Inspiration: World’s Richest Black Man, A. Dangote Midas Touch [Rise To Wisdom] (Page 3)

Isn't it former president Obansanjo that awarded him the monopoly of cement distribution in Naija?  Let him use the wealth to make Africa proud.  Produce an African car that can compete with the Koreans and Europeans.  Ensure constant electricity so business will thrive....

@ Cruzing & Ksurrina, though most or all what you said aren't true except your biblical quotes which are on point but still, that doesn't insinuate that I'm barking up the wrong tree.
1) I chose him because Nigerians complain a lot about the  bad government, instead of them getting off their butt from the floor and do some work. 2) Some of you are trying to be religious which ain't the concern of this post yet still, the Bible doesn't say that money is the root of all evil if not, the sins of Adam will be base on money/wealth and not on disobedient. But the Bible says; the love the passion of it that's with so much intensity can make one turn his back from the Gospel. Mind you, even in the Bible be it new or old TM or even at the early disciples will have some well to do brethren, stinkily rich. 3) Here the point is using what you have in doing good unto others to the glory of God. It may not be money/wealth, even the last change in your pocket or the knowledge acquired, the happiness you share and so on can go a long way effecting and uplifting lives. All will become vanity upon vanity if anyone fails to recognise that his blessing of whatever kind he have is meant to bless others.
Alright now knowing that wealthiest may be rich not in a bad sense; inversely, the poorest may covet to become rich. It isn't so in the case of Aliko Dangote. This man at his tender age from his primary school started hustling for his daily bread by shank's mare. Owing to the fact that every dog have his day, his hustling paved through when he meant his uncle.

The man in question with a Midas touch is a good example. He always gives cheerfully without any regret. Each time he's being invited for any occasion, he always contribute his own quota to the less privilege. Recently, last week precisely, he attended a summit organized by Pres. Jonathan he came to the podium to air his view, he said: 'since this project is meant for the upbringing of some of the less privilege - he will contribute N50 - N100 million. And that is what we are talking about, okay!

The little I know is that government were shocked about the progress this man has made so far then decided to give only him license while they snubbed others. This ain't good on their side because, since there was no more competition everything started skyrocketing. Too bad!
