Me me me

Gbosa
TemiDayo Nigerians rock keep making nlack people proud world wide
you forgot to mention his collaboration with bill gates to combat polio out of nigeria, it was really a milestone of a philanthropic achievement
1, Bill Gates. 2, Combat polio, period. 3, Out of (n)igerian is redundant and incorrect. 4, Nigeria, not nigeria, okay?
@@sonofra9752 in addition, bill gates should NOT be trusted, no white man for that matter. Bill Gates has been caught up in a massive scandal regarding the sterilization of African women. Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing.
@@fastrecon1 YUP
Any fellow Nigerian aluxers out here?
oma _tko here
We de!!!
oma _tko we de
We dey here.
My man we da here
Alux am surprised this time you went to Nigeria to pick our own Aliko Dangote
Sokoya Abdulazeez me too
Me self oo
👍🏾👍🏾
I am or I'm, ok?
So d’angine is Nigeria properties
I asked for a video about this guy and you delivered, thanks alux
Our pleasure! What do you think of him?!
Alux.com amazing man.
@@alux Africa must unite🎶🎵 he is an example of determination and will. I only hope he or his reps revisit the area of displaced people and compensate them as he did the governor? Culturally he is ecpected to take care of his brothers. The poor are always disenfranchised and poverty is big business and women and children are collateral damage. He is doing great things with jobs, innovation and forward thinking while penetrating cross borders intra Africa!🦁 Marcus Garvey reboot
I just passed in front of his firm in Douala, Cameroon. 0:57 (Major competitor to the government's own CIMENCAM CEMENT) Besides being a billie he's also a great philantropist. What a legend.
12:17 actually Nigeria has 3 billionaires,
Alinko dangote = $14.2 billion
Mike Adenuga = $6.1 billion
Femi otedola = $1.6 billion
Chizzy kings what of Alakija
Sani rabiu
See gap...
Forbes never rated Otedola please
I wonder why otedola is more famous than adenugwa in nigeria
@@ndaali8094 His father was once a governor of Lagos state: Micheal Otedola.
Another fact...
He withdrew USD 10million from his bank account just to look at it
Kwaku Benson Haha 😂
That's very true. He said it in a video😂😂
Lol
Balling is a most.
Yes! He's from my country. Proudly 🇳🇬. A good Mentor to look up too
dangote cement cameroon omggg am from Cameroon thank you Alux for this i feel so honored
Ella mojoko We are using his cement here in Ekona
@@williamrebune5588 where is ekona?
Dangote with capital D, please.
okay this is suprising because am a Nigerian....and am happy we re not invisible....nice work alux
It is better to be invisible to your enemies. Did you not notice how negative this video is?
Okay. I am, not am.
I don't hear negativity... I hear truth! And it's not that special that a Nigerian is spoken of on alux...
Am Nigerian Proud of this guy
I am or I'm, okay?
Proud of a billionaire who threatens people to leave land so he can can more bilions? He should learn a tuibk or 2 from billionaires like Strive Masiiwa and Gates
I'm not Nigerian and I am extremely proud of this man...
Hard work and commitment, no easy road, I'm proud of him.
started from daddy money
Obviously 5:58.
7:44 he tried to fight poverty. really good donating over $1.2 billion in charity at a time
U
And he’s provided jobs for many across Africa.
Number 17:
Aliko Dangote has put a 2020 timeline on his goal of buying Arsenal Football Club. (Forbes)
ALUX please make more african millionaire & billionaire content
African with capital A.
Thank you Alux. Africans are ignored almost everywhere but you took your chances. The future is Africa whether they like it or not. By the year 2100 40% of the people in the world will be African
Thanks U Alux I was waiting for this video a while ago!
Greetings from Nigeria 🇳🇬. Nice video, I really did find some pronounced words funny tho, but now I know a whole lot more about dangote, God bless this man.
Ryan Maduabum
Lagos, for example.
Ryan Ryder if you need more info about Dangote let me know!
Snow Man lol 😂 his great grand dead in 1955 Aliko was born in 1957.
Dangote with a capital D.
@@Asafo_Kofi_The_1st Lagos is a Portuguese word that means - Lakes. The Portuguese pronunciation is LAH-gos, but Nigerians call it LAY-gos. So understand why Americans, who are more conversant with Spanish, which is somewhat similar to Portuguese would say LAH-gos, which was the original pronunciation.
