http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2007/july/29/national-29-07-2007-001.htm

U guys must read this article, Beef in the business word - Jimon Ibrahim against Dangote / Otedola. Having read the article, there is one point Jimon kept on emphasising about, that he is well educated and the other two are illiterates. I don't agree with him on this point,just because someone didn't go to  University does not mean the person can't be a great entrepreneurs. Another point he made was that they had not contributed anything to the society. I also strongly disagree with him on this point. Everyone that had bought Dangote Suguar public offer will concur with me on this point.
 what do u guys think?

Jimoh Ibrahim is not absolutely wrong saying Dangote and Otedola are illitrates, ofwhat use is a diploma or degree that has refused to help you on what to say and what not say? Jimoh Ibrahim is absolutely right, what has dangote done for the public? sell shares to them? and you say he has given to the economy? How can a man come to boast of billions when he is owing banks billions of Nairas and Dollars and you say its not illitracy? that they have access to bank loans does not give them the enfontery to come on the front page to yarn dirts, how can he say is his richer than opray? right now Oprah is owing no banks, bill gates is owing no banks, how come the likes of dangote is not among the 100 richest in the world according to forbes who has done lots research into thier individual wealths, we have seen oprah contribute and splash millions of dollars on charity and aids because she is debt free and she aint doing charity on over draft. i can tell you that Jk (harry Porters Writter) is even richer than the Dangote who think he is got all.

I'm disappointed  when they put myname on the list of illiterates who claim to be billinaires.

The truth is Jimoh Ibrahim  be educated and intelligent , am sure he doesn't have the financial education Dangote has.
To the best of my Knowledge the Dangote i know one on one is a humble and humane person , so much money.Your level of education sometimes does not guarantee your financial prowness.

What Jomoh is missing is that People like Dangote have been there all this years, is why he's been favored .

What baffles me is why Barrister Jimoh is crying out loud now.

One thing he must understand is education is no guarantee to success.

The Dangote story is a classical example.I celebrate people like Dangote who despite low educational qualifications still find their way to  the  top.

For Jimoh, your brilliance is what is sustaining you and you are a sucess story to the educated folks.

But please the languages used are insultive;Illiterates, drunk,debtors, useless

@ Easimoni
You didn't use spell check on your post. Does that make you an illiterate?

You seem to have a little problem with one expressing ones mind, would you rather respect my opinion or sit like some old fools checking that i had or didnt spell check on my post?


@ Easimoni,Viki and Iyke

I would say once again that Oprah is not favoured, Forbes magazine has done their research and i think y'all should do yours. i have met dangote atleast twice and i can say he is indeed humble but the fact stands. Oprah is humble too  . Dangote came on the front page saying all sort and glorifying himself, saying he is the richest african man or he is richer than oprah and thats the arguement because he is bidding for kaduna refinery. Wealth is not measured by the no. of cars or house you have got pleaseeeeeee!

FAct: Bill Gates Pay one million dollars per day as Voluntary tax ( employs over one million and creates jobs for over 10million around the globe), divides his profits and riches by two for what? Charity!!!! he is rich!

Fact: Oprah Owes no bank, Oprah has one million and one sponsors and has another one million on the queue waiting to sponsor all over the world. Unless you y'all has refused to read or you just don't know what to read, will you come hia and say "dangote get money pass" who dash am? he is rich yes but richer than oprah. No way!

What Jimoh is sayin is quite reasonable no doubt they might have their differences and no doubt Dangote has been making money before jimoh but jimoh is only trying to educate people like you who don't know that you can also be richer than anyone in the world. Jimoh stated that if 170billion goes to 170 graduates in a year, you would be suprised at the number of billionaire or millionaire we would produce in Nigeria. All he has said is rather than boast of being richer, pay up debt so that young graduates wont have to depend on the likes of dangote and otedola to feed,cloth and shelter, is that too much to say for jimoh ibrahim?

The fact that he's acknowledged in Wikipedia means nothing, cos wikipedia is a free encyclopedia that anyone can write and edit. For all we know, that page could have been written by you!
