Billionaire Folorunso Alakija, one of Africa’s wealthiest women and founder of Famfa Oil, has reportedly lost her eyesight due to health complications following a near air mishap. According to sources close to SaharaReporters, the 73-year-old business mogul and philanthropist experienced a spike in her blood pressure during the incident, which allegedly affected her vision. She was traveling with her husband, Modupe Alakija, Chairman of Famfa Oil, when the incident occurred.
Following the traumatic event, Alakija reportedly ordered a new jet to avoid flying with her husband, but her vision continued to deteriorate until she ultimately lost her sight. A source revealed that instead of seeking immediate medical treatment for her eyesight issues, Alakija chose to focus on her ministry, the Rose of Sharon Glorious Ministry International, which she founded in 2004. She was ordained as an Apostle on her 69th birthday.
Alakija, a prominent figure in Nigeria’s business and religious circles, holds a significant stake in OML 127, a lucrative oil block in Nigeria’s Agbami deepwater oilfield. Her net worth was estimated at $1 billion by Forbes in 2020, making her one of the richest women in Africa. In 2015, she was ranked 87th on Forbes’ list of the world’s most powerful women, further cementing her status as a global icon.
The news of her health challenges has sparked concern among her followers and admirers. Alakija’s journey from a successful businesswoman to a religious leader has inspired many, and her contributions to philanthropy and entrepreneurship have left an indelible mark on Nigeria and beyond.
As the public awaits further updates on her condition, many are hopeful that she will receive the necessary care and support during this difficult time. Her resilience and faith continue to inspire millions, and her impact on business, religion, and philanthropy will undoubtedly endure.
