Congratulations to him, One thing i like about this man is his humility and his detribalized nature.

simply put, Dangote is a detribalized Nigerian. The man treats everyone equal no matter their ethnic background. I know of a senior staff at Dangote group who always emphasize on this.

^^^So you're saying he treats all Nigerians the same......at all levels of his conglomerate, and considers the entire country when locating his industries?

well, I wouldn't say that for the latter, but on the aspect of appointments;yes sir. Because the company does not have much investments in the south Eastern part of this country.

^^^If you feel there's no basis for my question, why don't you tell me how he's detribalized! Or you want to sit there and claim tribalism isn't a major factor in many political and business decisions in this country?.......keep your head stuck in the sand!

He is Dangote, Am Jonathan Charles. We really have nothing in common so it wouldn't be a bad thing if I say "How does it affect me?"

In a country like ours, I don't count the extreme rich ones as wealthy, they are just bunch of underground thieves in my opinion. You climb reach 23rd in the world but your village has no impart of your wealth and humility? Just so not right in my perspective.

Congrats to him though but if from the story dantata told me a few years back of how his father(dangote's mother elder brother) gave a loan of 300K to him for business and he paid under 3months, I keep doubting the clarity of his wealth upon physical evidence and proof of his business empire...Am just being too Critical I guess.

I have nothing against people praising the man, but i'll call them to explain when they start saying he's detribalized and all that!

People think they're smart when they start harping on about how he's doing Nigeria proud and stuff! He's doing Hausa/Fulani proud.......and maybe Yoruba as well! Tell me why i as an Igbo man should be proud of him?.......Go on, tell me!!
