The way we Nigerians connect things...

We would never win a Nobel in Sciences

So the prediction of Idahosa made someone who was already a billionaire in Naira a billionaire in Dollars?

MADNESS AT ITS PEAK
THE MAN OF GOD OBSESSION HAS NOW CROSSED OVER FROM CHRISTIAN FOLKS TO MUSLIM FAITHFULLS
ALIKO WILL BE DEEPLY OFFENDED BY THIS WRITE UP
THIS IS A TRANSGRESSION AGAINST HIS FAITH
SEE HOW PEOPLE LOOK FOR TROUBLE
ALIKO HAS NEVER EVER MENTIONED TO ANY ONE THAT HE HAS A DEGREE
NO MUSLIM CLERIC IS TAKING CREDIT FOR ALIKOS SUCCESS, OUT OF NO WHERE SOME GUY DOES SOME FAKE WITE UP ATTRIBUTING IT TO SOME MAN OF GOD.
FUNNY, SO GOD CANNOT ACCEPT SOMEONES PRAYER WITHOUT A MAN OF GOD ( PREFERABLY A CHRISTIAN AS THIS CASE IS ) INTERCEDING ON HIS BEHALF.
BROS
GODS WAYS EXCEED HUMAN IMAGINATION

did you know dangote was the only importer in nigeria at some point And has been favoured with government policies since obasanjo's regime. I can say that was actually what gave him a frog leap. If not do you know how many people that have fasted and prayed fervently and gave all what they had to God Dont just cook up stories. Everyone was not made to be equal. He had already made it big before meeting with idahosa.

anyway all this long story are made up and pure lies. dangote became rich because his father was very rich, his father was the biggest land owner in northern nigeria , groundnut farmer and exporter he owned the biggest groundnut plantation in nigeria. yes! GROUNDNUT! simples! any other stories about praying and idahosa is Absolute Rubbish!

If u care to listen, this story never happened. Am a christian n a believer by all standard.
1. If u have boarded flight b4, u will know that one can not stand up and exchange sit for another after being checked in.
2. U will know that no matter who u are, u can't stop a moving plane.
3. Who did the statistics to know that others were Christians n pastors but refused to Stand.
4. Was that the only good gesture someone or people have done to Idahosa? If NO, where the other billionires?
5. Was Dangote the only man Idahosa praye for?
6. Why has Dangote in all his speeches never acknowledge having to meet the pastor?
7. So the plane would have still been waiting for all this drama.
8. Who recorded this events?
9. Pictures
10. Be reasonable next time.

God is God! Even if no one believes, HE will still be God so u don't have to lie to make him God.

Great comment on this stupid article.

Thanks so much.

This is one of the most discouraging piece I have read in nairaland. Someone with a degree from naija university sat down to write and the reason he gave for making dangote rich was standing up for sb and prayers. My friend you need prayer and deliverance.

I really doubt the authenticity of this Dangote- Idahosa Story.

Please can somone corroborate it with hard facts like a video of Dangote attesting to the fact or a statement from the other passengers or Dangote's Assistant at the time

If Pastor Idahosa was on the Tarmac as the story states, how did the passengers seated in the plane hear him? That's quite a distance for one's voice to travel even if he he was right at the base of the plane
It's obvious whoever came up with this story have never boarded a plane before.

So you're telling me that dangote became rich just because he stood up for another man on a plane and the said man prophesied, and not more about his hardwork, resilience and careful planning (don't forget the government has always favoured him with policies)

Pls remind me the plane stories of Bill Gates, Buffet n co again..
Africa and God shaa..

No matter your hard work, resilience and connections, if God does not support what you're doing, it will yield no fruit. Is Dangote the only man that is hardworking and having govt backing.? Remove God's hand, your gold becomes goard

Abeg tell us how he became the sole importer of sugar for more than 120million Nigerians during the 90's.

"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 batted 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 not 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?
Enjoy your day.
Nothing in life is worth fighting for. Your best clothes is someone's rag,your account balance is someone's donation at a function, your girl friend/boy friend or fiance/fiancee' is someone's Ex. Every single prostitute you see in a hotel or on the street at night was at some point in time a virgin. So what is the squabble all about? Life is too small to feel bigger or better than anybody. We're all naked to death says Steve Jobs. Nothing can save us from it. I hate to see people who Brag about wealth, beauty, intelligence, level of education, fame and material possessions. There's nothing you've achieved in life that no one else has never gotten. There's only one thing that is worth bragging which is "BELIEVE IN GOD ALMIGHTY". SO BE GOOD TO YOUR FELLOW MAN AND ALWAYS MAKE FRIENDS. Always remember that the people you trampled upon on your way up a ladder will be the same set of people you're likely to pass on your way down, so cause no problem for others because if you do, they'll become your very problem one day. Finally, even banana stems will one day become dried leaves."

This is the most useless topic I have read in my life.

You want to tell us Idahosa is responsible for Dangote's wealth.
