Aliko Dangote to invest $2.3bn in northern Nigeria, hopes it will help with BH scourge

Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, says he would be investing $2.3bn in rice and sugar production in the north. The billionaire industrialist made this known yesterday at the just concluded World Economic Forum, WEF Africa.

He said creating job opportunities is the surest way to end the Boko Haram scourge. He also revealed that he would be investing a total of $12billion in Nigeria, and $4bn outside the country over the next four years.

    ..mehn,@lindaikeji, your blog is full of viruses ie flash player update and links, and you allow people to post contaminated links on comments. With all the money u making you should at least invest in proper website layouts, navigation et all.
    Even to see your contact info is not easy(imagine that on your own website) and it takes ages for your pages to load. Also think about ways to protect your readers from malicious intentions.

    Dat is nice but, sir how can you really think of investing in d north when we still have all dis crises there? Before creating job and all dat there what about d ppl being educated? Before creating jobs there, don't u think dat we should 1st resolve d matter at hand and make all this adoption and killing stop? If we are all killed who den will do job? There is something that keeps me wordering why nigeria present and passt leaders are not even worried about dis whole thing dat is happening b/c things u expect them to come out and say is not what d will say. Goodluck was too blind to know dat d poeple he was working with doesn't like him even from d 1st, dey plan his death and downfall under him . Tell me d last time u see an igbo man as a prest in dis country? Is after yoruba it will pass to housa and we igbos keep serving them. Now d came up all dis wahala just to furstrate him out of d sit and we igbo are being so ignorant dat we are against our own brother saying a lot of nonsense against him. Where are ur brothers goodluck? D warri and niger ppl? D have all left u to die alone in abjua. Only our warri boys are engf to fit dis deadly boko haram group, but all d bad advisers u suuround ur self with won't even let u think of what to do. Open ur eye and see what's happening b/c 2015 is here d want you out. God less nigeria.

    Most rich northerners hardly invest in the north, cos when push comes to shove their enemies send boys to destroy their properties. Same goes here, investing a trillion won't stop this sh*t, it is educating the boys not necessarily through school that violence doesn't pay.
