Nigerian billionaire businesswoman and philanthropist, Mrs. Folorunso Alakija has opened up on how God stopped her from wearing jewellery under ten days.
The Founder of Rose of Sharon Group made this disclosure while ministering in Lagos at the Amazing Grace Pentecostal Church’s 25th anniversary.
Alakija recounting on how she stopped the use of jewellery stated that the turning point was when she began to bleed from her ear lobe.
Speaking further she said that it took ten days for God to stop her from using jewellery.
In her words:“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,” she said.
The clergywoman, who is one of the richest women in Africa, said she changed her mind when she started bleeding from her ear lobe while she was sleeping.
“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 said.
The 70-year-old philanthropist has business interests in different fields such as oil and gas and Fashion.
