His granpa Dantata, was the richest west african trader back in the 20th century. Dangote has taken family legacy to the world stage.

Denzel Washington once said *"TO get what you never had before you have to do what you never did before"*

Wealth is passed down one way or another through the mind or monetarily

Dangote said he gave what he inherited to charity at a tender age😂🤣😂Oh my God.

You studied in Egypt and started your rice and sugar business by importing them and still you said you started from the scratch. Hmm, my oga you needs to enter inside naija very well to see what starting from the scratch really is. You will see men that went to a local school, lived in geto and nothing to be called an inheritance or anything to start something with and they will go with zero (0) account balance to to billions example are some of our great musician who has given us (Nigeria) a name. But I appreciate you though because it's not easy. One love.

Got money from Dan tata,nothing from scratch,I remember seeing most trailers passing tru benin city this family have been rich since the beginning of Nigeria

Guys, if you truly believe his story, than you are more gullible than a 1 year old kid lol.

What kinda interview is this, you coulda done basic research on half the questions you asked. To curate better questions

Good interview from Mr Dangota

AMAZING ✊🏾BUSINESSMAN Calm and collective & humble🎩 man

Was very nice speech Love it

This is a bit of a touting title, perhaps the publisher of the videos should make similar titles about the 500 main so called “self made” US business men. Dangote evolves in environments that are far more difficult to navigate than most of his peers industry moguls worldwide.

From scratch? ?? At that age donating all to charity? As a business started and at that age, I found it hard to believe he could donate it to charity. I don't know why Dangote find it hard to admit that it was easy for him cos if family wealth and not that he built from scratch

Awesome to see this guy. Will help a lot of people expand their minds about possibilities. Must be great to inherit wealth. Wish I did. However, donatimg the amount of your seed money - after it has grown into an oak - is not the same as building your fortune from scratch.

Story for the gods!! From scratch indeed

No Nigerian gives his inheritance to charity unless they are financially comfortable and at 8 yrs. I have always heard that he borrowed the money he used to start his cement business from his maternal grandfather and paid back the loan in record time. Most Nigerians kill and fight over inheritance.

Nice one

You can feel the lies in his words. Buying and selling cement lol

Great story 🤝👑

He inherited 100s of millions of dollars did not start from scratch 🙄with money you can bring smart people around you to build

is wealth came as having Buhari ,who gave him importing things to sell to the country alone making huge amount of money, other go for permit where refused, kind of dictorship.

great job my brother

This is why you should put Rwanda on your Backetlist @t

Clicked just to say all he said was Cap

He's a fascinating man.

Believe him or not he Dangote i knew him around 1986/87 when he was building his kareemu ikotun site v.island he his a generous man and his God has been more generous to him & faithful this is the promise of God been fulfilled in his life.he his saying the truth

what is wrong with admitting you had an advantage, just say you wanted to build something that feels authentic to you but dont try and make it seem like you did not already have the advantage of having connections and loads of capital to start your business

He inherited the mindset, he had been exposed and nurtured into a business environment from an early age, he did not need the family money to start his business. If you know the baker ( banker), the candle stick maker ( dealers ) and others, you are good to go.

He was helped by the Nigeria government.

We all know how postwar Nigeria embarked on a federal reparation spending spree where artificial business oligarchs were created in the north and west excluding completely the easterners. The goal was to help non- eastern people catch up to the business levels of the easterners for fear that the easterners should never dominate the economic sector of the country. Even though it was done as such, the easterners due to their natural gifts for business have been able over the years to still bounce back in their way from scratch and all over the world where an easterner is found. That’s called Biafra power!!!

Made from scratch? Am sure he meant to say, from the start of obasanjo ,tenure as president

What building is that. First time hearing about this guy.

Nice

Some Africans believe that only children that suffer are the ones who become successful in future

Baban mu kenan, allah ya tsare ka. Allah ya karama dokaka

Dangote is very good gentleman

Cool

17 million housing deficit you mean?

Good

Biz Man 🇳🇬👍

There are many, many countries in the continent of Africa. So what country is the billionaire man from?

Baban mu may sare kukan mu, allah baka shekaru masu yawa mashu albarka. Ka jima ka taymokon Africa. Muna alfari da kay, allah ya gara ma kochin lafia. Baba Africa kenan

This mam can lia for 🌍.

Brilliant Smart

Dangote can you please send a black Star liner to Haiti

How much is Rice now

Dantata was printing money inside his room, ask the Nigerian government, that’s how money security was introduced. It was dirty money at the start turned genuine money by a man of vision.

Never mind these two.... look at that fabulous view!

Big boss🦍

He did not really start from zero

Dangote sounds a bit selfish when comes to share his history and ideas of prosperity.its not that clear

Politics assisted him too.

If he can buy Arsenal that would be great.

IN NIGERIA, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR MAN TO HAVE SO MUCH WEALTH WITHOUT MASSIVE MASSIVE CORRUPTION.. SORRY ITS FACTS

He surely never read Malcolm Gladwell then?

Most of the things being said by this guy is not true.

💯👌🏽

Iam also ex employ in Dangote

I will be a bilionea one day

🙄🙄🙄 my father and his father and his father's father were all reach but I built everything from scratch😅😅😅 Donald Trump said the same thing.

This man sabi

I tap from the grace that made you wealthy.

I make money easily and effortlessly through multiple sources on a continuous basis,

He is Lying guys, he inherited his wealth from his father's Family.

Built from scratch? 🤣🤣

Yeah right.

Building it from scratch, okay, that's just not true. It takes money to make money.

Government subsidies

those are lies dangote bloodline have been wealthy for very many generations

This is the result of hardwork, dedication, good interpersonal skills and sincerity. Dangote cement remains the best and most reliable product in Nigeria and whole of Africa. A man that doesn't sleep at night, doesn't even have a wife or girlfriend, unlike our generation of Nigerians that sleep too much, imbibe a culture of laziness and dont value hardwork. Hardwork, skills and dedication pays off. I see a lot of haters here saying government supported him, so what? He brought in the initiative before the government mildly supported him. In an era of free markets and stiff competition, Dangote is a silver lining for Nigerians and Africa as a whole. We need to learn from him, that hardwork pays off, commitment and dedication pays off. Not serving as stooges, hooligans and thugs for Politicians. Political power had never brought a group out of poverty to affluence as Somwell said, rather it is economical power that does... Stop hating and get a live. Long live Dangote Long live Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬❤️❤️❤️

🙄 😂🤣😂🤣

No body can make in africa from scratch pls pls dont deceive us pls

Indeed. And let's thank God he hasn't crossed the road of those who in order to build theirs and for the sake of dictatorships they own destroy the little others have build from scratch. Otherwise he may not have been able to build a fortune. They will have make sur his life is ruined.
