- The name Folorunsho Alakija is certainly not strange to many Nigerians and most Africans. At the age of 70, she has achieved a feat that will always be the gold standard among women across the globe. The renowned oil, fashion, printing, and real estate mogul is the richest woman in Africa, boasting a net worth of 1 billion Naira as of 2020. Interestingly, Alakija is not only leading the pack in business but also in fashion. She is undoubtedly one of the most fashionable high society women in Nigeria who is also known for her impeccable style for hair extensions and jewellery.
Sadly, she can’t rock these things anymore, and many have been wondering why she appeared in her pictures plain with minimal makeup, zero gold jewellery, nail extension and hair wigs.
Well, Alakija finally opened up on why she stopped wearing gold and expensive jewellery in November of 2021, during the Amazing Grace Pentecostal Church 25th anniversary. She talked about how it was not her will but the will of God that she stopped wearing these worldly ornaments. And she got this conviction through a strange event that almost caused her to lose her earlobes. Apostle Alakija, as she is now known, has never hidden her relationship with God. However, these new revelations on how God forced her to stop wearing jewellery has got many curious about her walk with God and how it all started.

Different churches and different people's interpretations of God tend to be different. I believe what I want to believe. Religion has people ignorant sometimes and unrealistic about life. Preachers brainwash people with their beliefs and they all tell you different interpretations of the bible. After a while we change as we get older and wiser. People are moved by their egos. Some people eventually realize what is necessary and what is unnecessary. Our values also are responsible for our way of thinking. The only question I always ask is since some people know what God thinks or does not, have you ever met him personally so that is why you are so forceful with your beliefs. This lady has reached the top of the mountain and achieved her goals so she can now live a more peaceful life. There is nothing more to prove.
Hear, hear.
Thanks
Well God is not against jewelry, but if one's love for jewelry is more than the love for God, is possible for Him to stop the one. Remember God is a JEALOUS GOD. Is all about the state of the HEART, and one asking God to take her/his will.

Anything we love more that God is idol worshiping be it Jewelry or not.
In this case they lied to her.
They should have preached a simple message of don’t idolize anything no matter what.
Now she stopped and still didn’t understand why because she is idolizing the man of God.
You are absolutely correct! She has lived a full and prosperous life and now values the more simpler things and ways of life. The problem is that it seems she is preaching that others should follow, at least what I'm picking from this video. That is misleading. Nigerians are quite gullible and as long as you say the name of their revered higher power and its messenger(s), they lose their shit and obey without question, even at their detriment.
She made all these things her IDOLS and God said enough. It doesn't mean others can't wear jewelries or use ornaments but MODERATION IS KEY and your PERSONAL Conviction from God!
Exactly!👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👍👍👍
Then God would have told her to moderate, isn't it? All you have to do Is pray and ask God
Exodus 33:4-6 KJV
And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments. [5] For the Lord had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee. [6] And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
Jeremiah 4:22 KJV
For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Jeremiah 4:30 KJV
And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
Genesis 35:2,4-5 KJV
Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments: [4] And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem. [5] And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
Matthew 5:17-19 KJV
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. [18] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. [19] Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Correct
@@jesusholds These are personal judgement on the children of Israel when issues arose.
The Bible also spoke of the beauty of a woman decked in ornaments.
Take a look at these scriptures, they do not portray jewelries in negative light.
Ezekiel 16:11-12
I adorned you with ornaments, put bracelets on your hands and a necklace around your neck. I also put a ring in your nostril, earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.
Genesis 24:53
The servant brought out articles of silver and articles of gold, and garments, and gave them to Rebekah; he also gave precious things to her brother and to her mother.
Jeremiah 2:32
“Can a virgin forget her ornaments,
Or a bride her attire?
Yet My people have forgotten Me
Days without number
Exodus 3:22
But every woman shall ask of her neighbor and the woman who lives in her house, articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing; and you will put them on your sons and daughters. Thus you will plunder the Egyptians.”
Song of Solomon 1:10
“Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments,
Your neck with strings of beads.”
You see jewelries are not necessarily a bad thing. What counts is God's personal dealings with you, your convinctions.
