The Biography Of The Richest Black Person, ALIKO MOHAMMAD DANGOTE About the Book The New York-based Forbes magazine had not deemed it fit to include an African south of the Sahara in its List of Worlds Billionaires in its 100-year history until 2008 when the name of Nigerias Aliko Dangote appeared worth $3.3billion. In 2011, Alikos fortune jumped to astronomical $13.8 billion, a 544 % increase in the history of wealth creation. Today, this African is the worlds richest black person worth $16.1 billion. How did he achieve this feat? What were the sources of his wealth? How did a -56-year old half orphan, who grew up in the arid dessert of Kano, northern Nigeria, invest a- $500 loan and turn it into the largest business conglomerate in Nigeria and West Africa in 36 years?. The authors of this book were in Africa for 16 months to investigate the story of this billionaire. The book is purely an independent research and a seminal work by the authors, who managed to resist censorship during their field work, and succeeded in presenting readers Aliko Dangotes secrets of success which aspiring business people ca n learn from in the life history of Aliko Dangote, especially on how to start small and grow big. This is the first and only authoritatively-researched and comprehensively-investigated biography of Aliko Mohammad Dangote, the richest black person in the world. What Are People Saying About This Book? This book is highly recommended to anyone who enjoys learning about how different people of all walks of life become rich and successful, and what it takes to get to the top.

Goodreads, USA Flawlessly written, Dangote stands out as a hallmark of excellent artisanship and knowledgeable chronicling.Bookplex Review of Books, Mumbai, India I am deeply impressed by this workI commend it to all and sundry. Prof. Adebowale Adefuye (PhD), Nigerias Am bassador in the United States, Washington, DC, USA Nigerian Alhaji Aliko Dangote, the richest black person in the world, is a witness to the fact that success as a passionate entrepreneur is not limited by race, ethnicity or national origin. Congressman Jesse L. Jackson, Jr.-(D-IL) 2nd Congressional District, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC, USA In a land lacking a culture of independent biography, this is a starting point and Dangote is a promising introduction to the fascinating and still largely unmapped universe of one of the worlds richest men. The Huffington Post Dangote has trumped long held assumptions, cultural archetypes and stereotypes, to become known as a respected business man, power broker and philanthropist. Hon Gloria Hyatt, Member of the British Empire (MBE), motivational speaker, education, coach and managing director, Teach Consultancy Limited, UK This is a timely book on Aliko Dangote and the positive changes that are taking place in Africa. Prof. Vijay Mahajan, former Dean, Indian School of Business, Hyderabad and currently John Harbin Centennial Chair of Business, McCombs School of Business, University of Texas, Austin USA A must-read manual of success. The Nigerian Voice magazine, The Netherlands This book is a compelling narrative about an exceptional African entrepreneur. Wale Adebanwi (PhD), Associate Professor, of African American and African Studies, and author of Democracy and Prebendalism in Nigeria: Critical Interpretations, University of California, Davis, USA From Aliko Mohammad Dangote, we see that Alikos life is a careful balancing act, in a country where politics by every definition of it is more than everything. Tolu Ogunlesi, author, writer and columnist for The P unch newspapers and winner, 2009 CNN Multi-Choice African Journalism Award, Lagos, Nigeria This is a highly inspirational and engaging book on the success of a rich man. The words are superb and the narrative is engaging. Gloria Espinoza, Adjunct Professor, Dominion University, River Forest, IL, USA Considering that the insubstantial book culture in Nigeria and much of Africa is replete with hagiographies and vanity publications, this researched biography on Aliko Dangote by two respected authors is a most welcome replenishing of a famished bookstore. I will recommend it to my students.
