. I still do not believe that Aliko Dangote tops the list of Africa's richest men. In the past a lot has been said about Africa agenda of promoting the interests of white people, especially those based in South Africa. Not long ago Nicky Oppenheimer was the richest and even doubled Aliko Dangote's wealth. Nicky is the chair and owner of DE BEERS (Diamonds Mining Company) estimated @ the net worth over $38 Billion and ever since Forbes was influenced by African politics they offloaded the inclusion of DE BEERS properties in Nicky's assets. In media Dangote is put on the map and in reality it tells the different story. Do not be fooled by anything that has been written on Forbes magazine, well, it gives light in some way, but is not reliable. The stats on this magazine can be hugely distorted and interfered with by politics, especially of the western to fool a black people that Africa's economy is in their hands and not that of the western who are based in Africa, looting our natural resources. Forbes is in the mission of diverting our focus away from reality by means of propaganda. Dangote's face is being used as a front by the Forbes, tell me how will it ever happen on earth that this noble man, whose profit is mainly generated from cement and flour (which is now sold to SA white owned food company TIGER BRANDS) overtake Nicky in just a year and half and even went on further to double his wealth in just two years. Something does not add up, in fact, something is fishy here. All this happened after the former ANCYL president Julius Malema started pushing for NATIONALISATION OF MINES in South Africa and AFRICAN AGENDA that the following year statistics of Forbes changed dramatically. Is this a move by Forbes to shut us up and stop us from asking rhetorical questions about the wealth of white people in Africa, particularly SA, who are making fortune in mining Gold, Diamonds and Platinum.