The Bible is written to everyone so the jewelry issue applies to all of us. If you are sincere about knowing the truth then ask God. People don't like to hear certain things so they justify what they are doing by saying it only has to do with personal convictions.
She is an obedient child of GOD and she's a natural beauty. She look more beautiful and expensive without makeup. She looks very young and very beautiful for her age regardless the money. The Glory of God is glowing on her. NATURAL BEAUTY, STAR OF AFRICA.
God spoke to her personally for a reason, that doesn’t mean those wearing jewelry are disobedient to God or are not working for him. God walks and relates with us individually✌️
Exactly! I don’t wear extension or barely any jewelry but that does not mean everyone else shouldn’t.
The Bible says woman must dress in modest apparel, let it not be the outward adorning of planting the hair and of wearing of gold and or of putting on of apparel.
How she usually dresses it would draw attention to her and God don't want that. Sometimes those things become their idols/gods.
What is good for the goose is good for the gander. Repent and do what God says and stop defending Jezebel dressing of society that is defiant before God. Repentance is a must.
Lie lie rule 4 one is rule for all...
My sister woke up!!!!! Every woman on earth must stop jewellery, earrings, chains wigs, makeup. Before you can make it to heaven. Is the ultimate truth for every believer who have a personal relationship with God
"...Sadly, she can't rocky these things anymore..."
Please what is SADLY about this change? What is wrong with writers of such articles? Why is it SAD that a woman changes her mind about wigs and artificial beauty additions? This is already how we enriched the Korean and Chinese Beauty Industries especially while they don't purchase anything from Nigerians or Africans!
She's tired of all and old age has set in . She need her peace of mind to enjoy the remaining part of her life. Good luck Sister.
I like how you talk about the Koreans and Chinese. Yes, they have all the concessions and are getting rich off of us. I would like to know how many black people have an oriental friend or have ever been invited to their house as a guest.
The same black people screaming black lives matter are not even proud being black. They ve changed their looks 2 that of a white woman, wearing white woman's hair and blenched their skin 2 look white and are busying carrying placards of BLM. Can a white woman spend her dollars buying African hair??? It is d blacks that has made them 2 look superior by changing their natural identities 2 that of a white woman. But our African men are still upholding their nature and we still love them like that, even the white women are running after our black men now. DEAR BLACK WOMEN, YOU DO NOT NEED ANYTHING EXTRA, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL THE WAY YOU ARE. Embrace urself and love urself. All these worldly things keep changing, are u a chameleon 2 keep changing with them in d name of fashion???? The fashion of 2day that u are dying 2 follow will be outdated tomorrow, why not stick 2 ur own nature & be proud
The “sadly” part 😂😂😅🤣
Praise the Lord
She met God spiritually
I understand her
People connected to God spiritually will understand
Ma’am you look prettier now. All glory belong to God. May God continue to bless you for your obedience.
When God wants it, HE takes it. He will reveal it to you in clear terms. Keep walking with God , you will understand it. Christianity is a private walk with God, HE seals everyone's instructions.
Yes she look more beautiful without it 👏
Oo yes it's God that ministered to her, I believed it because this happened to me also far back in 1998., during my third son naming ceremony. It's God Almighty that revealed it. Its unquestionable God. Amen. 🙏
She would forever be an icon. A woman of influence, beauty and Faith. She is a full 10/10. More grace ma'am.
This is just a complete obedience to God. May the Lord help her and keep her in this convincion in Jesus mighty name Aaaaaaaameeeeeen!
It's not the jewelry that made her beautiful! She's gorgeous! If you're going to belong to and work for God, you can not look like the world. The world and those who love it are enemies of God . She made the right choice in obeying such conviction.
Congratulations Ma. Sis F. Alakija has always been an elegant and iconic lady of all time. She has been a good role model for women who want to come to terms with their business, and personal growth and now it pleases God to make her even more vibrant than ever before. I am so Happy for her, and now looking at this new Rose of Sharon sister ,there is no doubt that , in this new light she will teach women to see and live their true beauties. God bless Your new Life Ma. Amen.
