Next up, a 600 million dollar bailout for Oprah from her buddy the narcissist.
I’ll bet that she is the woman who keeps sending us winning lottery notices and stock offers from Nigeria.
She owes me a lot of money. What is her address?
Hey! Better someone who sells real oil than someone who sells snake oil!
Does she have a recommended reading list?
Is she married?
Give her a talk show!
So I thought I would post comments from Nigerians regarding their now famous sister:
Nigeria is all about who knows who.
Patricia Foluke Ette rose from being the hairdresser of Stella Obasanjo in a remote hamlet in Ota to being not just a member of the National Assembly but the first female Speaker.
Folurnsho Alakija rose from secretary to seamstress for Abacha's wife and now to the wealthiest black woman in the world.
Hard working Nigerian students sacrifice all their family money and many years to study up to P.hD level and rise to the level of Truck drivers for Dangote factories.
Not hard to see why Nigeria is a sham of a country.
Hmm.
This has all the whiff of corruption in high places written all over it. An oil mogul via a secretarial and fashion design career?
Comments bounced back and forth whether being Igbo and working for the former President's wife allowed her the "seed capital" to start her empire.
In the early 80s, Alakija quit her job and went on to study Fashion design in England, returning to Nigeria shortly afterwards to start Supreme Stitches, a premium Nigerian fashion label which catered exclusively to upscale clientele. The business thrived, and Alakija quickly made a tidy fortune selling high-end Nigerian clothing to fashionable wives of military bigwigs and society women.
Well, perhaps there might have been a little assistance ...
Is it OK to call a rich black person a tycoon?
Sounds racist. :-)
