I aknowledged the effort of alhaji aliko dangote for emerging the richest man in the africa and 76th man in the world today. I pray may the good lord gives him the strength and the desire to become the richest man in the world just as carlos slim and bill gate in the world today
Paul are the amount in US dollars or another currency?
The amounts are in US Dollars as indicated in the article
I applause Mr. Aliko Dangote if you is giving back to the people in his country to give them a better life and to grow the country because I like to visit there one day.
We wish you luck in your noble plan
I think there are more richer Nigerians, is this list really exhaustive?
This is not meant to be an exhaustive list. We try to showcae the richest 11 in 2011. However we also carry more research to expand the list. The challenges of access to information and record keeping also affects compilation of lists like this.
I want to be associated with Aliko Dangote for the funding of my NGO’S projects.
They need to know how peace must reign in our nation Nigeria.
Also for my personal development and some community development.
Thank you.
Best regards
