Talk to God before Going Into Any Business - Mrs Folorunsho Alakija


The richest Black Woman in the world, Mrs Folorunsho Alakija sat down with sun news and gave a detailed explanation about how her life took a positive turning point.
When at the age of seven my father sent me to England to study, I didn’t realize that was going to be a turning point, something that is going to affect my future. Something I would look back on and say my parents, even though they are late now at the age of 95 and 92 five years ago, they gave me something to stand on. They gave me something I could recall, something I can refer to, something that has opened my eyes, something that has made me a better person. I can say that, that was one of the turning points in my life.


She also advised people who want to go into business, the first thing to do is to pray and ask for God's direction.
I will tell them that before they go into any type of business they must pray, they must talk to God because they want to do it in their own way and ask God to come and put rubber stamp on it. It is wrong. You have to ask God where God is leading you, ask him where it is exactly, what is it exactly, how should I go about it. Even to the mun­dane things like the slogan for the company, I asked God and God gave me the picture, the images, and that is what we used for the company’s advertisement. God expects us to be passionate, he expects us to be hard­working and he expects us to represent him well, he expects us to do things according to his leading. Don’t say because Jane or Bisi or Ngozi is doing it, then you are going to do it. That place God called Ngozi may not be where he called you to. So you have to ask God.
