I bet ghosts were not the ones patronising them from 1894 when it first opened shop for business in Lagos

History lesson

Wow

Dangote Family don get money from way back

And some inspirational speakers will tell you how Dangote will not sleep to make money.....


Baba, if you meet the right people, you can get rich. If you manage your skills and develop your skills, you can get richer.


Sleep enough and have your brain rested. If you have a task to do over the night, do it and not because one lame person asked you to stay awake to discover your potentials....

Wow


Being Wealth is in their blood

I tap to his blessings Amen

Banking loosely started earlier than 1894 in what is now known as Nigeria.

Commercial banking started in Nigeria in 1872 with the establishment of the African Banking Corporation. It distributed the Bank of England notes for the British Treasury. The First Bank of Nigeria, then the Bank of British West Africa, was set up in 1894 followed by the Barclays Bank,
DCO in 1917 (now known as Union Bank of Nigeria).
