I don’t care about the number of ditto heads and hapless jobbers who would come to his defense when this piece plays. But my candid assertion is that the character called Aliko Dangote who prides himself as an entrepreneur is neither that.
Nor is he a brilliant businessman as some are inclined to trumpet. Instead, through and through, he is a criminal, pure and simple. How else would one rightly characterize or designate an individual like him who relies on and exploits the shameful patronage-clientage system that pervades the Nigeria project to steal and loot resources that don’t even emanate from or belong to the part of the land, i.e. the upper Niger where he’s from, to enrich himself in such a crass manner?
Go down the list if you may, what unfolds is the pathetic story of this so-called commodity trader who emerged over-night in stupendous wealth by participating in wholesale “sell-off of state-owned corporations, presidential aircraft” and extensive government-owned property of all sorts. My dossier on him reveals that ever since he was introduced to the persistent scourge, Olusegun Obasanjo—I’ll return to him anon—a few years ago by a certain Igbo carry-go female politician who is now an ambassador somewhere in the British Isles, this criminal has grown more brazen by the day in the ways he steals and loots and carts away the resources that abound in especially other parts of the areas that the British called Nigeria.

While the article might make some sense, I still beg to differ. If he is a criminal as suggested by the post, then I prefer his criminallity in the sense that he still reinvest his loot in Nigeria rather take the loot abroad to buyup oyibo cities, like ibru and countless others. What Mr. Dangote does with his money(loot) every Nigerian see it and earns from it. Do you know how many Nigerias are employed by that guy? And he is even based in Nigeria taking care of business. If every looter in Nigeria will reinvest their loot in Nigeria don't you think that there might not be kidnapping and all that nonsense. In short criticism of that man is an act of hatred and jeolousy, just let the sleeping dog lie. If he is a looter as the post claim, then he is the better of two evils. Just shushhh!
