Nigerian, Folorunsho Alakija, is worlds richest woman
Who says good thing cannot come out of Nigeria? It is happening
every time but the bad apples in our society are really trying to spoil the
whole bunch. They will not succeed.
Folorunsho Alakija is a woman and 61 years old and a
NIGERIAN. She has pushed Oprah Winfrey down on the list of rich people.The founder and owner of Famfa Oil, fashion designer and philanthropist is worth roughly $600million. Her company owns a 60 per cent interest in OML 127, an offshore oil field that produces roughly 200,000 barrels of oil per day and is worth an estimated $6.44 billion.
Folorunsho is married and has four grown sons, as well as one grandchild. She owns at least $100 million in real estate and $46 million private jet.
She started out as a secretary in the mid 1970s at the now defunct International Merchant Bank of Nigeria. She later left for London to study fashion design. She later returned to Nigeria and launched her fashion line, Supreme Stitches, which caters to upscale, high-society women.
While she was building her name as a fashion designer, Alakija in 1993 applied for an Oil Prospecting License -- an expensive permit that allows for oil exploration in a specified area.
The Nigerian government granted her request and allocated a 617,000-acre block of land to Alakija for oil exploration -- but she knew nothing about finding and extracting oil.
So in September of 1996, she appointed Star Deep Water Petroleum Limited -- a subsidiary of Texaco -- to act as a technical adviser for her business.
In 2000, Star Deep Petroleum determined that Alakija's land contained an excess of one billion barrels of oil. When this was discovered, the Nigerian government tried to re-acquire half of the oil-rich block it had sold to Alakija.
The Nigerian government was successful and Alakija lost control of all but 10 percent of her oil company until 2012, when Nigeria's highest court reversed the government's actions.
With Alakija now back in control of 60 percent of the oil company, her net worth has shot up to $3.2 billion, an estimate that Ventures Africa calls extremely conservative.
Alakija's sons now run Famfa Oil and her husband, Modupe Alakija, is the chairman of the company.
She recently purchased a $102 million property at One Hyde Park in London, as well as a Bombardier Global Express 6000 jet, which she bought earlier this year for $46 million.
Her charity, Rose of Sharon Foundation, gives out small grants to widows and orphans.

Pamper your skin with honey
I have heard so much
about people spending thousands of Naira to buy different types of cream (concoctions?)
for face, neck and body all in a bid to look younger than their age. However,
some are doing it just to maintain their skin complexion.
I have tried my hands
on some of these things but, I can tell you, there is nothing like going
natural. After all, many of the beauty products also have traces of natural
ingredients in them.
I am going the honey
way, first. Honey has the ability to absorb and retain moisture. It has natural
antioxidant and anti microbial properties. Honey absorbs impurities from the
pores on the skin, making it an ideal cleansing agent.
Before you decide to
use honey on your skin, you must be sure it is pure and not adulterated honey. A
simple way of testing is to observe how liquid honey comes down into a glass of
water. Pure honey does not immediately dissolve in water; you will notice that
it takes a bit of effort to stir it in the water to dissolve the lumpy bits,
whereas adulterated one tends to dissolve easily as you drop them into the
water.
Here we go with some
DIY recipes to pamper your skin.
1. Cucumber-Honey Toner:
Puree 1 cucumber in a blender, drain
and collect the juice. Add 2 teaspoons of honey into the juice and mix. Pour
the mixture into a bottle. Apply on the face and neck area with a cotton pad in
the morning and at night. Air dry it and rinse clean. Store the bottle covered
in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
2. Honey-Apple Toner:
In a blender or food processor, combine
1 peeled, cored apple with a tablespoon of honey and pulse until smooth. Apply
mixture to face and allow it to stay for 15 minutes, then rinse.
3. Honey-Oats Face Scrub:
Combine 1 tablespoon honey, 1
tablespoon finely-ground almonds, 2 tablespoons dry oatmeal, and some lemon
juice or yogurt to a luxurious and exfoliating facial scrub. Massage mixture
gently onto face, then rinse with warm water. This blend gives a deeply
emollient cleansing to the pores of your face. Almonds and oats are superb
softening exfoliants.
4. Gentle Honey Cleanser:
Mix 1⁄4 cup honey, 1 tablespoon liquid
soap and 1⁄2 cup glycerin (found in drug stores). Apply gently on to face using
a face sponge. Rinse with warm water and pat face dry.
5. Hot Honey Bath:
Perhaps the easiest natural skin care
recipe using honey -- Add 1/4 cup of honey to your hot bath water for silky and
luscious skin. This is especially good for dry skin.

