It took 10 days for God to stop me from using Jewelry- Alakija
Nigerian billionaire businesswoman, Folorunso Alakija it took 10 days for God to stop her from using jewelry.
The Founder of Rose of Sharon Group, Lagos stated this Sunday, November 28 while ministering at the Amazing Grace Pentecostal Church’s 25th anniversary, Church Times reports.
Alakija told the congregation that it took 10 days for God to stop her from using jewelry.
“I used to love jewelry. I had all kinds and the jewelry had to match every cloth I wore. In those days I used to tell God not to take jewelry from me. If anybody had come to me and told me not to wear jewelry, 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,” the 70-year-old said.
The clergywoman, who is one of the richest women in Africa, said the turning point began 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 Nigerian billionaire has business interests in different fields such as oil and gas and fashion.
