Folorunsho Alakija Breaks Silence Amid Health Speculations

Nigerian billionaire businesswoman and philanthropist, Chief Folorunsho Alakija, has returned to social media, dispelling speculations about her health with a powerful message of resilience and celebration.

Reports had earlier suggested that Folorunsho Alakija, the Executive Vice Chairman of Famfa Oil had allegedly lost her sight following a near-air mishap that reportedly triggered complications with her vision. Her prolonged absence from social media fueled concerns, especially given her consistent engagement in spreading the gospel and advocating for social causes.

However, on March 8, International Women’s Day, Alakija broke her silence—not with a statement on her health, but with a bold call for women to break barriers and push for gender equity. In a post shared on her platform, she emphasized the need for action beyond words, urging women to seize opportunities and drive change.

“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 #accelerate action for women across the globe,” she wrote.

Her post quickly drew attention, with followers flooding the comment section with messages of support, some expressing relief over her return, while others wished her well and inquired about her health.

Despite the lingering concerns over her condition, Alakija’s unwavering message of empowerment resonated deeply, reinforcing her image as a woman of strength and purpose.
