Diligent And Be Humble.
Aliko Dangote was born into a
wealthy home in Kano. He got
his first degree in Cairo, Egypt.
He had always loved trading ,
and reports say he hawked
sweets even as a
primary school child , even
though his family was wealthy.
Dangote is really a very humble
person even by the confessions
of people who have interacted
with him. But Dangote is not the
only hardworking Nigerian. He is
not the
only humble person around . He
is probably not the most
business savvy in Africa. But he
is certainly the richest Blackman
in the world . His companies
employ over 11 ,
000 people directly – not to
mention , distributors,bc
ontractors and other vendors
who depend on his businesses
to thrive . Dangote is a blessing
to humanity.There is no family
in Nigeria today that does not
have a Dangote product in their
home. If it is not sugar, then it is
salt or the house you are living
in was built with a Dangote
Cement . Everyone has
something to do with his
business , so like Job he earns a
little off everyone and that is the
way to get wealthy. Dangote is
the 23 rd richest person in the
world and is said to be the
second most powerful African
alive . The question is how did
Dangote attain such a height ?
Yes, you can’ t take away his
hard work and business acumen,
but that is only the
startingpoint. The answer will
not be found in the Forbes
Magazine or on Wikipedia. The
answer is in the verse of
scripture quoted above : If you
are willing and obedient you will
eat
the good of the land .Sometime
in the early 90 s Dangotebhad
an encounter that set his foot on
the path of destiny.
Archbishop Benson Idahosa had
some guests who needed to
travel back urgently from Benin
to Lagos to catch up their
flight to the US . Unfortunately
by the time the Archbishop took
his guests to the airport they
were told that the last flight for
the days was overbooked and
not a single seat was
available. As a matter of fact ,
the passengers have boarded
and were about to take off.
Idahosa asked for the plane to
be delayed a few minutes and
walked to the tarmac where he
was allowed to address the
passengers. He pleaded with
them about the desperate
situation of his guests and asked
that two persons should donate
their seats for his guests to get
to Lagos .Everyone in that plane
was a Christian . Not one of
them batted an eyelid. Some
pretended to be asleep, some
pretended to be praying and the
man of God stood waiting . From
the back of the plane , a young
man asked
the person sitting next to him to
get up and together they
vacated their seat for the
American visitors. Idahosa
stopped him in the aisle of the
plane and asked , “Youngman ,
what is your name and what do
you do ?” “ My name is Dangote ,
Aliko Dangote and this is my
assistant . I
am a trader, a businessman .”It
was there and then, that Papa
Idahosa prophesied to him that
“ the World will get up for you”.
He prayed that God should take
his business
beyond Africa and bless him
beyond measure . Today God
has answered that prayer . God
destined that blessing for
someone seated in that plane
that evening. But there was a
condition attached to it – Isa
1 :19 If you will only let me help
you, if you will only obey , then I
will make you rich!
Dangote ’ s wealth today was not
meant for a Christian
businessman who was too
proud, too fixated in his mind to
offer the “flamboyant man of
God”, the “prosperity
preacher” his seat .My question
is, if you were there on that
plane , would you have taken
the blessing?Enjoy your day.
Nothing in life is worth fighting
for. Your best clothes is
someone's rag,your account
balance is someone's donation
at a function, your girl friend/
boy friend or fiance/fiancee' is
someone's Ex. Every single
prostitute you see in a hotel or
on the street at night was at
some point in time a virgin. So
what is the squabble all about?
Life is too small to feel bigger or
better than anybody. We're all
naked to death says Steve Jobs.
Nothing can save us from it. I
hate to see people who Brag
about wealth, beauty,
intelligence, level of education,
fame and material possessions.
There's nothing you've achieved
in life that no one else has never
gotten.
There's only one thing that is
worth bragging which is
"BELIEVE IN GOD ALMIGHTY".
SO BE GOOD TO YOUR FELLOW
MAN AND ALWAYS MAKE
FRIENDS. Always remember that
the people you trampled upon
on your way up a ladder will be
the same set of people you're
likely to pass on your way down,
so cause no problem for others
because if you do, they'll
become your very problem one
day. Finally, even banana stems
will one day become dried
leaves. God bless you all. |
