To all Dangote's security personel:PEACE !!!!:) i did not come near the billionaire's dwelling place: this is just a figment of my imagination.

it appears Alhaji Dan was speaking to one of his top aides:

Alhaji Dan: Kai! can you imagine Alhaja waziri and mallam sanusi trying to embarrass me because of common 30naira....sorry i mean 3billion.

Adviser: Alhaji, they are very sorry! i don't think it was intended to mess you up!

Alhaji: but i told Cecelia in the re-union with Michael and Nduka(early this month) that the N399b for the refinery project in Niger will be used to finance that part of the debt. Does she think it is only her bank that will work for me?

Adviser: sorry sir!

Alhaji:let me talk to Stratis bank south africa.

Adviser: Sir is there anything i'm supposed to know?

Alhaji: have you forgotten 307million dollar debt-equity deal with Maersk? you think i will disturb my self with this Abuja nonesense wahala!

Adviser: NO sir! you are very capable!

Alhaji: thank you Sule!

the moral of the story: billionaires will always be billionaires!
1. they are driven by passion to make more money
2.they are hard and smart workers
3. they are not easily discouraged by financial set backs and lots more.

can i have your own observations?

Honestly i feel you seriously X-2-X,
i have not found any clean and trusted biography of any Nigerian billionaire to read.
non of them has caught my attention. the only billionaire that can interest me is the person who got all his/her money on merit, without under-handed corrupt moves either with the government or the banks.
i know there might be some, but i am not certain of any yet.
because of this its challenging for me to following their foot steps or use their philosophies...

Well, I think we should be positive in our approach of this matter, firstly.

Are there billionaires who have made their money in a clean way, I believe so. Mind you, Dangote is world acclaimed as a billionaire by FX times or whats the name of the company that runs mags on list of billionaires and I think he is the only Nigerian in the first 400 list worldwide. Its so easy to write discrediting stories of people so it might be hard to find the positive stories. That doesn´t mean that most of our billionaires are thieves. The theives can hardly invest money since they did not make it by investments so lets be discreet.

Moral, be slow to discredit people.

Nextly, its not not right to view billionaires as greedy first of all. Its easy to call them greedy when you are poor. One day you will be rich and do not be surprised that no matter how hard you try some one around will see you as greedy. What goes around, comes around.

Hmmm... a speaker once said... What you respect.. you will attract.

While i understand that it is so easy to bash some of these Nigerian Billionaires. I also know that they have exposed themselves to a high level of risk in order to make such amounts.

the fact is that those of us on the other side are not as risk seeking as them. A quality that is essential anywhere to make money. lots of money!

@ X-2-X i have carefully chosen my list of billionaires. i doubt if any of the names listed were involved in that TAM(turn around maintenance) fraud on our refineries. these are men you can with a bit of ease you can point to their legitimate business.

you can take me up on any of the names i have mentioned in my post!