I real believe that God tell this sis not to wear jewellery because God does want his children to looks like the world, I will say to this sister congratulations and I will see her in heaven amen
YOU DONT NEED TO LOOK RICH WHEN YOU ALREADY ARE AS A CHILD OF GOD . OBEDIENCE IS THE KEY TO PLEASE HIM AS THE MATER .
She's tired of all . After 70 years what else? She needs her peace of mind to enjoy the remaining part of her life. This is another chapter. Good luck Sister. I am happy for you
Ir happened to lote of people all ages.
All the adornment can become a burden. I bet she feels unchained.
Same happened to me. I stopped everything. I don’t wear hair extensions, sold all my jewelries. I don’t wear slippers in my house. God is faithful. I was pushed from the bed, lay prostrate on the floor to change from the spin-off stubbornness.
Why no slippers in the house?
POWERFUL! THANKS FOR SHARING OUR GOD IS REAL. GOD BLESS YOU.
May the power of God continue to radiate over you ma
Not one billion naira. She is worth one billion Dollars. Which is 330 billion naira. Big sis has BANK. Kudos
I'm just going through with what she experienced, since the last two months each time l wear my expensive gold earrings l have sore and I checked and it looks as if it want to cut the ear to divide. I now go comfortably without.
wow..........Praise the good Lord who has mercy on us. Just like me, God instructed me not to wear all these jewelries and wigs again even false nails. Thank God for your life ma.
She's still beautiful without makeup; the glory of God!
I love her .very humble. So is Aunty Aba Akinsanya.
Wow God be praise,those things she idolised God took them away from her,whom God chooses he remold.
GOD IS GOD. I love this story.
Whatever becomes your god, you will have to drop when you become a true child of God. I am over 50 and still wear jewellery because I can do without it. Some people can't do without it and they have turned these things to their god, God does not want us to worship anything apart from him. Some worship their husband, children, business and other things. The bible says you shall have no other god besides me. God bless Mummy Alakija.
Madam please kindly repent and throw/put those things inside. God has revealed to so many women that he doesn’t want it. Yet many like yourself produce excuses. Walk with God in fear and trembling.
I thoroughly enjoyed hearing her story! A lot of times, after God blesses us, we usually forget to hold up our own side of the bargain. I respect this woman, not only for her humility, but for her obedience. Salvation is a personal journey...and we must know and experience God for our own self.
Almighty God encounters and commands each one of us in special and different ways. God will remove every demigod in your life for you to pay attention to His will. AMEN.
One thing ladies should understand is that if God frowns at something and personally encountered a man or woman to further establish His mind about it,it showed such an individual is chosen of God.As a matter of fact,the entire human race will appear before God in our spiritual bodies not the mortal flesh.And of the works in the flesh will be judged in Spirit,we all have every reason to ensure that we appear before him as we've been created naturally .Secondly,God considers all the jewelries as belonging to the things of the World.God decided to stop further journey with Israelites becos of adornments until Moses intervened in Exodus 33 vs 1-6.God himself was distraught becos of the danger ornament seek to create while walking with God.Most people that use Ornaments hardly ever do without them.Jeremiah 4:30 expressly abhors the use of Make Ups and Ornaments.
If you are truly a child of God,I would advise that we seek His face as touching some of these things that appear questionable, so that at the last day,,we could stand boldly before Him in love.
What God cannot do, does not exist.
HALLELUYAH AMEN
What mere men think is irrelevant. God is king and his word is unopposed. God bless you Alakija for heeding the Voice of God.❤️
To GOD be the Glory for His lovingkindness and tender mercies towards this noble woman in JESUS’ Mighty Name. Amen 🙏
To God all be the Glory Halleluya
That was definitely God. I had a tough time putting those things away after receiving warnings from God. Finally! About 5years ago, I was able to give up everything for His Glory. She is very blessed to give up worldliness because she will inherit God’s kingdom. Not everyone that says Lord, Lord shall inherit the Kingdom of God, but those that obey His Word, so I’m so happy for her!!!
KUDOS to her! Nothing more beautiful than a woman without all that caked-on makeup. I mean LOOK AT HER! She is 70!
