Let us pray for our regions and states to attract people like Aliko Dangote. This is a man who relocated from Kano to Lagos in 1978, and after forty six years, he singlehandedly controls 21% of Lagos State's economy. Yet, he has never claimed that he developed Lagos.

Listening to him yesterday was such a humbling experience. Hr was down to Earth. He did not brag. He shared the spotlight with his staff and let them talk. He then gave kudos to the Lagos State Government, specifically identifying past Governors who helped him become what he is today.

Humility is a trait that some of us need. If we had it, we would not have problems in Lagos, South Africa, Thailand, Kenya and many other places. In truth, those people do not hate Nigerians. Rather, they despise the pride, arrogance, and indifference to the feelings of host communities displayed by some Nigerians.

May God help our brothers and sisters with these traits learn one or two things from Mr. Dangote that will help them develop better relations with their fellow Nigerians and people worldwide.

Lagos was developed by outsider simple and true. Now if it’s Igbo or not that’s non of my business..but the best houses and businesses in Lagos are own and built by igbos. Truth be told.

Thewrath:
How many dangote do we have in Nigeria?
Which major market is dominated by Yorubas in Lagos?
Who controls commerce in Lagos? (And before you come up with your list of yoruba billionaires,know that 10million averages Nigerians with purchasing power is greater than 100 billionaires) the numbers is what matters..

When you have your answers,you will realize even dangote depends on commerce as a businessman to survive…continue hating!!

Where is the hate in that piece?

In fact, the thread was to hail Dangote and if anyone is hating, then its you

You are angry that statistically, Dangote controls 21% of lagos Economy

If the numbers you talked about, The indigenous tribe has the largest population in the state, hence, they control the commerce

You obviously dont know how stats works and you cant even interpret them too

Chidi, Learn how to creatively troll next time

richmond500:
Look at top 50 companies in Lagos state, how many are your people controlling?
How many of ur billionaires has what it takes to control the likes of bill gates to Nigeria?
You are doing POS, selling spare parts and electronics doesn't make you control the market.
The real players are those who will sneeze and the economy will catch cold

richmond500:
call the best business.
It is globalcom, access, conoil, BUA, or Dangote cement.
Now talking about houses, Mike Adenuga has the most expensive house in Lagos state.
Where does the Igbos fall?
