[lboogie1906]

Folorunso Alakija (July 15, 1951) is a Nigerian businesswoman who is involved in various industries such as fashion, oil, and printing. She is known for being one of the richest Black women in the world.

She was born in Ikorodu, Lagos State. She was from a sizable family due to her father, Chief L.A. Ogbara, having been married eight times and fathering 52 children. Alakija was his second surviving child and her mother, a fabric merchant, was his first wife. At the age of seven, she and her younger sister Doyin were sent to study abroad at Dinorben School for Girls in Northern Wales. The pair of sisters attended the school for four years before they returned to Nigeria at the request of their parents, who did not want the girls’ African values, traditions, and culture to be lost. She continued her studies at Muslim High School in Sagamu, Ogun State, Nigeria. She ventured abroad again, this time to Pitman’s Central College in London to pursue an education in secretarial studies.

She began working in Lagos as an executive secretary and worked at FinBank for several years. She studied fashion design in the UK for one year. She established Supreme Stitches, her fashion house, in a three-bedroom apartment in Surulere, Lagos. She was one of the best designers in the country and became recognized for endorsing Nigerian culture through her works and clothing.

She expanded her business interests and applied for the allocation of an oil prospecting license in May 1993. Her company, Famfa Limited, was granted the license to explore for oil on a 617,000-acre block, known as OPL 216. She entered into a joint venture agreement with Star Deep Water Petroleum, a subsidiary of Texaco, and appointed the company as a technical advisor for the exploration of the license. Some 40 percent of her 100 percent stake was transferred to Star Deep.

She married Modupe Alakija (1976), a lawyer and the couple raised four boys together. She is known for her philanthropic work through the Rose of Sharon Foundation. She was appointed as the vice chairman of the Nigerian National Heritage Council and Endowment for the Arts. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Read-Alike Friday: The History of a Difficult Child by Mihret Sibhat

The History of a Difficult Child by Mihret Sibhat

Wisecracking, inquisitive, and bombastic, Selam Asmelash is the youngest child in her large, boisterous family. Even before she is born, she has a wry, bewitching omniscience that animates life in her Small Town in southwestern Ethiopia in the 1980s. Selam and her father listen to the radio in secret as the socialist military junta that recently overthrew the government seizes properties and wages civil war in the North. The Asmelashes, once an enterprising, land-owning family, are ostracized under the new regime. In the Small Town where they live, nosy women convene around coffee ceremonies multiple times a day, the gossip spreading like wildfire.

As Selam’s mother, the powerful and relentlessly dignified Degitu, grows ill, she embraces a persecuted, Pentecostal God and insists her family convert alongside her. The Asmelashes stand solidly in opposition to the times, and Selam grows up seeking revenge on despotic comrades, neighborhood bullies, and a ruthless God. Wise beyond her years yet thoroughly naive, she contends with an inner fury, a profound sadness, and a throbbing, unstoppable pursuit of education, freedom, and love.

Patience is a Subtle Thief by Abi Ishola-Ayodeji

For as long as she can remember, Patience Adewale, the eldest daughter of Chief Kolade Adewale, has been waiting for confirmation that she is loved, that there is a place where she truly belongs. Patience lives a sheltered life within the secure walls of the family's mansion in Ibadan, but finds no comfort from her distant father and stepmother Modupe. Her only ally is her younger sister, yet even Margaret's love and support cannot overcome Patience's insecurity and uncertainty.

More than anything, Patience wants to know why her father and uncle banished her mother from their compound years ago--and whether her mother is even alive. Determined to discover the truth, Patience embarks on a desperate search to find her mother. Answers begin to surface when she moves to Lagos for university and unexpectedly reconnects with her cousin Kash.

Kash and his friend Emeka are petty thieves with an opportunity to make a big score. To pull it off they need help--and enlist Patience and Emeka's straight-arrow brother, Chike, to become partners in their scheme. The thieves' plan is to quit after this job. But unforeseen events lead to unexpected consequences--and demand a price from Patience that may be too steep to pay.

The Five Sorrowful Mysteries of Andy Africa by Stephen Buoro

Andrew Aziza is a fifteen-year-old boy living in Kontagora in Northern Nigeria. He lives with his secretive mother, Gloria, and spends his days about town with his droogs, Slim and Morocca. He's contemplating the larger questions with his teacher Zahrah and his equally brilliant friend Fatima, a Hausa-Fulani girl who clearly has feelings for him. Together they discuss mathematical theorems, Black power, and what Andy has deemed the curse of Africa.

Inevitably, Andy falls hopelessly in love with the first white girl he lays eyes on: Eileen, Father McMahon's niece. But at the church party held to celebrate her arrival, multiple crises loom. The first is that an unfamiliar man there claims to be Andy's father. The second is that an anti-Christian mob has gathered, headed for the church. In the ensuing havoc and its aftermath, Andy is forced to reckon with his identity and desires and determine how to live on the so-called Cursed Continent.

Exit West by Mohsin Hamid

In a country teetering on the brink of civil war, two young people meet—sensual, fiercely independent Nadia and gentle, restrained Saeed. They embark on a furtive love affair and are soon cloistered in a premature intimacy by the unrest roiling their city. When it explodes, turning familiar streets into a patchwork of checkpoints and bomb blasts, they begin to hear whispers about doors—doors that can whisk people far away, if perilously and for a price. As the violence escalates, Nadia and Saeed decide that they no longer have a choice. Leaving their homeland and their old lives behind, they find a door and step through.

Exit West follows these characters as they emerge into an alien and uncertain future, struggling to hold on to each other, to their past, to the very sense of who they are. Profoundly intimate and powerfully inventive, it tells an unforgettable story of love, loyalty, and courage that is both completely of our time and for all time.

Stereotypes Harm Black Lives and Livelihoods, but Research Suggests Ways to Improve Things | Scientific American

Throughout history dating back to when the Christian Colonizers became in contact with other humans outside of their arena the lies and dehumanizing stereotypes began to spread just to make people feel good about themselves while raping and murdering innocent people who didn't do anything but to be kind to the people who invaded our lives.

The disheartening truth about colonization is that it destroyed innocent people and their precious history of being humans. We are still dealing with the same harmful and degrading ideologies that wiped out a lot of our Beautiful Black Indigenous People globally.

No one wants to talk about it because the colonizers don't want to hear it; but yet we have to live with their gloating as if our lives don't matter. This is absolute cruelty to say the very least. Marginalization isn't good for anyone who has to deal with feeling hopeless at the expense of someone who sees nothing wrong because they believe that they did you some type of good service.

How sick can anyone be to even think such a thing when we are still living under the control of colonizers. I wonder if they had suffered the same circumstances and said we did them a good service, if so? I wouldn't be writing this post.

The murderer will always make the victim out to be the bad person while the murderer justifies the claim for taking an innocent life. We live in a very sick world because these colonizers are intoxicated within their madness. Nothing will improve until the victims of colonization stand together and confront the colonizers because only then will they see the error of their ways.