NIGERIANS, Please stop worshiping your pastors!!!
STUPIDITY is when you don’t have a bicycle and you give your last penny to your pastor to buy a jet…….
MUMU is when you can’t pay your children’s school fees and yet have money to contribute to your church to build expensive schools which your children will never attend..
IGNORANCE is when you believe it when your pastor tells you not to live a worldly life, yet he enjoys all the best things in the world;the fine houses, cars, jets, babes etc, while you
are waiting till you get to heaven to enjoy your own….
IDIOCY is when you refuse to take your very sick child to the hospital because your pastor said you should not do so, yet that same pastor secretly runs to USA for medical attention any time he has a headache…
KOLO is when you see a poor beggar on the road and you refuse to give him 50 naira out of the 5000 naira in your pocket bcos it is your tithe money….You
YOU are a zombie when you trek,dance and gallivant for 30 kilometers under the hot sun sweating and smelling like shit during your revival program, while your pastor is inside a full option, factory fitted air- conditioned state of the art SUV with his delectable wife slow driving along the road.
Stop worshiping your pastors!!! Stay focused on Jesus The author and finisher of your Faith.And learn to study the word.

Lagos police arrest suspected serial murderer, robber
The Lagos State Police Command has
apprehended Ibrahim Balogun, a 25-year-old man accused of perpetrating a
series of murders in Somolu, Bariga and Fadeyi in the state.
PUNCH Metro had reported on
June 25, 2012, that Balogun also known as Small Jpron, was declared
wanted following a gang-related violence between Shaggy Boys and
Downtown Boys which left at least five people dead in Ilaje, Bariga.
Balogun, who also goes by the pseudonym,
Asarailu, which means death in Arabic, is said to be the deputy gang
leader of Downtown Boys and a member of a sect, Eiye Confraternity also
known as EFCC Boys.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Balogun was arrested on Bawahala Street near Pedro Police Station on Saturday.
A reliable police source narrated the circumstances that led to Balogun’s arrest to our correspondent.
He said, “On Friday, around 11:30am,
Yusuf Adebowale, a resident of Somolu, took a commercial motorcycle to
FirstBank branch in Fadeyi to withdraw N100, 000. As he was withdrawing
the money from ATM, the okada rider, later identified as Dare, informed Balogun and his gang.
“As Adebowale left the bank, just a few
metres away, Balogun and three other gang members attacked him and
stole the money, phone and a wristwatch.
“Adebowale reported the matter at
Onipanu Police Station and also told youths in the area about his
ordeal. Less than an hour later, Dare, the okada rider, was apprehended by residents and taken to the police station where he confessed.
“Later that night, he led us to
Balogun’s hideout but Balogun was not around. One of the policemen,
identified as Abu, however released Dare without authorisation.”
Our correspondent learnt that the
following day, around 11:30am, Balogun and four others allegedly went to
rob residents of Bawahala Street and a woman alerted the police.
The police source said, “In broad
daylight, Balogun and four gang members, heavily armed, went to rob. We
received a distress call and policemen headed by Inspector Smart, rushed
down to the scene.
“The four others escaped but Balogun was
arrested and taken to Pedro Police Station where he identified himself
as Ibrahim Oriyomi Folarin.”
Our correspondent learnt that the
policemen could not identify Balogun even though the police had declared
him wanted. However, scores of residents stormed the police station and
quickly identified him.
It was learnt that there was pandemonium
at the station as residents who had fallen victims to Balogun and his
gang asked the police to hand him over.
Youths in the area were said to have brought a tyre and petrol which they threatened to set the suspect ablaze.
But the Special Anti-Robbery Squad took Balogun away and this restored normalcy to the station.
When contacted, the spokesperson for the
state police command, Ngozi Braide, confirmed the incident to our
correspondent on the telephone.
She said Balogun had been on police wanted list for a long time.
“I just spoke to the officer in charge
of SARS and he confirmed the incident to me. He said the suspect
(Balogun) is accused of murders, attempted murders and robberies,” she
said.

Report an 'agbero' Lastma official today!

| Batch 5 officers of Lastma and KAI during the induction of the batch's career evaluation training programme |
As far as I am concerned, Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (Lastma) is one project I will give Oga Fashola kudos for although I have knocks for his administration too! I said his administration not him personally o!
Although some Lastma officials were recruited after their performance in the parks as touts, Fashola took them to class to brush them up.
Although they were taken to class, some of them still FAIL out as they remain the same; tout.
Although some of them were given cameras to capture ofenders and scene of traffic offence, some of them still struggle with drivers (especially commercial vehicles) to collect ignition keys to drive the bus to wherever the settlement ground is.
Although Comrade Kayode Opeifa (when he was the special adviser on transportation) can defend these Lastma officials with anything unless you provide credible proof, they still mess up.
If any Lastma official is bent on being a tout, rude and unruly, stay calm (I know its not easy) and simply report them.
Use these numbers: 08077185769 or 08025238731.
