Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has explained that his ion for an industrialized Nigeria is the sole reason he doesn’t have houses outside Nigeria.

During a media parley at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State, Dangote revealed that he once had a London house which he sold in 1996.

He added that “the reason I don’t have a London or America house is solely because I wanted to focus on industrialization in Nigeria.

“I figured that if I had those houses, there will be one reason or the other for me to visit those places thereby causing distraction for me.

“I am very ionate about the Nigeria dream and apart from my Lagos house, I have another one in my home state Kano and a rented one in Abuja,” he revealed.

In her closing remarks, the Group Executive Director, Commercial Operations, Fatima Dangote, commended Mr Dangote for never giving up on the Nigerian dream.

She added that “I have not seen anyone as hardworking as my father, sometimes I wonder how he never gives up.

“I wish we have a few more men like my father in Nigeria, the country will be a better place,” she said.

Its a lie, he owns a house in London, he owns a house in Lagos and has ran away from his state and settled in Lagos because of poverty and insecurity in his tiny state. He is living in Lagos because tinubu built Lagos and his state governor refused to build Kano.

Do you even reside in Nigeria?

Due to insecurity, no.

Imagine.

Yes he does

You're focused on building Nigeria's economy. We appreciate your dedication, Dangote!

Elon Musk owns less....

No wahala, your love for Naija dey strong well well.

You can say anything about Dangote, but one thing you cannot deny him is his genuine love for Nigeria.

If all the public office holders stealing from this country had been investing their loots here, we would've had a much better country.

another igbo madness

They are never complete without mentioning tinubu who singlehandedly defeated them

Who needs a house when you have a yacht?

Plus, for HNI's , owning houses (across the world) that they hardly live, costs more than just leasing a mansion/ luxury apartment or a 5 start hotel suite.

Nigeria has 0 to low level property taxes (land use charge), so it makes sense to stay.

A lot of added costs & obligations come with owning a property abroad.

Look it up.

Hmm

Nigeria is the hub, where he can do and get away with anything.

This man is killing Nigerians with the price of cement. He made himself cement price setter and other producers are his price takers

Chai the ion for NGN has consumed him 😁

Honestly, are you okay

Estate & death taxes are killing.

Abroad isn't like Nigeria that you have 30 houses. If there was heavy estate tax, one wouldn't hear :

" former director caught with 52 houses" (seen at least 5 cases)

Ike Ekweremandu, Timpere Sylva of Bayelsa were named with over 40 houses each. Late Ajimobi, former governor of Oyo, his children couldn't continue paying his house tax in the USA.

UK listed some properties belonging to dead people (some of them Nigerians). The death & estate taxes are so high that, I'm sure many weren't claimed eventually.

How can they invest it? Don't you know they'll forfeit it when caught by Law Enforcement? It's simple na

But you have big businesses and real estates outside Nigeria sir.

Dangote is a patriotic Nigerian with the interest of Nigeria at heart..


Meanwhile, the IIGB0 C R I M I N A L called Allen Oyeamma can not even step his crooked in his Atlanta house in the US because he bough the house with stolen money from Nigeria

Hmm, that is a good one. Nigeria and Africa is fertile land for serious industrialists.

Why is he telling us these...


I think EFCC is dusting his files. We will soon hear...


Emefele diverted $10.5 to Dangote refinery. EFCC swoop to arrest Aliko Dangote

Moreover, this their underground rubbish has caused fuel scarcity and pms is now 850 per liter in my area.
