Workers of life

Chizuru01:

Shame on you.

Chizuru01:
am very sure she can ride Dangotes bicycle very well

You need to cure yourself of three things:

1. Low self esteem.
2. Misogyny
3. Ignorance

Good luck to you as you work on them.

Chizuru01:
am very sure she can ride Dangotes bicycle very well

Dangote does not have bicycles , don't you know he's the richest man in Africa....


Oh wait , what do you mean by bicycle?

Young men!! This is exactly what we want in 2019 elections!
Enough of old men!

Chizuru01:
am very sure she can ride Dangotes bicycle very well

at that level.. They don't mix business with pleasure.

Check her profile... She earned it.

does anyone know anyone who works with dangote no. cos he pays trash

Chizuru01:

If someone achieve greatness, don't beef them

Chizuru01:
am very sure she can ride Dangotes bicycle very well

A male? Please check your brain, it's leaking...

Looking at the names of the appointees right now: Dangote is truly a detribalized Nigerian

If our leaders were as detribalized as Dangote, many Asia countries wouldn't be able to compete with us

If we are not careful, tribalism, nepotism and religion will finish Nigeria

Buhari has already set the precedence

Congratulations to the new appointees

They should manage the conglomerates well because Dangote as a brand feeds thousand of people around the world...including Mrs Blair

Congrats �

Congratulations to them! Reading their profiles is excellent, they deserve it. But, it seems Dangote is more interested in Yorubas that Awolowo gave the opportunity through Azikwe to study & gain "Quality Education" Abroad. I would have given him my ideas but let me withhold it till then.

All non northerners
All non muslims

Now the religious bigots of CAN ancestral let us ear what you have to say

The tribalists of IPOB ancestral, let us hear what you have to say

Great Fedgosian

Dangote needs competition, not the so called best line up #Rubbish!

With all their supposed greatness not one could challenge the might of Dangote, just shows how truly un-great they are.

Dangote proudly does not possess half the qualifications of the least schooled graduate in the list yet he dominates them and is free to dispossess them of their relevance to society.

Who are these morons fooling, theyre zero without a job and dont have the knowhow to be their own boss.

A good business man that knows what is best for his company.

Congrats. 2 dem, especially d lady, she is an inspiration. Her resume is superb, may God give me a dat kind.

Nigerians are among the best educated people around the world.

We boast of skilled professional in business management discipline, banking, insurance, political science, public admin, engineering, medicine, pharmaceutical, nursing, theatre art, etc

Inspite of this human resources, Nigerians have not been able to utilized this expertise gathered from all this diverse field to better the lot of the country.

Nigerians remain one of the most corrupt group of people second to Bangladesh.

So people will ask what is the relevance of education to a nation if we can not use it to effect a change on society?

Nothing to do with being detribalized. He is acting is HIS BEST interests

Mostly Yorubas and one Edo.

The guy is hausa and knows very well that business and sentiment do not gel.

That's the difference between him and Buhari.
Igbos are good in business, turning two to four and even to 10, but many of them have no formal education, if not, they'll be at the top of multinationals.

The hausa who're very Lazy and good at nothing, gets to top positions due to politics

I'm humbled! No wonder Dangote is always on top!!
