Wikileaks Cable: Obasanjo’s Unfair Advantage To Dangote. . . by ektbear: 3:33am On Sep 06, 2011 |
E.O. 12958: DECL: 03/07/2015 SUBJECT: ALIKO DANGOTE AND WHY YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT HIM Classified By: Consul General Brian Browne for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d). ¶1. (C) Summary. Alhaji Aliko Dangote (Dangote) is Nigeria's most well known businessperson and may be its wealthiest citizen. He has taken on the aura of an economic folk hero for some, villain for others. To supporters, he symbolizes that Nigeria can do more than barter and trade. It can succeed in manufacturing. To detractors, he is a predator using connections in a corrupt political economy to tilt the playing field in his favor and sideline potential competition. The truth resides somewhere between these caricatures. Dangote is counted among President Obasanjo's inner circle of business advisors. It is no coincidence that many products on Nigeria's import ban lists are items in which Dangote has major interests. ¶2. (C) Summary Cont'd: Although an undiluted success in terms of wealth accumulation, Dangote personifies the duality in Nigeria's economy. This duality presents a dilemma for US economic policy. On one hand, Dangote imports significant amounts of US produce and equipment for his manufacturing ventures. On the other, he has had success blocking trade and investment that might compete with his enterprises. Weighing everything in the balance, we believe the Dangote model is harmful to Nigerian and American interests in the long run. Unfortunately, the Dangote model will likely be the one most emulated until its beggar-thy-countrymen contradictions become more apparent. End summary.

What must I do to get my own government-backed monopoly? Perhaps we should hand over PHCN to me so I can become Dangote 2.0. |

ekt_bear: It is possible. You have to grovel before the right people for a period of time. You can make it of you try. It used to be mostly an Hausa/Fulani thing, now it's more diverse, maybe more ND or simply PDP If you are serious, notable mentors include; 1. Dantata 2. Dangote 3. Danjuma (notable military inheritor) 4. Chagouri (Lebanese) 5. Otedola 6. Adenuga 7. Tinubu (Zenon) via Asiwaju 8. Arthur Eze 9. Jimoh Ibrahim via Ibru Family 10. Late M.K.O E.T.C Some are consistent old and new money Any-Govt-In-Power operators e.g Dantata, now Dangote, maybe Adenuga, they achieved this through sheer determination and focused ability to deal, grovel and remain loyal. Others are seasonal or in and out money types e.g iwuanyanwu, igbinedion, maybe Ibru(more self-made, but a smart survivor) You just have to pick the right godfathers and prove you are loyal, dedicated and discrete enough to protect the interests of the real "Owners of Nigeria". Just in case you are wondering, the owners of Nigeria are few. Here they are in order of importance; 1. The Military-Political inheritors ; IBB, OBJ, and the Boys 2. The Tribal and Religious Lords: Sultan, Emirs, Obas and recently a few powerful pastors. 3. The Controllers: Big Oil A.K.A MNCs and their Owner States. My brother, I wish you Goodluck. |
