'I never went to university' - billionaire Folorunsho Alakija admits

One of Africa's richest women and chairman of Famfa Oil, Mrs Folorunsho Alakija yesterday August 27th revealed that she never went to a university, saying one does not need a university education to make it in life. Mrs Alakija said this while speaking with students of the University of Lagos during the 2014 UN International Youths Day in Lagos.

"I come from Ikorodu, Lagos state. I am married to a dashing young lawyer of 70 years of age and we have four grown up gentlemen and grandchildren. It has not been a rag to riches fairytale. It has not been an overnight phenomenon like some cases which you find here and there all over the world. For as long as I can remember, I had always wanted my own business. Hard work...am trying to tell you how I got to where I am if you want those billions. Hard work, diligence, persistence...days where you nearly gave up but I chose not to give up." Continue...

It would have been easy to compromise but I chose not to and I stayed focus. I could have stayed a secretary as my father desired according to his plan for me but I had bigger aspirations. I dreamt big. God strengthened me and gave me wisdom. I had a passion and burning desire to succeed. Being a secretary, a banker, a fashion icon, a cooperate promoter and printer, a real estate owner, an oil magnate, that I can assure you was no easy feat. Firm belief that what is worth doing is what doing well or not doing at all. I took charge of my life with the tools I have shared with you. I chose to become born again at the age of 40. I chose to make a covenant with God that if he would bless me I would work for him all the days of my life. I chose to hold on to the cross and look up to him every step of the way. Today additional accomplishment includes a wife of almost 40 years, a mother, grandmother, ministry, counseling, outreach, NGO Rose of Sharon Foundation for widows and Author, writer, author of several inspirational books. All I say to the glory of God. So I am 63 and I am not yet done. So what is your excuse? I never went to a University and I am proud to say so because I don't think I have done too badly. You do not have to have a University education to be able to make it so count yourselves privileged to have that

Nigerians Furious Over MasterCard’s Logo On National ID Cards

The yesterday’s launch of  the new Nigerian  National Identity Cards containing  the branded logo of the American firm MasterCard ignited hot discussions and rage with people across the country demanding for cards withdrawal.

Goodluck Jonathan launches the National ID Card, August 28

On Thursday, August 29, President Goodluck Jonathan received his eID card, similar ones that will be issued to more than 13 million Nigerians and after the completion of the pilot program – to more than 100 million.

However the country citizens got infuriated over the fact that the Nigerian authorities, through the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), not only provided biometrics of 170 million Nigerians to a foreign commercial company but also allowed them to stamp its insignia, the MasterCard symbol on the cards, which are supposed to be a symbol of national sovereignty and pride.

Suspected Ebola Victim Escapes From Port Harcourt

Information coming in from Port Harcourt, Rivers State indicate that a sister of the medical doctor, Iyke Enemuo, who recently died from the Ebola virus fled to Abia State to avoid being quarantined along with others who came into contact with the late doctor.

 

Sahara Reporters however reports that a sibling of the suspected Ebola victim, who is also a doctor, forced her to return to the quarantine center in Port Harcourt.

It was gathered that the woman helped to care for her late doctor brother when he contracted the dreaded Ebola virus disease.

Earlier reports had informed that about 160 people who came in contact with the late Dr. Enemuo, who died last Friday in Port Harcourt, have been placed in quarantine for medical watch.

According to Nigerian Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu, the deceased had contracted the virus when he was secretly treating a staff of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) who, in turn, had had contact with Patrick Sawyer, a Liberian-American who initially brought the disease into Nigeria.

It would be recalled that Sawyer had slumped at the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos shortly after arriving there on 20 July, 2014. 

Reports stated that the Liberian diplomat was rushed to a Lagos Hospital where he died from the Ebola virus on 25 August, 2014. 

A doctor, Ameyo Stella Adadevoh, and two nurses who helped care for Sawyer in a hospital in Lagos have also died from the disease.

Mourinho Criticises Champions League Draws

Less than 24 hours after UEFA conducted the draws for the group stage of this year’s Champions League, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has criticised  the system used by UEFA to determine the seedings.

It would be recalled that the draw for the group stage of Europe’s elite club competition was made on Thursday, 28 August, 2014 with questions raised about the way the make-up of each group is influenced by dividing the 32 teams into four pots beforehand based on their previous European performances.

But Mourinho, whose side were drawn with Sporting Lisbon, Schalke and Maribor, doesn’t believe clubs who haven’t won a league title in years should be ranked higher than reigning domestic champions.

Arsenal, for example, were one of the top seeds despite having not won the Premier League in a decade and finishing fourth last season, whereas title-winners like Paris St Germain, Juventus and Manchester City were ranked lower.

Chelsea’s Jose Mourinho

There was also complaints over Portuguese club Benfica, Europa League runners-up in 2013 and 2014, inclusion in the first pot of seeds despite a mediocre Champions League record in recent years.

“Maybe what they have to look at is the criteria to qualify teams for different pots,” Mourinho said on Friday.

“I know Roma, for example, have not played in Europe for a few years, but they are runners-up in Italy so to be in the fourth pot is hard.

“On the other hand, teams that don’t win titles for a long, long time, they are in the first, second and third seeds.

“Also, I think it’s not fair that the points you make in the Europa League help you make a coefficient for the Champions League.

“You go in the Europa League, you win more matches, you make more points and then become protected by these points.

“It gives you a bigger coefficient in the Champions League. That criteria is strange but the fact that you play against team, that’s just occasional. That’s just about the draw.”

Real Madrid are the holders of the Champions League after the Spanish giants triumphed over Atletico Madrid in May.

GOOD NEWS: Ebola Drug Passes Early Test

After all the bad news that have been going round over the outbreak of the Ebola virus in West African countries, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia, a piece of good news finally arrived yesterday.

Reporting online in the British journal Nature, researchers at the Public Health Agency of Canada announced that a prototype drug, ZMapp, that has been urgently given to a handful of patients with Ebola has cleared an important test hurdle.

According to the scientists report, the drug test results showed that ZMapp cured lab monkeys that have been infected with the Ebola virus disease.

It was gathered that it is a norm to experiment drugs on animals first and then on progressively larger groups of humans to ensure they are safe and effective.

But, in an exceptional move, ZMapp that has not gone through these tests has been rushed to the outbreak in West Africa, as the lethal disease has no cure.



According to the Canadian researchers, 18 rhesus macaque monkeys given high doses of Ebola virus fully recovered after being given ZMapp, even when it was administered five days after infection.