The deeper you get with God, the less your desires about the world grows she head from God. And that must not stop woman from dressing one of my sister started this way and now she looks old, and many other things about her is no more pleasing
She looks even more beautiful and adorable now without the attachments, enhancements and additions👌🏽💖🌹🥀🌺🌻
Lets hear about her social programs for the disadvantaged. That would be more interesting and encourage others to do the same.
she is most beautiful without the worldly ornaments bless God
Indeed mumy Alakija is truly one of God's voice to our generation that have encounter God by mercy.
I also had similar experience and I thank God I finally obeyed and discarded every artificial things, both makeup and jeweleries I threw them away. And today I am happy, peaceful and glad that such things do not ve any place or control over my life. What u can not do without bcoms an idol 2 u. And nothing on n earth should ve such power over u. Remember ur body is d temple of God, keep it holy and remove anything that defiles it. If God tells u He's coming 2 visit ur home, I am sure u will make it sparkling clean, so do same 2 ur body which is God's temple.
What ever God tells you to do do it.
Mama Alakija you are a star look after the poor people
She is more beautiful in her natural state rather than with the use of artificial / painting. Call a spade, a spade, she does not need make to be beautiful. In addition, her obedience proves she loves God, and unknown to her, this as added dignity and honour to her honor!
This indeed is divine visitation. Thanks for obying the holy spirit
I believe God spoke to her. God doesn't want us to wear ornaments, this worldly silver and gold are cursed by God. I love what she did, God bless her
It’s not cursed by God, God does not curse what he made.it is only when it becomes a god to you just like so many other things that competes with God in people’s life.
She did it because she loves God.
YES AMEN, THAT WAS DEFINITELY A WORD AND VISITATION FROM GOD.
The richer you get, the less you care about material commodities.
That’s not the case, when you’re specifically given an instruction.
Praise God for her obedience.
What documentary is this, not even one word from her?
I prefer her to be traditionally fashionable with her gele headwraps. Thats how I love to see our Nigerian women because its the symbol of Nigerian beauty and traditional fashion
I loved the idea of the conversion
God has a calling on her life. I myself stoppe the makeup,jewerly,hair extension,and pants... Very good for her.
Hallelujah! The Spirit is moving!🙏🙏🙏
All I can say is this, just like when Mary told the disciples, that whatever he tells you to do do. John 2:5. All you need to do is to be sure. Your maker is your manufacturer, he knows everything you don't know about yourself. He knew you even before you were formed in your mother's womb. It does not matter how others view you. Obey your maker. Jesus Christ came to the world to teach us obedience. Disobedience has consequences. If you still don't know God, draw near to Hom through Jesus and you will be so suprised that you who couldn't even differentiate His voice from yours and that of the enemy can now understand Him clearly.
Amazing
Im so glad for u dear,I would love to work with u b/c this is my conviction.God bless u.
I just found out that i'm 32% Nigerian The clothes, hair were only beauty enhancers. She is still beautiful without the hair, jewelry and beauty products. May God continue to bless her and her ministry. Maybe her parishioners stumbled because of her opulence. Thank you sister for your sacrifice. Maybe one day all women will have sufficient money to help others and all can where the beautiful adornments and not be envious of others. Since God says woman should cover their hair, is it extremely costly for the different head dresses she use to wear? With those beautiful headdresses I think a lot of woman would definitely prefer to wear them instead of weaves and wigs. Instead of real gold, pearls and such can she make artifical, less expensive replicas that are of good quality affordable for all? God created everything we have on this planet. So God intended for us to have them as long as we do not worship them. Again, I do wish that all women feel beautiful and have enough money to live in a nice home and have abundance for their families. We come from Queens and Kings afterall. Here in American they tell us that black people are less than nor equal to whites. Our people need to feel beautiful and develop their self esteem. Maybe what is considered expensive there for her type of clothing would be comparable to what we spend on clothing here in America. This might be a way to employ black people here who could make the clothing here in America. Or maybe you could teach your parishioners how to make the clothing then ship to America so that a new industry could be created that would be mutually beneficial for both countries. Our black people spend a lot of money on wigs, hair care products and the Asian population controls that industry. So why should be have to continue to make them wealthy when we could keep our money within the black community. I hope some one reads my comments and reach out to me to discuss this. My email is
kcmpch4@gmail.com. thank you.
