People keep demanding things from us and they don’t care how we meet their demands. They put a lot of pressure on me. Being psychologically and emotionally stable in Nigeria for over 40 years has not been an easy task. People see the glamour on the television screen and believe that is how we live in reality. Being psychologically stable despite all odds like living up to expectation, the pressure of living the way you want to and also even differentiating reality from showbiz has not been easy. Those are my turbulent times. A good thing about being a celebrity, however, is that when you are known, you are celebrated and it opens doors for you. Being known gives you a voice when others are struggling to get a voice.”
She said, “Another turbulent time for me was when I had to leave my first marriage. I would say I left the marriage as a shadow of myself. When I left that marriage, I felt less than myself and I felt the world had come to an end. That was a time in my life that was very turbulent. What I dread most in my life is to have a broken home and I experienced it with my first marriage. So I would say that was a time in my life that was really turbulent. But a very lovely and good time in my life was when I met the man I am married to. It was a wonderful time in my life.”
