ReplyDeleteDangote could possibly declare his riches simply becos his money was derived from a legal source.That makes me so proud of him. There are loads of finacial giants in nigeria whom are way richer than the likes of Dangote,but they simply cannot display their ill gotten money. Such fraudsters should learn to follow the steps of Dangote, aka mr Legitimate! Mr Susan Ibie,I must commend u for your interesting info thar u are feeding your fans with. You are Great.Keep up the good work
