Nigerian business tycoon, Aliko Dangote’s net worth has surged by nearly 100%, reaching an impressive $23.9 billion, Forbes reports.
This leap positions the Nigerian industrialist as the richest person in Africa and the 86th wealthiest individual in the world.

Just last year, Forbes ranked Dangote 144th globally with a net worth of $13.4 billion. The sharp rise in his fortune is largely attributed to his 92.3% stake in the Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals

Wow, that's a completely crazy amount of money. I congratulate you for having achieved so much and come so far. You're admirable, a wonderful person. I hope you continue to grow more and more.

I don't rate Dangote as a Nigerian. His trucks have been killing people everywhere. He can't run his business and not pose a risk to people.

Congratulations for me. I rarely hear an African appearing in the list of top 100 most wealthiest person but this person must have worked hard to appear in the list

I heard about the recent case, it's so unfortunate. I think the problem here is that they do not have well trained drivers. They just pick anyone to drive and pay them peanut. Truck driving is very different from driving your regular car.

I don't think Dangote is responsible for the killing! Most of Nigeria roads is death trap! Secondly, because Dangote is reknown and probably his case will be take to another level.

He himself is definitely not responsible cause at the end of the day there are people he has put in charge to handle this things, they are the ones hiring these drivers who most of them are not even qualified to drive, then there is the issue of the bad roads as you have said, but like you also said, since he is well known, and it's not the first or second time there have been an issue with his truck on the road, people we definitely drag him.

Well, I like that he had also acknowledged his fault in all of that. He has promised to start training and retraining the staff or drivers
