Folorunso Alakija vs Lenin Moreno

Folorunso Alakija founded Famfa Oil Limited, which later acquired an oil prospecting license (OPL 216) in Nigeria's deep offshore. The company became one of the largest indigenous oil producers in Nigeria.

Alakija founded the Rose of Sharon Foundation, a philanthropic organization focused on empowering widows and orphans through education, skills training, and financial support. The foundation has impacted thousands in Nigeria.

Alakija was listed by Forbes as one of the world's richest women, with a net worth estimated at $2.5 billion. Her wealth derived primarily from oil and fashion businesses, making her the richest woman in Nigeria at the time.

Lenin Moreno won the 2017 presidential election as the candidate of the ruling PAIS Alliance, succeeding Rafael Correa. He took office on May 24, 2017, initially continuing Correa's policies before shifting to a more centrist and later conservative stance.

Moreno publicly broke with former president Correa, accusing him of corruption and mismanagement. He supported a referendum that limited presidential terms and allowed for Correa's prosecution, leading to a deep rift within the ruling party and a shift in Ecuador's political landscape.

In February 2019, Moreno's government signed a $4.2 billion loan agreement with the International Monetary Fund, requiring austerity measures including fuel subsidy cuts. This triggered massive protests in October 2019, leading to a state of emergency and the government's temporary relocation to Guayaquil.
