in #genius3 years ago (edited)

Introduction

Once again I express my appreciation to this community and it's members for the support and activeness I experience. It's time to make the last post of my contest.
I lastly wrote about Ronaldinho, and now am writing about a genius known for his wealth; Aliko Dangote.

Background of Aliko Dangote

Dangote was born on April 10th, 1957.
He is from Kano, Nigeria and he went to Government College Birnin Kudu and Al-Azhar University. He has been seen and confirmed as the wealthiest person in Africa for over my lifetime.

Aliko Dangote lives in Lagos of Nigeria currently. He has married and divorced twice but currently, He has three daughters namely: Mariya, Halima, Fatimah. He also has one adopted son; Abdulrahman Fasasi

Achievements of Dangote

He Currently has an estimated net worth of about 12.4 billion US dollars. (this was updated on September 2021)

He established a small trading firm known as the Dangote Group in 1977 then he moved to Lagos, Nigeria.

Now, he is a multi billionaire and runs that business in almost half of All African countries. His companies of vast productivity has dominated the sugar Market in Africa, the pastries market in Nigeria and the cement industry in Nigeria. His refineries are scattered nationwide and his wealth increases every minute. Hyperbolically speaking, even a new born child in Nigeria knows Dangote and his achievements.

Notably, he never flaunts cars, jewelries or assets on the internet, just like popular people do. Many firms and businesses people come to him for business plans and advice to thrive. He is an economist and an investment guru.

What I have learned from Dangote

  • It takes only consistency and focus to maintain the position of the richest person in Africa for almost 20 years now. He has done it and no one is nearing that efficiency yet. These two qualities are important to me.
  • Ostentatious lifestyle won't increase one's wealth. Instead, it will dwindle it. I will always strive to improve my life and double my harvest instead of living ostentatiously and unnecessarily flaunting what I have.
  • Business is better done with Like-minded people. Dangote never mingles with clueless people. Whenever I see him on TV, he is always serious with any business on ground. Although I have heard he is a jovial and interesting personality. His friend circle are also people of his caliber and they strive to be successful like him. This teaches me that surrounding myself with positive minded ones will improve my chances of being successful in life.