She didnot go about telling people not to wear this or that, is her own personal thin with God, it could be a way to humble her sinçe she hav it all, God do things for the sake of others
Repent and stop making all kinds of excuses. God deals with the heart. Whether you are poor or rich is irrelevant. Honor God by repenting daily.
God doesn’t have issues with jewelry and adornments...He only has issues with anything you start to exult or make a God above Him. He’s clear on that position!
When God speaks you better listen!! And she did🙏🏽👍🏽
Thank you woman after GODS HEART for consistently constantly continually being a leader with GODS opinion and example of true real lasting beauty forever more.
Once again I say thank you.
There is time for everything. It means she has really settled to reality of her service to God and humanity And for that vanity things need to go for proper encounter with the things of spirit which God is. In short no more distraction.
God be Praised for never abandoning us when we stray, but with His Loving kindness and Mercy draws us back to Himself.
Thank You Ma for heeding/obeying God amidst Plenty; I can't imagine how tough that Decision is. May God help You and every of His own to heed Promptly to Him. IN JESUS CHRIST NAME. AMEN!
I believe that the most High didn’t want us to be superficial. And that her personal relational was at the point where this took away grim her true destiny.
I think all of us can take a lead from this.. what are we willing to give up to go to the next level!!! For our destiny!!!! She is beautiful and I see nothing taken away.. only greater blessing and power because she was obedient 🙏🏾✨
Thanks
I get it sister, I too the Lord convicted on this and discarded all of it.
HAAAAAAALLLLLLEEEEEEEELUUUUUUYYYYYYYAAAAAAHHHH- GOD BLESS THE WOMAN OF GOD.
Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised. PROVERBS 31:30
Did he say 1billion Niara. It's supposed to be 1billion dollars
It gets like that. 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Don't care about all that, glad she accepted Jesus as her saviour.
God is good
Hmm almost like my experience, I had I stop everything.. d only difference is that I'm not a billionaire yet.
God Loves her ...God wants her to be an Heaven Candidate.... what she Did isn't easy at all....hmm...God helped her.. these are prayers we should pray that God should Take away anything that would hinder one from Making heaven....May God Help us
This woman is my role model
Vanity all Vanity thank God she heard from God.She made all these things her idols and God said enough
Christianity is personal.
I think you made a mistake. You said she's worth 1bn Naira. Might wanna correct that
She is still going through her Consciousness ❤️...I pray she continues her path towards enlightenment.
Big BLUNDER!!! A net worth of 1 Billion 'Naira' is nothing. She is worth $1 Billion! Nice overall remaining info. though👍
Without jewelry she is beautiful.
It can only be God
She is still beautiful without the adornment. To obey is better than sacrifice.
Blessed Be God Forever.
Hmmm!, God have mercy!
She must ve worshiped her jewelry and forgot thanking God for wat he has done for her🇺🇬🔥❤️
Wear them to impress who ?
Well, she is a beautiful woman for 70 years and I under that because she said herself that it was something she loved. I wear small earring and little gold, but these things I do not love.
The bible make us to Know that Abraham was very rich in cattles, silver, and gold.(Genesis 13:2). (Job 22:24) Then shall thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of brooks. God was instructing his people to do away from sin and turn to him, in the same (Job22:23) then they will have these things. If gold, and silver is sin then money is also sin, for without money how can you acquire gold and silver.
Its simple there is NO jewelries, NO makeup ,NO high heels , NO perfumes, NO long pants ,shorts revealing clothes , tight clothing ,etc in his KINGDOM......
1 Peter 1.16 says Because it is written
Be Ye HOLY for l am HOLY!
She is outstanding
Please All These Nigeria Oil Mugg Should Do Something About Cleaning Niger Delta Environment.
Keep shouting on social media..
By the way, is Delta a name of a place or an ethnicity?
When your forefathers chosed to be slave and you are perpetuating the legacy
It's because God saw that she was idolizing those things that's why God probably told her to drop them, God must be God in our lives, we can't replace him
She is sofisticated still.
To each one his or her own
Nice
But whitnening the skin is pleasant to God?
Just wondering
She is naturally fair!
