Aliko Dangote, the Nigerian billionaire who recently declared an interest in buying Arsenal, has revealed the reasons behind his designs on the north London club.

The 58-year-old business mogul believes that buying a Premier League team will help to raise the profile of his home country. Dangote had been criticised by some people in Nigeria for not investing the domestic league there, but he thinks that the Gunners represent a better project.
'The issue is that if I buy all the Nigerian clubs, the Nigerian flags will continue to remain here,' Dangote told Forbes.

Dangote believes Arsenal, who won the FA Cup last season, could help to boost Nigeria's credibility.

Why don't you buy a home base club?

There's nothing wrong if he rather invests in the Nigerian Premier League. If our football improves and gains more following both local and abroad, then there is a greater possibility that our international profile and credibility will receive a boost.



The only profile that would be boosted if he buys Arsenal (or any other popular European club for that matter) is his own profile, not the country's.




My opinion.

Sir, why not buy Kano pillars and Rangers?

Hmmm,c faith.





I've been hearing that since kanu was there.

I really don't give a Bleep if u bought arsenal.. Repping Liverpool till death.
