Arsenal told his visitors: “I have to be there! I have to be there.”

He added: “Television is an invention that permits you to be entertained in your living room by people you wouldn’t have in your home.

“I love watching television. I watch a lot of business channels, such as Bloomberg TV, which is my favourite and many others.

“I look forward to the day when Africa will have quality media, which gives us good entertainment, and insightful information into African business trends and those from other parts of the world as well. But yeah, welcome, this is my living room.”

So there you have it Arsenal fans, Aliko Dangote has bought the club?
