This is inspiring. Long line of wealth. Educational and informative, This is the best historical content I have read on Nairaland since I joined back in 2011.

Meanwhile let me go back to selling that Cheap Lexus on my page, since we NOT from Dangote bloodline, we need to survive the stilfling competition and harsh business climate.

Okay, I’ll read again, thanks sir

Abdullahi already had a reputation of some wealth from his ventures with his father and therefore inherited his father’s position as a recognised and respected madugu. Like his father, he preferred the Nupe and Gonja routes. He specialised in the exchange of Kano dyed cloth, cattle, slaves and so on for the kola of the Akan forest.

Before the Europeans came, blacks traded themselves as slaves to the Arabs.
Those Africans who ask for reparations from the whites should first pay reparations to the descendants of the slaves in the Arabian peninsular and elsewhere.
The horrors of Arabs enslaving blacks continues today in Libya.

I like the epistles that you wrote about the Dantatas and Dangotes dynasties. I appreciate their wealth and contribution to the society.

However, there are a lot of silent and wealthy people in Nigeria that you do not know. Most of them source dirty money, they cleaned the money, are in the process of cleaning the money and are still cleaning the dirty money till tomorrow.

A lot of them clean the money through Dangote and some other business entities. In other words, the Dangotes dynasty is a success story that is still being written as I write despite that it is driven by dirty money and proxy investments. The major actor - Alhaji Dangote - is a front for some rogues, politicians, government officials and money launderers.

This is my personal opinion, speculation or position. You don't have to believe me.

Very educative.

The Dangote family started wealth building many years back.

NO BI TODAY !

But we need more Dangote in Nigeria to build the economy.

We are tired of POLIT-THIEF-CIAN whose major aim is to loot the treasury and making life more miserable for the common man.

With what I just read, this families can never be poor....

great one.
they are everywhere.

Great read.

quaintbloke:
I think we should be very circumspect with supposed rags to riches stories cos they're baked in half truths.
One theme runs through all these stories, they had a good and respected family name.
In 10yrs time, someone would wake up and run a well lettered story of how Awolowo's grandson or Otedola's great grand kid became a billionaire by dint of hard work, forgetting that the family name alone guarantees open doors.
Again let's not discountenance the fact that these guys got up there with favourable government policies and patronage.
Stories like this make the average Nigerian depressed cos the average Nigerian is smart and hardworking but they haven't made their millions due to unfavourable government policies.

Thumbs up. If you're from a rich background, the pathway to success is already very easy for you.

No scientific breakthrough.

No strong ideological movement.

Just buy, withold, and sell. Anybody can do this.

We need to start celebrating people whose knowledge of science and technology through thorough research and breakthrough will help shape the lifestyle of our unborn children positively not these lucky individuals who rode on the predatory Northern Nigeria hegemony to build wealth.

I'm out!

That is how most people make their money in every country in the world.
Anybody can do it but very few are competent.

Story story

Dangote is operating on the OPM principles.

Other People's Money (OPM) is Hedge Fund vehicle that pays RoI to stakeholders as a surrogate and running the enterprise under the brand.

Dangote does not dine with politicians for nothing.

Make una dey use una brain small.

The matriach of this family is Feeding 5000 people a day! Talk about impact and she isn't shouting it on social media. Our kurukere churches will do something small and wouldn't allow us to hear word.

And those same people have made the thread about Dangote, when it's not really just about him.
