AFRICA'S WEALTHIEST WOMAN FOLORUNSHO ALAKIJA HITS 66 & DEDICATES ALL TO GOD


For many years running now, the Executive Vice Chairperson of her own oil and gas brand known to the world as Famfa Oil, Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija has been acclaimed as Africa's number 1 wealthiest woman and it's like she's not ready in anyway or manner at relinquishing that post.

Though we don't know her exact worth, but it's been put in the region of $3 billion plus sweet Dollars. That an awesome amount of money or like some would say a very very tidy sum, running into a staggering or colossal sum if one were to change such amount into Naira. What that just says is that, it's like some are nearly as rich if not richer than their country, Nigeria.

So the supremely fashion conscious lady clocked 66 years today, Saturday, July 15, 2017 having being born on July 15, 1951 in Ikorodu, Lagos to Chief L.A Ogbara.

In her own special way at saying thank you to God for another year alive, the former President of FADAN penned a birthday message to herself, ascribing everything to her maker thus-

"Happy 66th Birthday to Me!

Lord Jesus, I come to your throne room to celebrate my Special day. Thank you Lord for making me see another beautiful year. Thank you Father for the Gift of life.

All I can say is THANK YOU LORD for WITHOUT YOU I AM NOTHING BUT WITH YOU I HAVE EVERYTHING I WILL EVER NEED. I AM TRULY GRATEFUL.

COVENANT KEEPING GOD! (Sic)

Madam only just recently as in just last month, June 2017 held a supersonic wedding for her son, one of the 4 who had to remarry after the demise of his first wife due to illiness. That wedding of the sseason held at an iconic palace, where one of Great Britain's most iconic figure, Sir Winston Churchill was born.

The  revebrations from that humongous wedding, which displayed sheer opulence in its most extravagant form has not yet subsided in the UK and would take a longwhile to subside.

So from us here we say, to the Lady of  a great and immense means. Happy birthday Madam. Long may you live to continually stamp your indelible feet upon the sands of time.

FASHOLA VS TINUBU-IS THE LAGOS APC READY TO IMPLODE?

SUPO SHASORE,SAN
AKINWUNMI AMBODE
ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU, GOVERNOR EMERITUS
Hmmmmmmmmm!!!!!! If it is true what we hear, then the plan of the opposition in Lagos might already be working and they might already be winning the battle ahead of the upcoming election, even though the election is still many many months away. 

There have been the unsubstantiated rumour and speculations all this while, that all might not be well between Governor Babatunde Fashola & his godfather, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The rumour mill seems to suggest that both are only just still tolerating each other, just to maintain peace and not necessarily jeopardize a lot of things. Though when most of this things crop up, people are said to come in to always sooth the nerves of the parties in involved. There seems to be another battle of supremacy playing out right now underground. According to the unconfirmed gist, the present Governor who has enjoyed 2 terms and who would be leaving when his tenure expires soon, is said to be favourably disposed to his own man Supo Shasore, SAN, who was the former Commissioner for Justice & Attorney General in Lagos (2007-2011) to succeed him as the next Executive Governor of the State of Excellence.

While the Governor is said to prefer Supo Shasore, his party's (APC) chief and benefactor on the other hand is said to favour another candidate entirely. Some have 'suggested' that the man after Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu's heart is Akinwunmi Ambode, a retired Permanent Secretary and the former Lagos State Accountant General.

This supposed choices of the 2 powerful men in Lagos politics is said to be causing some major disaffection & frictions, with supporters on each side already said to be going to their different trenches to begin a battle of supremacy. With this supposedly happening underground, it brings to mind the question; Can APC retain the rulership of Lagos? Can a kingdom divided against itself stand to win the battle against a growing formidable enemy(ies)? 

It is not just the PDP that the APC would have to contend with on the battlefield, there's also the growing love for JayKay- that is Jimi Agbaje, who we hear is quietly growing his formidable tentacles underground and might even be getting the full support of the powers that be at the center; who are hell bent on upsetting APC's apple cart any which way they can.

So would APC implode over the egos of these 2 strong men? Would the 2 juggernauts sheath their swords and agree on a candidate to put forward? The coming weeks will tell. Let's even see who get power pass!!!

Meanwhile, who would you prefer? Supo Shasore or Akinwunmi Ambode? 

Please have in mind that a normally accurate predictor like Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele of Inri Evangelical Ministries has ruled out the likes of Ganiyu Solomon, Musiliu Obanikoro, Akinwunmi Ambode and others from winning the next election. He has predicted that an unknown from Ikorodu would emerge.
