THE RICHEST BLACK WOMAN IN THE WORLD, FOLORUNSHO ALAKIJA COVERS THE LATEST ISSUE OF FORBES AFRICA WOMAN
"62-year-old Folorunsho Alakija, the oil baroness from Nigeria, became known as the richest black woman in the world. Alakija, however, is profoundly uncomfortable with the 'super-rich' tag. She believes that she is far more than just her fabulous wealth." Forbes wrote.

PHOTO: SEE WHAT A KID DID TO HIS MUM AFTER BENDTNER SCORED.
LoL! This kind of bet is funnier and better than putting up a whole house and having your family members thrown out. So this acidic Nicklas Bendtner hater promised “toothpasting” his mum’s eyebrows whilst she’s asleep if Bendtner scored twice during Arsenal’s clash against Hull. He actually posted that on twitter.
And guess what, the striker proved him wrong. Trust football fans (mostly Arsenal fans) to call him out. You could tell the pain in Mitch Gordon’s tweet. “A PICTURE WILL BE UP WHEN SHE IS SLEEPING OKAY ITS ONLY 8 GIVE ME CHANCE”. He wrote this after he posted the picture, “As promised, fuck you bendtner”.
Lmaooooo
I just hope the kid is hale and hearty.
Can’t imagine the look on his mum’s face when she checked the mirror this morning.

DONATION DRIVE: CHRISTMAS FOR 1,000 IN AJEGUNLE
“While we do our good works let us not forget that the real solution lies in a world in which charity will have become unnecessary.”- Chinua Achebe
In 2012, a group of 13 young folks came together and decided to make December special for others by birthing a charity project #ProjectDDD ((Donation Drive 4 December). Last year, they were able to reach out to two orphanages and one home for the elderly. They gathered clothes, food items, shoes and materials from donors for the less privileged. It was such joy putting smiles on the faces of the orphans.
This year, the plan is to reach out to the less privileged in Ajegunle, Lagos. They intend putting smiles on 1000 faces and they need support and help of kind hearted Nigerians to make it happen.
