Essence mag profiles Dangote in their '10 things we're talking about' list

Here's what Essence magazine wrote about Africa's richest man in their January 2014 issue...
"Aliko Dangote is putting part of his $16billion to good use. The Nigerian tycoon is building a hospital in his home state, Kano, that will accommodate at least 1,000 patients. And his charity, Dangote Foundation contributed $12million to the Murtala Mohammed Hospital, also in Kano."

      Whatever Kano or Yobe, fact remains he's giving back to the community.
      What did your president do for Bayelsans? Or what did your former president who has decided to become a critic do for his fellow state members in Ogun State, or even his village members in Owu or where he has his farm. More Grease to your elbow Sir Dangote

      @anon 12:06, you want him to build it in Lagos so that tomorrow you tell him to go that Lagos does belong to him right? I'm sure you're FFK. People are getting smarter.

    Smart thinking! Make the money in South West and give back to society (NORTH) in form of corporate social responsibility.

    Rich man in deed, what did he do to become rich. Can he account for his money on day to day, since the day he was born?

    @ Anonymous 3:18pm.... We need to stop this hatred, tribalism etc....he has built a factory in Lagos & Ogun. His Kano people never complained that jobs have been created in these locations. Now, he has just given back a lil bit of it to the people and you are complaining. You know what? You are part of the problem we are facing in Nigeria. We have to be united at all times. I pray for God to touch your heart so you can start thinking rationally. Ewu ten times a day...
