Who would have thought that a young man with a dream could turn N500K into what has now become one of the largest conglomerates in the world which netted the founder a staggering personal fortune close to $20 Billion dollars, and to think that the majority of this wealth was made right here in Nigeria? Imagine if Aliko Dangote had taken the N500K that his grandfather lent him and instead of starting a business in Nigeria, he decided to travel to the UK or USA to further his studies, settle down there and work for a blue chip company like millions of Nigerians have done? Had he done that, then the Dangote group would never have existed and the nearly 12,000 people who he employs across the group would have been added to the already over stretched Nigerian job market. Aliko Dangote would have become another faceless and nameless Nigerian working for the White man and spending his leisure time on social media insulting Nigerian Politicians. I wonder what Nigeria would have been like if all her sons and daughters who went abroad in the name of furthering their education actually returned home after their studies and got stuck in and helped to rebuild Nigeria? By now Nigeria would have been like South Africa or even Singapore. In the UK alone there are well over 2 million Nigerians residing there both legally and illegally and only God knows how many more millions are domiciled in the United States of America. How many 13 Aliko Dangote’s would we need in order to transform Nigeria? About 2-3 hundred will do. I am so proud of Aliko Dangote, he inspires me especially because I was born in the UK and till date there is no single Nigerian in the UK who has achieved what Aliko Dangote has achieved in Nigeria and that’s a fact. We complain that Nigeria is underdeveloped and that is the reason why the country is not progressing, and yet it is the same Nigeria that produced the likes of Aliko Dangote, a man whose business empire is worth Trillions of naira and counting. Whether its cement production or sugar refining, Dangote is heavily represented, and in recent years he has ventured out of the shores of Nigeria, and has already begun to dominate other African countries such as Ghana, Togo and Benin. Aliko Dangote is a proud African who wears his Nigerian nationality proudly on his sleeves. He is a true industrialist and serial entrepreneur with the uncanny ability to see opportunities in the same place where others see obstacles. An Eagle eyed business man who will stop at nothing until he accomplishes his goals. Let the sons and daughters of Africa join me in celebrating one of our own, a true son of the soil who has made and continues to make the continent of Africa ever so proud.
Let the youth of Nigeria draw inspiration from this enigma of our time, and learn how to spot opportunities in places where others can only spot problems for truly, that is the secret of Aliko Dangote’s meteoric rise in business. It’s high time we stopped complaining about the state of the nation, and start to dream about all that we can achieve for ourselves and for generations yet unborn. When others spent their time criticizing the government, Aliko Dangote spent his, exploring and taking advantage of opportunities. The time has come for us to roll up our proverbial “sleeves” begin to turn or obstacles into opportunities and our slanders into business strategies. Let us draw inspiration today from the life of our brother, our very own Aliko Dangote, Africa’s industrialist. 14
