Innovation growth finesse
Northern youths must start investing and growing
They have shunned honestly and embraced western fraud.
The North and the east can handle this nation right

The North and East got nothing in common. The North and Yoruba should handle their nation right cos they're one.



Learn not to bring East in irrelevant things.

The first to open a bank account in Nigeria!?
Who recorded this history?
You guys want to humanize the Dangote-Dantata makavelian escapades in Nigeria business environment?

Is there anything that has been done by those two in business within this country that can be done in any saner clime without the two finding themselves in jails with sentences longer than that Bennie Mardoff?

Don't let any motivational speaker decieve you with any stupid quote about Dangote that will lead you to Early grave,like all those their rubbish aspire to require shiit

Too much money

Please edit the caption of the thread with "Meet Alhaji Alhassan Dantata, the first Northerner to open a bank account in Nigeria". Most Nigerians seem to enjoy the life on the lane of insincerity. This dubious act shows in the retrogressive growth of the shithole called Nigeria.
