| Aliko Dangote,Mr Money! |
The NIGERIAN business mogul, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has retained his position as Africa’s richest man with a $25 billion net worth.
He has held that position for the fourth successive year.
Globally, the influential Forbes Magazine rates Dangote as 23rd richest man and on the list of
25 richest people in the world.
Dangote is ranked 23 up 43rd among the 100 richest persons in the world.
The Nigerian businessman with interests in cement, sugar, beverages and petrochemical is said to be presently the first black man to break into the rank of top 25 richest people in the world.
What i like about Dangote is, depspite all his billions,he strikes you as a humble guy.I have never heard a story about him flaunting his wealth in an obnoxious way.He is always quietly going about his business. Now if that were me,hmmm..first thing i will do is start my own language! If you can't speak it,sorry,go to school and learn it! lol
