Have you wondered how rich men celebrate their birthdays? Well, stretch your imagination wider to think of the person as the richest in Africa and the 67th richest person in the world. Ok, enough of the suspense. I am talking about Aliko Dangote, the Nigerian billionaire.
Aliko Dangote was born 10 April 1957. This means yesterday was his 60th birthday. If you don’t know Aliko Dangote, then perhaps you are not accustomed to the distinctive smell of riches. Here is a little bio bout him thanks to Wikipedia: Dangote is ranked by Forbes
Dangote hails from a very prominent business family that lived in Nigeria for many years. He is the great grandson of Alhaji Alhassan Dantata, the richest African at the time of his death in 1955. Aliko Dangote, an ethnic Hausa Muslim from Kano State, was born on 10 April 1957 into a wealthy Muslim family. Dangote said, “I can remember when I was in primary school, I would go and buy cartons of sweets [sugar boxes] and I would start selling them just to make money. I was so interested in business, even at that time.”
His birthday was done modestly and we have some pictures for your viewing pleasure.