My boy Aliko build that refinery fast no more importation of fuel
Flatearth Fatboy word 😂
Refinery in a wrong eco system!
Thanks for hammering it over 67 times that he lost billions. We get the message.
an individual is doing something the gov. can't do, shame on the part of our gov. Proud of him @dangote
Nigeria rocks, the country isn't as bad as the media portrays it to be.
THANK YOU!!!!!
All of Africa is a shit hole, that’s why millions of people want to leave
Nigeria is a shit hole country
Oh believe me it is. It's really bad.
Shut up i live in Nigeria and i dont want to go to any other country.
He's not Nigeria's first billionaire!!! Former president Sani Abacha was Nigeria's first billionaire.
But Dangote was Nigeria's first legitimate billionaire though :-P
😂😂
Lol
Good, glad to see you guys covering a Nigerian. As for the monopoly, I think it's unequivocal and unjust but we see similar situations in countries like Russia and China, so it's more about playing the game than behaving like a victim. Furthermore, you said Nigeria produced two billionaires but it's untrue there are three other billionaires recognised by Forbes; namely; Folorunsho Alakija (the richest black woman), femi otedola, and Sani Rabiu. Also, the Nigerian business environment is arranged like an oligarchy, but despite that there have been several successful people (especially from my tribe; the igbos) who come from impoverished backgrounds, but beat the odds and have become Titans of African Entrepreneurship. Therefore, it's more about diligence and ingenuity. Nigeria is a country more affiliated with innovation and ingenuity than other African countries, so i believe that someday Nigeria will the Wakanda of Africa.
Peter Ezeribe nice write up, but femi otedola is nor a billionaire(around $800-900 million). Also mike adenuga is also another Nigeria billionaire.
The white media are blind to the monopoly in Russia and China.
"The Waka da of Africa"
Gosh can people stop trivializing our countries by mentioning that silly movie?
How old are you? 🤦🏾♀️
Thank You for recognizing Nigeria
They didn't recognize Nigeria, they recognized a Nigerian billionaire!
He has monopolies huh?....ok.....Let's talk to Jeff Bezos about monopolies, then get back to me.
memberofthetribe1 I think you forgot that there's a company called Alibaba....
memberofthetribe1 Monopoly kills small businesses.
Snow Man True!
Thank you so much for this video because to be frank I have been waiting for it for a very long time. I just feel really honored thank you once again Alux.
Am proud of myself subscribing to Alux. Thank you for doing this video on Dangote... We are proud of him
As a Nigerian, l found this extremely awe inspiring. But you guys forgot to add his involvement in an antitrust situation involving certain Banks and Loans received back in 2013. He's quite a character but trust me, there're many more billionaires coming up from around here in the nearest future. Wishes aside, l would be on that List some day. Do a feature on Femi Otedola please.
@Alux.com please do a feature on Femi Otedola of Forte Oil.
Uchenna Olufemi Nwanze
Mike Adenuga
Femi Oteodola
You didn't notice that the video is extremely negative? Stop being desperate for white attention. These people are not your friends.
God bless u my vchildren going to blessed like you ameen ameen ameen
omgggg Alux you killed it with this one Africans on the map am here for it
Okay Alux, you just made my day... I requested for this video once last year and you finally made it. I’m more than happy... I’d love to see a video of me when I’m wealthy and successful. ❤️ Alex
I’m african and I’m inspired
African with a capital A.
I'm African American and I'm inspired!
Mr Aliko Dangote is what hard work and dedication is about. He's blessed. Would want to see him serve his Brotherns more and care for the poor in Africa more.. That is where his fortune will be sustained. 💝🐢⛺🗼🐫🐯🐢💝
Thank you for this Video, I feel we Africans don't know what wealth feels and looks like from our environment. What was liberating in the video was the mention of the different wealthy family members Dangote has. With a profile like that of Dangote, a lot of people in Africa can easily be overshadowed and we can find ourselves not being aware of wealth among our fellow Black People. Thank you for the video once more, I am thrilled to find out about other people as well.
