Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote says he withdrew $10 million just to look at it and convince himself that he is rich.
Speaking at the Mo Ibrahim governance weekend ongoing in Abidjan, Dangote said he knew he was rich on paper, but had to find out to convince himself that he was indeed rich.
To do this, the multi-billionaire said he drove to a bank, withdrew $10 million, took it home, put it on his bed, looked at it, and returned it back to the bank the following day.
“The way it is that when you first start business, your target is to make your first million. Fine, I did that,” Dangote told Mo Ibrahim.
“After a year or so, I realised that I had much more, and I said ok, fine, all these numbers are just written numbers.
“One day I went to a bank, and at that time, there were no restrictions, and I wrote a cheque and cashed $10m from the bank and put it in the boot of my vehicle, and I went home and I opened it and I looked at $10m and I said ‘now I believe I have money’.”
Dangote added that he took it back to the bank the next day — after his mission was concluded.
The Nigerian businessman is has been the richest man in Africa for nearly a decade, following the expansion of his cement business, and the change of model to focus on local manufacturing.
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Dangote is the 74th richest man in the world as of April 6, and he is valued at $16.4 billion.

So when you meet someone that is the definition of kindness, of partnership, of love, of understanding, it just makes life easy. I think that is when you know somebody is for you, when it is not hard, when you don’t have to beg someone for attention, when you don’t have to communicate with you, they love what you do, they push you. It feels effortless.
So we were friends. We were introduced by a mutual friend, comedian Chigurl. She has got the spirit. I don’t know how many marriages Chioma has got under her belt. She was I have a guy that really likes you. We always joke and call you Slaynab. So we met, we had coffee. I wasn’t sure so I was like we should just be really good friends. We just built a really good bond and he became someone that I would talk to all the time” she said.
On the first meeting with his children, Zainab said,
”At first I was Aunty Zainab and I remember my husband saying they really like you. I was like how can you tell and he was like suddenly, they are performing for you. They normally don’t do that. Then we started spending time together, doing all the fun stuff”
Zainab Balogun recounted how the boys cried when they were told that their father was going to marry her.
”I will never ever forget when we told them that we were going to get married. It was such a special moment. I remember they were sitting down and I was recording, they didn’t know I was recording and I said to them that me and Daddy are thinking getting married.. so how would you feel if I became your mum and we got married? It was so weird they burst into tears. They were so happy and for me, it just made sense” she said

A young Nigerian man who was pretty desperate to make quick money has landed himself in trouble after he was caught stealing a woman’s panties in Ifo area of Ogun state.
The sad incident which took occurred on Thursday evening attracted a large crowd – according to reports, the man was disgraced as he was stripped n*ked and beaten by residents who paraded him in public.

A young newlywed returning from her honeymoon died in the sky after an airline pilot repeatedly refused a doctor’s requests to land, court papers claim.
Brittany Oswell’s family say a doctor on board the flight from Honolulu, Hawaii, requested that the plane land three times after the 25 year-old suffered a pulmonary embolism, a potentially fatal blood clot blocking an artery between the heart and lungs.
But the American Airlines pilot reportedly refused to divert flight during the April 2016 medical emergency, it is claimed.
Oswell stopped breathing in the air, and was taken to Baylor Medical Center in Texas as soon as the jet landed. The aspiring nurse, who had just married husband Cory Oswell, died in hospital three days later.
Brittany’s family are now suing American Airlines, saying the flight should have been diverted, and that a faulty defibrillator on board further hindered her chances of survival.
Her mom Tina Starks, from Columbia in South Carolina, told the Honolulu Star Advertiser: ‘She needed that plane to land so she could get care from an actual hospital, not on the flight.’
Explaining the heartache caused by her daughter’s sudden death, Tina added:
‘You never get over this.
‘You know how to manage your pain and that’s a daily, hourly, minute-by-minute process.
‘You have to live in a reality that you don’t want to participate in.’
Brittany’s father Chris Starks also hit out at American Airlines for not responding to them beyond acknowledging their lawsuit after Brittany’s death.
They want flight attendants to receive minimal medical training and regular tests performed on on-board medical equipment to ensure it is working.
The Starks’ case was transferred from a court close to their South Carolina home to Fort Worth in Texas on March 27.
A judge explained that locating the case close to where Brittany died, and near American Airlines’ corporate headquarters would make it easier to facilitate witnesses.
Nollywood actres and mother of one, Tonto Dikeh, has claimed that the rumour that Olakunle Churchill was one of Obasanjo’s sons is totally false.

She also revealed that since the allegation of selling the Prado Jeep was filed before the Inspector General of Police, her lawyers haven’t received any notice on the issue.
This makes her to believe it is all a media campaign of calumny.

Following the viral reports that teen actress, Regina Daniels, just like ex-beauty queen and cosmetologist, Dabota Lawson, has gotten married to billionaire politician, Ned Nwoko, there’s just some things the lovely needs to learn from the ex-beauty queen.
The teenage actress’s wedding secretly took place in Asaba, Delta State, and reports have it that guests were told not to take pictures.
According to the reports, Regina is the sixth wife of the 59yr old billionaire – the union has been linked to why Regina Daniels has been flaunting a lavish lifestyle on social media by showing off two brand new Mercedes Benz, a Rolex wristwatch and a new house all in the space of a month, despite only featuring in few low budget movies.

I’m not so thankful, I wish I made better decisions and was careful before getting involved with certain things and certain people.
“I wish I could see the future of how some of my poor decisions will stay hunting me because they actually do everytime I win or do better it’s because I chose to and I took a right turn, not always because I’ve learned a lesson”
Budding Nigerian female rapper, Pryse has said in a now deleted tweet that Victoria Kimani was in order to call out Tiwa Savage in her #fvckchallenge.
Pryse affirms that Tiwa Savage ‘blocked’ Victoria Kimani from a show and as such, she’s not a fan of women slit shaming other women.
She wrote in a tweet,
When a female artiste says to show promoters, “I will only perform at your show if I’m the only female artiste on the bill.” What do y’all call that? That shit happened. A calling out was in order
That being said, I don’t agree with women slut shaming other women. That sucks. Shoulda gone another way with the narrative.
An insider who also spoke with KFN, affirms the above-mentioned claim by Pryse – according to the insider, the beef is simply because Tiwa Savage once questioned why popular show promoter, Paul Okoye would line Victoria Kimani and Emma Nyra on the same show he’s booking her for.
Read scoop below,
“It’s common knowledge that Tiwa savage has been blocking other female artists from shows in order to be the only woman on the bill …. Female artists are too afraid to speak out …. perhaps because of the backlash despite all of this …… all of the women are still thriving !! Victoria kimani personally didn’t want to say anything either because it’s water under the bridge and forgiveness is key …. the challenge went abit too far but the underlying facts are still the same …. it’s a horrible motive and a rotten agenda to try and paint a false image that there are no other Talented and deserving female artists in AFRICA
It was further learnt that the dou have a ‘low-key’ wedding which was attended by few family members and friends of the ‘couple’.
