The richest woman in Africa, Folorunso Alakija, has made a revelation of her life that not many people know. According to the billionaire, she was able to reach size even without a university degree.
The 67 year old woman who took over from America’s Oprah Winfrey to become the richest black woman on earth has revealed that contrary to what many believe about her, she has no university degree all because she came from a family where the female child was not considered important for tertiary education.
The wealthy woman took out time to inspire people who look up to her in a motivational post on her Instagram page.
She wrote:
"I want to encourage you to face the glory of God." It happened almost 27 years ago, when I gave my life to Jesus at the age of 40, and my life has not been the same since then Pray also for your life, will experience a total reversal.
I was born almost 67 years ago, into a large and illustrious polygamous Muslim family as number 8 of 52 children by a father who had 8 women
at that time big families usual, but what was unusual was that I was one of the very first Nigerian children who left their shores to go abroad at the tender age of 7.
Already at that age I knew that I was I could not afford to drop my family because I was seen as an ambassador, my desire was to study law, but my daddy did not believe in girls at the time.
Today I have no university degree, but God's fame lifted me and I received numerous honorary doctorates at home and abroad.
Everything you see today took almost two and a half decades, so I'm not an overnight success. On the other hand. By the grace of God, I am a blood that I have bought as a perfectly gilded, totally redeemed, heavenly child of God.