Wow, thank you Alux, there are many good things about Nigeria. The Dangote group is one of them
Finally, Alux made a video about a Nigerian

#7 - 6:01 He was accused of forcing residents off land he wanted to buy
#8 - 6:53 He allegedly receives preferential treatment from the government
#9 - 7:45 He donated $1.5 Billion to his charitable foundation
#10- 8:29 He owns a $45 Million Private Jet
#11 - 9:07 The Dangote group had more than $4.1 Billion in revenue in 2017
#12 - 9:42 He is building a $12 Billion Petroleum Refinery

Glad to see him featured on your channel! Also consider Robert Smith of Vista Equity Partners
I love this channel. Btw u got me with the intro
Lazaro Gomez No he was unman
FINALLY SOMEONE THAT LOOKS LIKE ME 😩🙌🏿👏🏿
i requested this video on a comment sometime back and now its here...thank you Alux
"I requested... now it's here."
Wow, Aliko Dangote! I didn't think I would see him on this channel!
God bless you sir, may your business continue to grow
Dangote inspires me a lot. I will follow his steps.
Everything has a pillar.
Good to see a Alux presenting a Nigerian for the world to see.
I strongly believe in Nigeria no matter what is currently happening.
Agreed 👍
Detailed report. Thanks Alux 👊
Great review by the way there's wayy more than 2 billionaires in Nigeria trust me. There's like 5 or 6 documented but the others not so much lol
Ever since I can remember Dangote has been my inspiration 🥰🥰🇳🇬🇳🇬🎊everytime I see his truck ,every time I use his salt or sugar . Nigeria is blessed 😊
Thanks a lot for granting my wish Alux. You are the bests ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll share this video with my Cameroonian and NIgerian friends.
Our pleasure Damien!
This is a great video, ALux, It’s nice to learn about some of the great men of Africa. When trying to amass wealth in the means of becoming greater sometimes you may do unpopular things. However it’s not how you start sometimes, It’s about how you finish. To me it seems with his philanthropy work he should be able to erase some of the not so popular things that he might have done.
I am a Nigerian. Nothing unpopular about Dangote in His business. Is simply a western media hypocrisy to never want to see any African achieve feats. In a country endowed with crude oil, where every politician want to grab power to siphon state treasury, But for close to 40 years, Dangote has never ever gets close to crude oil business until 2017 when he came to save the country to refine its crude oil product against the practice of exporting crude oil to America for refining and importing the same refined product for domestic use.
It is not good to them we are becoming industrialized.
Thanks @alux happy to see black men on your channel
Sir I love your hard work, and prosperity, God bless you .
Inspired...motivated... aliko and elon my role model😍
Thanks for this... I'm proud of him.
Aliko dangote is best business man in the world
lil You Wish what About thiel,musk or bezos😂
Do one on Isabel dos Santos. The first woman billionaire in Africa, and the richest woman in the continent.
that would be better
We'll add her to the list!
Alux.com thank you
I thought Faloroshun Alakija was the richest in Africa
ill-gotten government wealth...
I've been longing for this video, #thanks@alux for making this video.
Awka Nigeria
Chinedu Anijah awka anambra?
A billionaire that MATTER. #WestAfrica #Naija #Proud
He is a genuine business man. He has a cement factory as well in Ghana, just to remind you (Alux)
Thanks for video....great human
No negatives for this good man
Nice one Alux. Dangote is a genuis
Hey from Jamaica, but I know I'm african.... Proud to see black billionaires.
When you posted this 2 years ago, I thought it was going to be a biased report. Watching it now, its very balanced and is 95% correct.
Whan you are talking about Africa you are talking about Nigeria one love Nigeria 💕💕
I watched the video and I also took time to read several comments made.
I want to add that while monopoly is bad for the nation as it kills small businesses, many people have had some opportunity one time or the other and turned to criminals enriching themselves and their families. Dangote did the following:
1. Brought revenue worth billions of dollars
2. Created a place for Nigeria in the world business market
3. Created jobs for millions of people of which many are millionaires
3. Became a support also for the people of the country through philanthropist
4. Standing in gaps where the government of the country is not measuring up.
I think we should give it up for him.
All these didn't just come by mistake, he proved himself.
Advise: work hard and prove yourself, there is room for more billionaires to emerge.
Thank you.
We are pround of you 😀 in Nigeria.
So inspiring and l wish alux to do a video about my Uganda
If we have 15 Men like Dangote in Africa,Africa might paradise,We need men like Dangote in Africa.
Thanks Alux.com for making this video about the Nigerian billionaire. Amazing facts about Aliko Dangote.
