Aminu Dantata: I Am Just Waiting For My Time, I No Longer Enjoy Life by ebukajay184: 8:41pm On Dec 27, 2022
Successful Nigerian business mogul and philanthropist, Aminu Alhassan Dantata, 91, has revealed that he no longer enjoys life and he is waiting to depart this world in good faith, IGBERETV reports.

Dantata disclosed this when he received the Vice Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kashim Shettima.

The businessman explained that since his youth, he had the privilege of meeting many people and formed friendships in all states of Nigeria but can hardly name 10 who are still alive.

He said: "I have travelled to all the states in Nigeria and I have done things with people across all states, many were friends but sadly, all the people I know, I hardly can call out 10 that are still alive.

"Honestly, as I am right now, I am just waiting for my time. I no longer enjoy life anymore. I hope I depart this world in good faith.

"I hope I did not offend anyone in life. If I offended anyone, I hope they find it in their hearts to forgive me. If anybody has offended me, I have forgiven them.

"I am now the only one left in my family living with grandchildren."

Dantata, while expressing joy and appreciation for the visit, prayed for Nigeria for everlasting peace and harmony.

"May God not leave us with our efforts alone, we pray for his continued guidance and protection," he prayed.

I don't blame him...he is 91 years of age. That's old, and i won't be surprised if he has not surpassed his expectation as to when he would die.

And yeah, most of his friends would be dead by now.

I have heard a woman of the same age from another country in an interview expressing the same sentiment as Dantata.

That is life for you.

This is why we hammer on the need to prepare for Eternity because that is the real life.

Life here on earth is just a temporal thing.
Eternity is forever and ever.

Don't allow the few years you have here on earth to destroy your forever and ever.
Live in the Conciousness of your Eternity.

If you will make Eternal life in Heaven, you must Believe and Surrender to JESUS Christ as your LORD and Savior.

Yeah...

Let's assume he had friends from all ages.

Those that are older...most, if not 95% of them would be dead...expecially those ten years and older, even 5 years and older.

Even those that are younger than him, most would be dead too..ie those above 70 years, but younger than him.

10 might even be an overestimation self.

Dangote's maternal uncle. Life becomes boring when all your friends are dead and your children no longer find you lively. The same thing happening to my old man.

What kind of lesson?
That legal wealth accumulation is bad?
We should all stay poor and automatically go to heaven!?
He's over 90 years! I have been hearing about Dantata Land and Sea since I was in primary school.
He made billions. Enjoyed life. He's now ready to go.
