Alhaji Aliko Dangote is not a just wealthy businessman but an enigma. He has continued to dominate the Nigerian and African business market place with his products and built an empire for a generation. Dare I say, he could be the richest African for another 20 to 40 years because he is unrelenting. He recently Gained $5.8bn In One Day and moved from 103rd to 64th richest person in the world. There is no stopping this guy.
Aliko Dangote is in no way stopping. From 103rd to 64th over night on Forbes list of richest men is no child's play. The records are there for him. Making Nigeria a construction site with his varieties of implementations and on-going constructions. So being the richest in Africa, big up to him. I just hope he can as well improve his investment in the people (i mean the young youths) just the Tony Elumelu's Foundation is doing. That should help his cause in a big way. He has got the government backing. So far, he is tapping richly where the deal lies in the country. But with time, as technology is taking the big wave and getting pregnant each day in Africa, i hope sooner than later, A Mark Zuckerberg will emanate from the country Nigeria soon. Big Ups to him once again.
Aliko Dangote is a name that continually stands out in conversations whenever people discuss socio-economic prospects and progress in Nigeria, Africa and the world. As a Nigerian, I've benefited immensely from the arrays of the day-to-day commodities his company produces. I think what has proven to be more outstanding about Aliko Dangote, even more than the fact that he is the richest black peraon on earth, is his continuous drive to want to meet the needs of people, elites to commoners alike. I think he has earned himself at the proverbial table of immortality
