Sh*ck As Dangote Admits He Never Knew Mr Eazi Owns Businesses Across 18 African Countries

Nigerian billionaire and Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has revealed that he had no idea singer Oluwatosin Ajibade, popularly known as Mr Eazi, runs businesses in as many as 18 African countries.

Dangote made the disclosure while giving a speech at the much-talked-about wedding of Temi Otedola and Mr Eazi.

In the viral video making rounds online, the industrialist praised Mr Eazi’s entrepreneurial drive, predicting a wealthy future for the couple.

“I never knew you had businesses in 18 countries across Africa. I must really congratulate you for being such a great guy. Knowing how charming and entrepreneurial both of you are, I believe in the coming years we will gladly take the back seat and call you the richest people on earth,” Dangote said.

He also spoke fondly of his close relationship with Femi Otedola, chairman of Geregu Power and First Bank, saying:
“Femi is not only my friend, he is my brother. Where you see me, you see Femi. If there is any brother I have that is not of the same mother and father, that brother is Femi.”

Meanwhile, Dangote Industries Limited (DIL) has once again cautioned truck operators against the unauthorised use of its company logo, stressing that the illegal practice has repeatedly led to reputational harm.

The company lamented that despite several warnings, some unaffiliated truck owners still brand their vehicles with Dangote’s logo for personal or undisclosed purposes, leading to cases where such trucks — wrongly assumed to belong to Dangote — were linked to accidents and criminal activities.
