moscobabs: I respect this man so much....I wish he could contest for President under Accord party.

phillippiano: Kudos to Dangote.

BrightCar: GOOD, BUT JUST 1000 BED? DANGOTE YOU CAN DO BETTER.

Do you know what a 1000 bed hospital is or are you just talking because something in your head tells you you need to talk??

A 1000 bed hospital if built would pass as the biggest (or maybe top 5) hospital in Nigeria

HNosegbe: Nice one Dangote.

However we need to design and implement a comprehensive system of health insurance, so that the health sector can be properly funded such that we don't have to depend on philanthropic gestures to get decent health centres in Nigeria.

chibabe3: Looks like this guy will contest the presidency one day... may be preparing the way. Another Abiola

So why must Government always be involved in anything concerning Dangote. Why must he be allocated choice land to build his private hospital inside the premises of a Government Hospital in central Kano.

All Government policies, funds, and intentions are always tailored to make sure Dangote succeeds in whatever he does with bumper profit. Thats taking undue advantage we silent masses and tax payers. No wonder the folk keeps getting richer when the populace keeps suffering the more.

How can a man Forbes Magazine said is worth $2.6 billion dollars in 2009 be worth $20.5 billion dollars in 2013. Means he made extra $17 billion dollars in 4 years. A world record for wealth accumulation while the poor keeps getting poorer in the same country. Tell me if something is not wrong somewhere. Not even in USA or Saudi Arabia can one be increasing at such rate in wealth accumulation. No wonder even though Cement prices in Nigeria is about the most expensive in the world our present Government still make policies for it to remain like that.

All hail Emperor Dangote. Nigeria's unseen ruler!
