Africa's Richest man, Aliko Dangote whose 2015 networth was put at $21.6billion by Forbes has said he has no residential property outside Nigeria.
Aliko Dangote stated this during an interactive meeting with senior media executives in Lagos during the weekend.
He said,
"Somebody asked me, how many houses do you have abroad? I said well, to tell you the good news, I don't even have a nine-inch block outside Nigeria and that is the truth. I don't have a house anywhere abroad".
Dangote also narrated his meeting with late M.K.O. Abiola who discouraged him from mixing media interests with other business interests,
He said,
"I went to see Abiola and I said to him, you look a bit worried. And he said he could not sleep because of a publication.... How many times will I be chasing reporters and running my business. Let me advise you, don't go and do this newspaper business".
