Sometimes I wish they can sell Nigeria to this guy so he can successfully run the country same way he runs his company.

He can't do without Tonyebarcanista his sales rep

No man is an island, Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.

He is cute....

A team that delivers makes success look easy!

Abeg stop wishing us bad jere.... I salute those that have stayed in the business despite the very harsh business environment....Dangote enjoys govt support which is not available to his competitors, now tell me how he's not going to be successful...

topsyking:
no ibo

Why na? They are coming to cry again and issue an ultimatum!!!! Ipob dumbass!!!

And who says intellect ain't that important.

individual success as a businessman is different from holding a public office as a leader.

topsyking:
no ibo

And you think its an achievement for a full-fledged Igbo man to be dangotes servant?
We are bigger than that. Unlike you oduduas who derive pleasure in being servants.
Anummanu!!

No woman?
Anyway,I don't blame him.
After all, Nigerians gave Jonathan Nigeria to manage and he in turn handed it to women, now see were they have landed us

One of them quietly took 20b usd from our pulse and the dumb ass man who's suppose to be in charge came out publicly to say












"STEALING IS NOT CORRUPTION"

foul

OBASANJO is the blood and breadth of Dangote.
Remove OBJ and Dangote is dead

LORD, AS YOU MADE THIS MAN SUCCESSFUL, MAKE ME, NAIRALANDERS AND MY ENTIRE HOUSEHOLD SUCCESSFUL IN JESUS NAME.

Hmmmm

@ the bold, trust me, i found it more funny than any of Basket Mouth's jokes, especially comming from the president of a country..

Nigeria don suffer abeg!.

That's good

k

Big fat lie, nobody s irreplaceable abeg

And million others depend on Dangote for their staple supplies and salaries. He's truly a remarkable and successful man.

EVERYONE HAS A STORY;

A 24-year old boy looking out through a train's
window shouted, Dad, look, "the trees are going
behind; they are moving very fast" his Dad simply
stared at him with so much joy and smiled! A young
couple seated nearby looked at the 24-year old and
thought to themselves, he's so grown up but so
childish, he must have a mental disorder for his
father not to be bothered. Suddenly the young man
exclaimed again; Dad, look, "the clouds are running
with us" the couple could not resist and said to the
old man, why don't you take your son to a good
doctor may be a psychiatrist? The old man smiled and
said I just did. We are just coming from a doctor but
not a psychiatrist ; we are just coming from the
hospital. My son was blind from birth. He just got his
sight today for the very first time, his behavior may
seem silly to you, it's more than a miracle to me.
The young couple just sat down there, lost for words
with a mixture of tears and shame in their eyes..
Everybody on earth has a story; don't judge people so
fast or jump into conclusion about their private
affairs; you don't know where they are coming from
or what they have to deal with.
The truth behind their story might surprise you. Take
it easy with others, even if you have a perfect life.
Let us keep working towards the good of all. GOD BLESS!

And u re tellin us so dat....?

The list is not complete without me.

mtcheew these are not the real people he can't do without. most of them can be replaced. we all know who he prostrates to

i am 30years today please help me to click like.

Who says he can't do without them? They are on his pay-roll!
There are hundreds of greater managers waiting for an opportunity
as such and you will see greater results.

It Nigeria should lift the restriction on Importation (though to her detriment) or
fully support SMEs, I don't see any of these guys providing solution to the
depression that company will experience.


Meanwhile, I appreciate their managerial abilities in co-ordinating a company as
this.

See that first class guy from University of Nottingham. Later some people will say it's not by degree class.
There's a reason the classes exist in the first place.
I know some people will say you can develop your skills and get extra professional certifications but do you think the First Class graduates are sleeping? They're also doing the same.
If you like go and play in school then come and lament on Nairaland.
