Nigerian billionaire businesswoman Folorunsho Alakija has reportedly lost her sight entirely. According to Sahara Reporters, Alakija’s vision deteriorated after a near air mishap while traveling with her husband, which triggered a severe spike in her blood pressure, affecting her eyes.
Despite her efforts to address the issue, including ordering a new jet, Alakija’s eyesight continued to worsen until she became blind. Sources close to the matter attributed her condition to her decision to focus on her church, Rose of Sharon Glorious Ministry International, rather than seeking medical treatment.Alakija, 73, is renowned for her business success and philanthropic efforts, with a Forbes-estimated net worth of about $1 billion.
She is recognized as one of Africa’s richest and most influential women, and her story serves as a reminder that even the most accomplished individuals can face unexpected personal challenges.
