Social media users are reacting to a wide ranging interview that Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote gave to the Financial Times, in which he shared the vision of a $12 billion oil refinery he is building, his ambitions to buy Arsenal and why he is considering taking on a new wife.
With a fortune estimated at $14.1 billion, the CEO of the Dangote group which has significant business interests in cement production across Africa and agriculture back home is ranked the 100th richest person in the world by Forbes.
A wife for Africa’s richest man?
In the interview with the Financial Times Africa editor, David Pilling, 61 year old Dangote who is twice divorced and has three grown up children intimated that he might need to take a new wife to help him ‘calm down’.
Right now, things are really, really very busy, because we have the refinery, we have the petrochemicals, we have the fertiliser, we have the gas pipeline.I need to calm down a bit.
“I’m not getting younger. Sixty years is no joke,” Dangote told the Financial Times, “but it doesn’t make sense to go out and get somebody if you don’t have the time.’‘
