Dangote’s Nigeria gamble succeeds as wealth reaches $37 billion

Aliko Dangote’s net worth has risen to a historic $36.7 billion, according to real-time Bloomberg data.

This underscores his status as both the wealthiest black individual and the richest African.

His empire has long been anchored by Dangote Cement, Sugar, and Fertilizer.

I love this man’s mentality and he needs being studied

Still looking for more money

Go hard or go home, niger took the risk, niger steady smiling to the bank

Well deserved... But he should be worth way more than that, those figures is only because he's black

My most respected Nigeran

$37b?? That’s kinda massive!
Remember me oh Lord…

Omoor that 20 billion dollar refinery investment was a huge risk o, if it had gone south, he fit comot from list of richest people oo

Tinubu is building super highways for nigerians instead. Something his fourth generation can comfortably toll under PPP arrangement. It is well

That is great for a business mogul.The rich keep looking for more opportunities to make more money while the poor people are satisfied with little.

Invest in power and reap the benefits! We don’t want another South-African entity to do so and reap the benefit like MTN has done in telecommunications industry.

That's the entire GDP mutipled by 10 of one region like that.

That coastal highway still dey pain you ?

When it's finished , you are free to avoid it and use the moribund East-West Highway your SE contractors embezzled all the funds meant for it .

Enthroned by FG assisted monopoly

business man wey get sense

He's still small boy to Elon Musk.

Go hard or go home, niger cashed out

If you love to be rich don't hate rich people because you can't attract whatever you hate.

What is the definition of gambling again? This is simply brain storming investment.

See Monopoly at its finest 😉

Naija na wasteland

The mentality is simple.
He believes in the country
He doesnt hate or give up on the country and wish it bad because he hates the president.
He sees opportunity in every regime irrespective of who is the president
He made all his money in this country

I remember how Obidients were jubilating and falling over themselves when Dangote’s wealth dropped after Tinubu unified the FX rates, their joy didn’t even last long

Still trying to come to a meaningful conclusion with thee Headline...


Did they say Dangote dey play Bet9ja?

Just 37 billion dollars
