Diezani Alison-Madueke, a former oil minister’s shocking photo is generating huge buzz online.
She is undergoing cancer treatment in the UK.
She has asked for prayers so that she could overcome the ailment in order to be able to defend herself against allegations of sleaze against her.
Just last week, Dele Momodu, who met her in London was shocked when he saw the new-look Diezani in an arranged encounter in her home: “The Diezani before me was not the ebullient woman I used to see on television and in newspapers. Her head had become a Sahara desert of sorts almost totally bald with a sprinkle of freshly growing hair all grey. She requested to sit on a classroom chair as her back was hurting badly and she could not sit so low. Wow, what a terrible time she must be having, I almost screamed out but cautioned myself. Sitting across from me was a woman who was a shadow of herself, almost like an apparition or ghost. I’m sure she saw the horror in my face.”
