Opportunity sometimes comes like Problem.

Aliko Dangote was born into a wealthy home in Kano. He got his first degree in Cairo, Egypt. He had always loved trading , and reports say he hawked sweets even as a primary school child , even though his family was wealthy. Dangote is really a very humble person even by the confessions of people who have interacted with him.
But Dangote is not the only hardworking Nigerian. He is not the only humble person around . He is probably not the most business savvy in Africa. But he is certainly the richest Blackman in the world . His companies employ over 11 , 000 people directly – not to mention , distributors, contractors and other vendors who depend on his businesses to thrive . Dangote is a blessing to humanity.
There is no family in Nigeria today that does not have a Dangote product in their home. If it is not sugar, then it is salt or the house you are living in was built with a Dangote Cement . Everyone has something to do with his business , so like Job he earns a little off everyone and that is the way to get wealthy.
Dangote is the 23 rd richest person in the world and is said to be the second most powerful African alive . The question is how did Dangote attain such a height ? Yes, you can’ t take away his hard work and business acumen, but that is only the starting point. The answer will not be found in the Forbes Magazine or on Wikipedia. The answer is in the verse of scripture quoted above : If you are willing and obedient you will eat the good of the land .

Sometime in the early 90 s Dangote had an encounter that set his foot on the path of destiny. Archbishop Benson Idahosa had some guests who needed to travel back urgently from Benin to Lagos to catch up their flight to the US . Unfortunately by the time the Archbishop took his guests to the airport they were told that the last flight for the day was overbooked and not a single seat was available. As a matter of fact , the passengers have boarded and were about to take off. Idahosa asked for the plane to be delayed a few minutes and walked to the tarmac where he was allowed to address the passengers. He pleaded with them about the desperate situation of his guests and asked that two persons should donate their seats for his guests to get to Lagos.
Everyone in that plane was a Christian. Not one of them bated an eyelid. Some pretended to be asleep, some pretended to be praying and the man of God stood waiting.

From the back of the plane , a young man asked the person sitting next to him to get up and together they vacated their seat for the American visitors.
Idahosa stopped him in the aisle of the plane and asked,
“Youngman, what is your name and what do you do ?”
“ My name is Dangote , Aliko Dangote and this is my assistant . I am a trader, a businessman.”
It was there and then, that Papa Idahosa prophesied to him that “ the World will get up for you”. He prayed that God should take his business beyond Africa and bless him beyond measure.

Today God has answered that prayer. God destined that blessing for someone seated in that plane that evening. But there was a condition attached to it –
Isa 1 :19 If you will only let me help you, if you will only obey , then I will make you rich! Dangote’ s wealth today was meant for a Christian businessman who was too proud, too fixated in his mind to offer the “ flamboyant man of God”, the “prosperity preacher” his seat.

My question is, if you were there on that plane, would you have taken the blessing ?

Do you have a Job? Where is Introvert and Lady F (art) when you need them

SirJeffry:
This is a kind of false story my village catechist used to intimidate us into being good boys back then.

Taaaaa, how can they stop an already scheduled plane from taking off for Idahosa to address the passengers? Was he Nigerian president abi Wetin?

acidtalk:
BULLSH1T!!! FVUK1NG BULLSH1T!!!

Must some 1diotic brainwashed bigoted ignoramus brain drained religious slaves always think and spread crap?

Why didn't idahosa prophesize or pray for such for his own children instead of a stranger? Weren't his own children in financial mess and laundering charges as well as property scuffles amongst themselves some few years back?

Must you M00rons give glory to mere mortals instead of God (The Supreme being)? Why should it be a man to pray for you to succeed instead of God who in the distributor and giver of wealth, glory and success?

Pastors are behind the failure of 98% of broken homes today. Reason being people run to their pastors instead of God for help and direction.


OVER MY DEAD BODY WILL GOD ALLOW ME TO SEE ANY SITUATION THAT WILL WARRANT ME TO GO KNEEL BEFORE ANY MAN IN THE NAME OF PRAYERS.


I DARE ANY AND I REPEAT ANY RELIGIOUS LEADER IN NIGERIA TO COME OUT AND CLAIM HE IS HOLIER THAN ME.


I NO BE SAINT OH! BUT I SURELY HAVE A CONSCIENCE, FEAR GOD AND ACT RIGHT.


IDAHOSA KOH! IDIRANU NI!!

This is definitely not logical. The story is designed to hoodwink gullible followers into giving their last dime to their wealthy pastors.
If indeed this happened(the pastor stopped the plane from taking off) and Dangote became a billionaire because of Idahosa's blessings then it's only logical for every member of the pastor's congregation to be listed on the Forbes list. Let's face it looks, he blesses them every Sunday init?

ManTiger:

You may not be completely right.
There was a testimony given by Oyedepo about how he made #5,000,000 offering to Baba Idahosa's church and he prophesy riches and anointing into his life.

DDeliverer:
But howcome nobody remembers the name of his assistant? He got up too...didn't he?

goldfish80:
how about the other members of his church in their thousands, who drop their faden in the offering box every Sunday. Why are they not as rich as Dangote and Oyedepo? Which man of God blessed Donald Trump, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Sheik Mansour etc before they made their billions? Serious question.

MY FATHER nids to be at borno fighting terrorists.. To put his anger to good use.
