The richest man in Nigeria and Africa, Billionaire Aliko Dangote celebrates DJ Cuppy on her 26th birthday with this video message.

But We noticed from the comments section that Nigerians left the message and are now talking about the billionaire's English, accent.
Some claim he was pronouncing 'Cuppy' as 'Coffee' (Is it true?)

Watch the trending video HERE and see reactions from Nigerians below.

What do you think about this? With his billionaire status, Does his English, grammar, accent matter?

Does his English matter?

People should be talking about his money not English. Who English help?

English Language is not a yardstick to Intelligence.

Dangote is an Intelligent Man.
Dangote is knowledgeable; which is applied information.
English can't create wealth but knowledge does.

See them begging him for money after bashing him.

Low mentality everywhere

its his money we should talk abt

MONEY and ENGLISH.

Choose wisely!

What is Life Without Money?

With Money, you can buy English Teachers/Lecturers from Oxford or Cambridge universities respectively

"Hi Cuffy, Happy Bezzday, we larv you all..." Kuku kill me

As far as I'm concerned, Aliko's English is better than British English. When you are broke and you speak good English, your English is still not correct.
Money rules out all your grammatical inadequacies

Normal hausa man accent

Nigerians can be stupid sha with the way they go on and on about the English language and its phonetics. I said in dt 'prophetess naomi prays for ooni thread with her hfactor', as long as u speak clear English u are fluent in English. Local intonations are very irrelevant.

Speaking different languages is a sure sign of intelligence dn speaking one language perfectly. Walking into a UN or world bank office will cure pple of dis phoney mentality.

Meehn

The richest men in the world don't look or sound rich.

I hope these fools are now billionaires with their correct english??

yinkus6750:
Has the pronunciation or whatever error reduce his net worth as the richest African?
And the English Philosopher correcting grammarian, what's his worth with all the PH D he has in English?

Who needs English when you're the richest in your continent?

Rextizzle:
Normal hausa man accent

I dont know why they are blaming him.They dont have 'P' in Hausa language and that is why most of them find it difficult to pronounce it

Buhari is better than this post

How many Nigerians can make coherent speeches in English language?
"Money speaking, speaking, any English waiting waiting"
