Folurunsho Alakija: …And I Smile

Let me write openly to this very lovely mummy. You see, recently, we have been seeing news reports online saying that you have been giving the full glory to God for your fantastic good fortune in life. I even saw another one that quoted you as saying that you became a billionaire without going to University. You see, your case is like that of taunting a man after losing his wife to his Gardner. Mummy, please just allow us be, let us remain in our corner to lick our wounds for being born in such a society where arbitrariness happens to be the rule of the day. Or how can we explain how by your own admission ‘God gave you an oil block. Oil block ooooo!!!!! Not bowl of rice. A real oil block. Only in a country like ours can God come down and choose just one person out of the teeming millions for an oil bock. I really thank him for his favour towards you and your family and that is why I am saying let us be o. We are very fine and we do not need to know how you ‘made’ it without going to University. This one is not good as it would mislead our youths who will be expecting this kind of miracles which only happens to favoured seamstresses and not everyday people and when they don’t get this oil block they will now start doing drugs and the rest. So madam, we remain very happy for you, but yours is not a motivational story, it is a fairy tale that I do not think can ever happen again in this world. So we thank you for your concern, kindly allow us o. We are very fine. Thank you, enough of the stories, God bless you.