As a Nigerian, I don't think it is right that he has a monopoly on several industries in Nigeria because it eliminates competition to improve quality and value in the market for the customer.
Chigozie Umeozulu exactly
he should Comepete with People Who have Elon musk Bussiness approach
KEEP IT UP ALUX.
Nice one Alux
I am happy Nigeria has a Aliko Dangote a billionaire business in the Forbes 400 list of world billionaires. I like the fact that Aliko Dangote invest in many different businesses. Dangote is very generous because he created a $1.3 billion charity foundation. many businessmen around the world pay for play, meaning they have to give the politician money in order to operate their businesses. I also like Aliko Dangote car collections and Bombardier jet.
Thank you alux ,at last someone from Africa, you know you need to motivate we African youth , we love him
Aliko Dangote is one of the few useful africans. Less talk and more action. Of course there is a shady side about him, but hey nobody is perfect. As for the monopoly issue, i'd rather have him hold monopoly on several nigerian industries than any foreigner. Between very bad and worse i'd choose the former. After all there isn't any african having monopoly on western or eastern industries while the opposite is quite frequent.
leonid Danilovich arkadin
A few useful Africans?
My brother, calm down.
I live in the United States, and I can tell you that only 1% or less are impacting any developed country. The rest are spectators.
It is much harder to be a DANGOTE in Africa, than a Bill Gates in North America.
In other words, DANGOTE for instance could have been ten times wealthier if he were doing business in North America or Europe.
On the flip side, Bill Gates may not have even appeared in the record books, if he hailed from Nigeria.
In a nutshell, I revere a millionaire in Africa, than a billionaire in Europe or America.
leonid Danilovich arkadin well said bro... Especially monopoly in Africa at large cos this so called "European and western friends" as well as former colonies are exploiting the F**k out of us
Few useful Africans??, sorry to give you a newsflash but there are lots of "useful" successful Africans, who just refuse to be flamboyant but instead keep a low profile (especially in Nigeria).Plus the reason why there are less useful Africans in the first place is due to the footprints of corrupt governance left by our colonial white government. This has left many Africans to be impoverished, but despite that!!, There are still several success stories, just imagine what could occur if there was a similar and just government like the western nations, with all the hunger and courage of most Africans. Another reason is the brain drain, as some of our best minds are flown to and employed in developed countries. In case you didn't know Nigerians are the most successful ethnic group In the US. So be careful before you judge.
Clearly you do not know much about Africa. Part of being useful is being able to make accurate judgements and saying the least about the things you don't know.
Your comment looks credible but it is actually fraught with false allegations and unfounded conclusions.
Please can you provide evidence about the shady things he has done?
Great vid keep it up
Thank you!
What an amazing person! I see how he has his great grandfathers genes, (financially). This guy is awesone, and i am proud of him.
Hell good BUSINESS very good BUSINESS economic superpower nicely done
Watching form Kenya billionaire in the making.
Great. Many thanks Alux. Well, this video will require an update, including on the project of 12 billion dollars.
Man like aliko 🙌
I greatly appreciate & Admire Aliko Dangote. He is very inspiring to me.
Thank you Alux. Please do more African content
Aliko Dangote is the 24th richest man in the world; He's worth 25 billion dollars.
Awesome!!! Dangote is truly a great African and a wonderful Nigerian. So happy to be a Nigerian. Thanks Alux.
Not sure of nor in support of his controversies though.
This man is true son of the soil! All Africans love him!!!
alux can you give me the name or url of the soundtrack of your video about dangote
He has done more for the country than any politician or leader. #TeamDangote
Hell yeah. It takes a lot of work to do 5:58.
Excellent video
Wow! A Nigerian
Excellent!
Thanks for excepting my request
Am happy for the success Aliko, God do it for me i will also like to help people
Can you do lord Alan sugar and Marcus Lemonis next??
I believe Dangote earned his position in the Nigerian market and there's nothing wrong with him having a monopoly in the African market.
AMORUE DANIEL Monopoly kills small businesses. Plus we not sure if dangote is white man's agent.
Well he's done a phenomenal job with his own industry and several others. If he's going to improve the ones he has control over and build Nigeria's economy, create more jobs and opportunities and space for innovation in Nigeria, then what's the harm?
He is excellent entrepreneur,best model to African youth,charitable and firm too.
Wonderful :-)
A great business man weldone to him!
