Okoroawusa:
In whatever you do in this life cultivate people. The Igbo say that "Onye nwere madu ka onye nwere ego ". This means that he that has people is better than he that has money.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu is truly a man of destiny

plaindealer:
Sadly for Obi, he had zero path to folks like Aminu Dantata, they won't even let that petty bigot and anti-Norherner get close to him and without people like Aminu Dantata behind you of giving you the nod, you are not going anywhere.

Obi was just a nuisance during the campaign season, he cheaply relegated himself to the usual anti Norrth sentiments, running in and out of Churches with his religious bigotry and holy war mentality.

Politics apart, Obi is a very dumb, idiotic, clannish, bigoted, and narrow-minded nuisance.

MrFourSHIRTS:
The akpu and okpa munching apes should learn from this thread what real politics is and make friends instead of enemies.

You can't call Hausa and Fulani beggers, uneducated "poverty riden region" and head slammers. Then you expect to rule in Nigeria
You can't call other people's land "no man's land".
You can't be "landgrabbing" people who offered to accomodate you when you ran away from your birth place, in the middle of the night, with 2 shirts and slippers in black nylon bag.
They even let you sell your gala and pure water running in traffic
Lagos no owe your FATHER

Also you can't be carrying drugs to Singapore, UAE and Thailand and be using the funds to promote IPOB, Nnmadi KANU (beans eater) and Simeon EKPA. These things are common sense but you like to enjoy "Python Dance"

(May 1931-)

(Aliko Dangote’s granduncle)


Alhaji Aminu Alhassan Dantata (CON) is a wealthy Nigerian businessman and philanthropist from Kano.


Dantata And Sons

Alhaji Aminu Dantata was born in Kano to legendary businessman Alhassan Dantata and Amina Umma Zaria. He began his career in 1949 as a produce buyer in the family business of Alhassan Dantata and Sons Limited. His father died in 1955 and the shares in the business were subsequently distributed to the children. In 1958, Dantata became the deputy managing director of the business while his brother, Ahmadu, was the managing director. When Ahmadu died in 1960, Aminu Dantata became the chairman and managing director of the company, a position he holds till date.


Businesses

However, in the late 1960s, he worked with the newly created Kano State as a commissioner. He left in 1972 to partake in the nation’s industrial drive and was known to have bought shares in major companies including Mentholatum, Raleigh Industries, SCOA, Nigerian Pipes, Northern Nigeria Flour Mills and later, Kano State Oil Mills. During the period, the Dantata business expanded in the North, supplying fertilizer, jute bags, rice and cement to various state governments. It also expanded its importing ventures by bringing in building materials and automobiles, in the case of the latter; it was a distributor of Mercedes Benz cars in the country.

The business also invested in large scale farming, with holdings in Asada Farms. The building and construction division of the firm was responsible for building the Defence Academy in Kaduna, extension of the Ahmadu Bello University and building the Nigerian Civil Aviation College in Zaria. The technical division traded in WARD generators and Barford construction equipment and the firm also maintained a terminal at the Warri Port. Alhaji Dantata was a member of the Steering Committee of the Nigerian Industrial Development Bank Limited, and served as a director of the bank between 1962 and 1966. He has led several trade missions to several countries across the world. Alhaji Dantata is the founder of Express Petroleum & Gas Company Ltd and he is also a director on the board of Jaiz Bank, Nigeria’s first Islamic bank.


The Donation Circuit

He was noted, together with Chief M.K.O Abiola, as being one of the wealthiest Nigerians in the 1970s, 1980s & 1990s. Alhaji Dantata was a part-time member of what I call the “Donation Circuit”. The donation circuit was not a formal organisation, but it’s the way that I refer to a phenomenon that occurred in the late 1980s and early 1990s (the Babangida era).

Some of Nigeria’s wealthiest men in Nigeria were often invited to specific events in which they donated large sums of money. These events included fund raising in churches and mosques, university convocations, book launching and fund raising activities by universities, secondary schools, community development associations and charities.

It was usually the same set of people that were invited to these events. The president was usually the special guest of honour (when he was invited), the governor was usually the chief host, the head of the institution was usually the host, Chief M.K.O. Abiola was usually the chief launcher and other members of the donation circuit were usually special guests.

There was a day that I watched the 9 o’clock news and there was an advert for one of these events and the invited guests were listed. There was another advert immediately after and the list of invited guests was almost exactly the same as the list in the previous advert.

The members of the donation circuit included Chief MKO Abiola, Alhaji Aminu Dantata, Chief Sunny Odogwu, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, Chief Molade Okoya-Thomas, Chief Razak Okoya, Prince Adedapo Tejuosho, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, Alhaji Ibrahim Dasuki, Prince Adekunle Ojora, Chief Onwuka Kalu (Onwuka Inter-Biz), Alhaji Ahmed Mai Deribe, Chief Michael Ibru, Dr Alex Ibru, Chief Sunny Okogwu, Chief Wahab Iyanda Folawiyo, Alhaji Grema Mohammed, Chief Francis Arthur Nzeribe, Alhaji Isyaku Rabiu, Dr Olusola Saraki, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, etc.

Sometimes, when the event was a book launch, one of the members of the donation circuit would buy a large number of the books and donate them to the libraries of all universities in Nigeria (or the libraries of all secondary schools in Nigeria).

There was a funny incident that occurred at one of these events. Alhaji Aminu Dantata was often invited to these events, but he was not a regular member of the donation circuit. He only attended the events occasionally. I remember what happened at an occasion that he attended.

Chief Abiola had already announced his donation before Dantata was invited to make his donation. Alhaji Dantata’s donation was slightly higher than Chief Abiola’s. Sometime later Chief Abiola came back to the microphone and announced that he was going to pledge more money later.

Philanthropy

He is currently the Chancellor of Katsina Islamic University and the patron of the Kano State Foundation. The foundation engages in the provision of social services and credit to Kano State indigenes. He donated the Alhassan Dantata Haemodyalysis Center to Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (it is one of the best hospitals for the treatment and management of kidney diseases in Nigeria). In 2019 he also donated ₦50 million, toilets & boreholes to Government Girls Secondary School, Dala in Kano and then he donated another ₦50 million to the Old Girls Association of the school. In 2018 President Muhammadu Buhari commended him for his philanthropic gestures after he donated an inclusive lying-in-ward, Amenity Rooms and the Intensive Care Unit at the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Dala, Kano State. Alhaji Dantata was a former member of the Kano Provincial Loans Board.
