5th Lesson Use your Northern connections to bend policies to suit you so that you can create a monopoly and control production. Meanwhile encourage people to use your "500k investment capital from your uncle" story to deceive youths who do not know that a brand new car then was less than 10k which approximate value today is not less than 5m. Which means your uncle gave you about N500m today's worth of cash plus free Export/Import licenses to stay ahead 95 Likes 11 Shares |

The difference between rich and poor is not the money, it's the way of thinking He has three children, no wahala of many children bothering his life so he was able to focus One official wife, he might have others we did not know, but no too much wife bothering him so he was able to focus I am yet to see him brag about a Gucci belt or watch like Richly poor huspopi Moral lesson- don't chase money, just chase wisdom to navigate life and get adequately informed and required insight and a big heart that can carry any risk.. I rest my case 19 Likes 4 Shares |

Dangote is entrepreneurship personified. He is an inspiration for all seeking to shine as entrepreneurs. However, Dangote is in a world of his own... From the resources he got to start, his way with government et al... With plenty money and solid goodwill, challenges aint a damn thing! Same challenges that sinks most people will not do you no shit if you've got a Dangote standing. With enough money you are blessed! You can start an innocuous thing and run it like a boss and have it flourish with a striking bang. With money, the best advisers, strategists, researchers etc are at your service and with a little wisdom you will continue to prosper. But, give it to the man! He has managed well, stayed drama/scandal free and keeps pushing for higher heights. He knows how to make good ideas work and keeps going from hero to hero... take out time to relax and chill too because life is short. Thats where to draw inspiration from. What's tha business? 1 Like 2 Shares |

The majority of people here made their money through oil. But Dangote has never ever dealt in oil, which is to prove that you don’t have to be in oil. In Nigeria, oil has really damaged our thinking. Everyone is thinking about oil, oil, oil. And we are one company that has made a success without doing that But you want to open your refinary. It means there still a fortune in oil 1 Like |

ITbomb: What is this one saying? Is Dangote the only beneficiary of government patronage? Igbos especially under Obj also benefited from patronage as well Ifeamyi Uba is also a beneficiary of patronage Same with other tribes in Nigeria as well (Yorubas especially eg Otedola) Yet out of all of them, Dangote stands out. You have to give him some credit, as the biggest single employer of Labour in the private sector 12 Likes 1 Share |

ITbomb:Inasmuch as what you wrote may not be far from the truth,but you gotta doff your hat to Dangote for being visionary which is what many African entrepreneurs lack.His uncles 'loan' and connections may have given him an enormous and unfair headstart but it takes more than that survive, grow and prosper in Africa. 7 Likes |
