Renowned Nigerian billionaire businesswoman, Folorunsho Alakija, has reportedly lost her sight and is currently undergoing medical treatment to restore her vision. According to multiple reports, the oil magnate and philanthropist experienced a health crisis following a near air mishap that left her deeply unsettled.
Folorunsho Alakija, widely regarded as Nigeria’s richest woman, was said to have suffered a sudden spike in blood pressure during the terrifying incident, which ultimately affected her eyesight. Sources claim that despite efforts to manage her condition, she eventually lost her ability to see after the traumatic event.
Reports from SaharaReporters indicate that the billionaire businesswoman was traveling alongside her husband, Modupe Alakija, the Chairman of Famfa Oil, when the near air mishap occurred. The incident was severe enough to cause panic, leading to a dramatic rise in her blood pressure. Despite changing her flight in an attempt to avoid further distress, reports state that she still suffered a significant health setback that resulted in blindness.
An anonymous source, as quoted by SaharaReporters, provided further insight into the situation, explaining that Alakija had been experiencing eyesight issues before the incident. However, rather than seeking immediate medical intervention, she reportedly chose to focus on her religious commitments by establishing a church. Unfortunately, her condition appears to have worsened over time, ultimately leading to a complete loss of vision.
One of the sources reportedly stated:
“She had a near air mishap with her husband on board, and her blood pressure reportedly shot up, affecting her eyes. She has been having eyesight issues, but instead of treating the illness, she chose to start a church to help her. Now she can’t see.”
As news of her condition spreads, there has been an outpouring of concern from both business associates and members of the public. Many have taken to social media to express their well-wishes and prayers for her recovery, while others have debated the potential impact of the incident on her business empire and philanthropic activities.
Folorunsho Alakija, known for her remarkable success in the oil, fashion, and real estate industries, has remained an influential figure in Nigeria’s business landscape for decades. She is also deeply involved in religious and charitable causes, making significant contributions to various humanitarian projects.
As of now, her family and business representatives have yet to issue an official statement confirming or denying the reports regarding her health status. However, sources suggest that medical specialists are working tirelessly to help her regain her sight.
The story continues to develop, and many are eagerly awaiting further updates on her condition and possible treatment options.
