God stopped me from wearing jewellery- Africa’s richest woman, Folorunso Alakija

Nigerian born Africa’s richest woman, Folorunso Alakija, says she surrendered her addiction to jewellery when she was visited with affliction.

While ministering in a Lagos church on Sunday, the Rose of Sharon Group managing director disclosed that it took her ten days of intense prayer and divine encounter to overcome the bleeding challenge that came with the affliction.

The billionaire narrated that until the life-changing encounter, she used to wear various types of jewellery that matched different outfits.

She said; “I used to love jewellery. I had all kinds and the jewellery had to match every cloth I wore. In those days I used to tell God not to take jewellery from me.

“If anybody had come to me and told me not to wear jewellery, I would not have listened to the person.

“I would have wondered where that person is coming from. But by the time God started dealing with me on it, I had no option but to do away with it.

Alakija, said it all started when she began bleeding from her ear lobes one night.
“That night I just suddenly found I was bleeding from my ear lobe. I did not sleep with earrings that night so I wondered what could have caused the bleeding.

“My ear lobe became sticky. When soap touched it while I was having my bath, it was hurting.

She stated before the ‘bleeding’ experience that her younger sister reached out and said she dreamt that her earlobe had cut.

“That dream was almost becoming a reality. At a particular time when we were praying, a nephew of mine asked if I put lipstick on my earlobe because it had become red.

“The experience was not funny. But to cut a long story short, it took ten days for God to deal with me.

“Finally, I gave it up. Now I am free,” she said.
