Courtesy of our women, we now know who Nigeria’s hottest and No. 1 bachelor is – his name is Alhaji Aliko Dangote, the multi billionaire business mogul behind the Dangote Group.
A proud owner of nearly all the good things of life – exotic automobiles, expensive houses, extraordinary private jets, etc – the only thing that the man can’t boast of, for now, is a wife; a Mrs. Dangote that he can return home to and at the close of work everyday.
His fellow billionaires and friends are all married – Femi Otedola of Zenon is married to Nana; Jim Ovia of Zenith Bank is married to Ray and Tony Elumelu of UBA – Awele.
Born on April 10, 1957, the 58year old, in spite of having about four daughters (Fatima, Zainab, Halima and Salma) could not get any of their mothers to live under one roof with him.
YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine investigations uncovered some of the likely reasons for this. The first one is that he doesn’t know who to really trust among all the women that are interested in him. The second one is that he is too engrossed in his business that he hardly has time for women. In fact, there’s this unconfirmed joke that he once travelled with a lady outside our shores and forgot her in the hotel, while trying to fix a mega deal.
The third reason is that he’s become so used to living as a bachelor that he rarely remembers that he hasn’t got a wife. The fourth reason is the difficulty in getting a woman that will really understand him and cope with his life style. And the fifth one – getting married doesn’t rank high on his scale of preference.
Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, is said to be worth over $24 billion. The son of late Mohammed and Mariya Dangote, his business interest cuts across cement, sugar, flour, real estate and oil and gas. A big fan of Arsenal Football Club, he started out as a trader before delving into manufacturing – where he did not only hit it big, but also grew bigger.
The Chairman/CEO of Dangote Group, he attended Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt where he read Business. In love with dominating in any field he’s playing, he’s practically conquered Nigeria’s business terrain and is right now investing in countries like Ethiopia, South Africa and so on.
