Like 10 billion now. I can tell you this for a fact. Even if the early 90's one million na big money. You can see how much the likes of Babangida and Abacha donated.

Igbo community still represented. Good people with pure and generous mindset. 1986 when they just came out of war and were persecuted with awolowo's 20kobo agenda, they were still able to show their host community how dogged the race is with such humongous amount of money.

I think it's far more than that. Chatgpt says it's over 100billion, adjusting for inflation.

Also considering that a brand new Peugeot 504 was about N5000 then, which means that money could purchase a about 200 of such.

Even PETER OBI refused to call himself Rich when he has everything money can buy, but here you are labelling yourself as Rich. Who told you ?
Rich people don't call themselves rich, people call them rich. Be humble and stop being Braggadocios

Abacha wasn't a nobody. He was the chief of army staff and second-most influential figure in the IBB regime at the time.

Launching of the Kano Foundation in 1986

Look at the names of the two highest donors: Alhaji Aminu Dantata and Alhaji Isyaku Rabiu. Aminu Dantata's grandnephew, Aliko Dangote, is currently the richest man in Nigeria, while Khalifa Isyaku Rabiu's son, Abdulsamad Isyaku Rabiu, is currently the second richest man.

Alhaji Dan Kabo of Kabo Airlines also donated some money in the name of Kabo Holdings.

I told you that President Babangida would usually personally donate a few thousand naira and then donate a few million on behalf of the Federal Government. Gani Fawehinmi sued him because of the donations on behalf of government ( "Where did the money come from? How can you donate money that is not budgeted for"? ).

However, in this case Generals Babangida and Abacha only donated personally, there was no donation on behalf of government (probably because the institution was not a government institution).

This was an event for the Kano Foundation which was launched on March 1st, 1986.

Triumph Newspaper is owned by the Kano State Government. It was established by the administration of Governor Rimi in 1980.
Whaoo! How time flies. March 1st 1986 was just 14,364 days ago when he donated such huge money. RIP to the dead

That's not him, that's someone else, Dangote's name is ALIKO not ALIYU.
