Popular Nigerian businesswoman and philanthropist, Folorunsho Alakija, has made a shocking return to social media, choosing to focus on empowerment rather than personal struggles.
AFRIPOST had earlier reported that the Executive Vice Chairman of Famfa Oil had allegedly lost her sight, with sources close to her medical team confirming concerns about her health.
It was speculated that her vision deterioration began following a distressing near-air mishap, which reportedly triggered further complications.
For weeks, Alakija’s absence from social media fueled speculation, leaving many worried about her well-being. Known for her strong commitment to spreading the gospel, her silence was unusual and deeply felt by her followers.
However, in celebration of International Women’s Day, Alakija broke her silence with an inspiring message. Instead of addressing the rumors, she encouraged women to embrace the #AccelerateAction theme and work towards breaking societal barriers.
“As we globally celebrate the strides achieved towards gender equity, it is evident that there is still so much more to do. Now, more than ever before is the time to move beyond words and to #AccelerateAction for women across the globe. It’s time to break many more glass ceilings, remove structural barriers, and ensure that opportunities are created for women where they don’t currently exist! Together, we can drive this change!”
