Aliko dangote will bounce back to first position Soon


It's not only Aliko dangote, the net worth of Rabiu and Adenuga also dropped.

The devaluation of naira last year by CBN has badly affected their wealth because our currency has lost its value against the dollar.

the billionaires have most of their businesses in Nigeria and when they convert the value of their businesses from naira to dollar, they would have lost value.

I blame This government with bad monetary policy

Dangote is the richest man in Africa today. This report you are reading from is fake, and if you go through it, you will notice they can't provide the link to the so-called Forbes report. You can google Forbes yourself to check who is the richest African. It is Aliko Dangote.

Check also on Bloomberg.

what are the bad monetary policies? Treating Fulani billionaires like the rest of us by ensuring they don't have special privilege to access dollars at N250 while the rest of us get it at N750 is bad policy?

Anytime l see DANGOTE name for Rich man list, l just laugh........
If the market is open and made competitive in Nigeria, DANGOTE no go carry 10.
He just dey enjoy government patronage and free tax.
Once you thief enough money for Nigeria, especially polithiefcians, carry am run under DANGOTE in the name of investment and you are safe.
Kudos to him though, for playing is card well.

It is time to give up on this victimization theory, Nwanne. No one is restraining anyone. Banks will only lend you money if you can repay it. Ibeto was never interested in production; instead, he preferred to import cement. Leave it out; Dangote is a real man.


nnamdi640:
You should be ashamed of yourself, a tribe that fought war with Nigeria and lost almost everything they have to Nigerian, if your tribe went through that situation, they wouldn't have gotten to the level the people you are talking about are presently. Just give them time and see for yourself. Beside, Dangote is where he is now as a result of the favor he got from Nigeria government, same thing with Abdulsamad Rabiu the chairman of Bua cement. Ibeto cement was competing with them, immediately they discovered that it was owned by an Igbo man, they killed it. Dangote made his money when Abacha made him the only man that was to import rice into the country. Again hope you know that Dangote refinery is built on the loan Dangote got from 4 banks with the help of Federal government, no other person in Nigeria has access to such loan and here you are praising him as if without fg he can get to that level.

Rabiu na the only real Dollar billionaire from Naija. He does business ethically as well.

I remember arguing with someone last year when he said Dangote refinery will be operational latest May 2023 and will sell fuel at N150/Litre instead of N180.

Folks, that refinery will not refine a single litre of PMS until the market price hits N1,000 plus. That's when he will start producing.

I read where they said their catalytic unit for Diesel is ready but Petrol unit will take a while.

nah I blame the Rich business people for their drop in networth in $, once the business community in Nigeria does not know that if they don't pressurize the government of which 70% of them are also politicians cum business men to do the right thing with the economy, their networth will keep on dropping.

When will Orient Petroleum Peter Peter Obi commissioned 14 years ago produced it first litre of fuel ? 14 years n non of you igbos is asking question but immediately Dangote refinery is mentioned you miserable lot will start hyperventilating as if you are cursed from the pits of hell.



He’s well within his rights to question the legitimacy of Dangotes’ business dealings and his source of wealth! While Orient Petroleum is strictly a Anambra affair, Dangote on the other hand is taking advantage of….and stealing from ALL Nigerians!

To ask about Orient Petroleum and it’s operations is just showing your ignorance of the toxic business environment south-east or Igbo-owned high-profile businesses operate in! Why not also ask what happened to Ibeto Cement that was ran out of town so Dangote could monopolise the sector in peace….that was till the coming of BUA Cement! The same envy and hate that was responsible for undermining Ibeto Cement was also responsible for the 13% oil derivation payments due to Anambra being paid to Delta State…..FOR YEARS, that is until Governor Obiano put his foot down and demanded an end to the injustice! That same envy and hate also led to high yielding oil and gas fields in Igboland being surgically sliced off and placed in Rivers State for the Ijaw to manage in trust for the ‘ndi liberators’ and ‘owners of Nigeria’ who, from 1970 to date, have gained the most from the exploitation and sell of hydrocarbons in the Niger-Delta!

I can tell you for free that if the Yoruba or Fulani (i know you’re from either of these two ethnicities) faced the kind of hatred, envy and anti-Igbo scheming Ndigbo have faced at the hands of the Yoruba/Fulani hegemonic alliance, that by now they’d be nothing more than a footnote in the history books! The fact Ndigbo have weathered all this hate and still managed to keep our heads above the water, while making the modest and impressive achievements we’ve made, is a testament to our entrepreneurial spirit and dogged determination as a people!

See! if not for bad governance Nigeria no suppose dey drag anything with those mushroom African countries. There is something about the Nigerian people that makes them far better than their fellow blacks not just in Africa but around the world.

Nigerians believe in being in the best in anything they do, this is why there is some touches of supremacy battle between the three major tribes.
