Aliko Mohammad Dangote: The Biography of the Richest Black Person in the World

Aliko Mohammad Dangote

Accolades From Around the World Praise 'Aliko' Biography by Moshood Ademola Fayemiwo and Margie Marie Neal

PRLog (Press Release) - Jul. 15, 2013 - CHICAGO -- Learn how an indigenous African entrepreneur employed the same business acumen of successful people in other parts of the world to build a $16.1 billion business empire in the Third World, and how he emerged as the richest black person in the world.

This is his story: Aliko Mohammad Dangote: The Biography of the Richest Black Person in the World. The authors spent 16 months in arid northern Nigeria to visit Dangote's ancestral home and spoke to ordinary people to find out how he managed to acquire his staggering net worth of $16.1 billion in a nation where the average citizen lives on less than $1 a day.

How did Dangote invest a $500 loan and in 30 years turn it into the largest business conglomerate in Nigeria and West Africa? Aliko Mohammad Dangote doesn't trade in oil and has never been in government. He is the largest employer of labor in Nigeria and West Africa, and is the second largest employer in the African continent. He manufactures cement, sugar, milk and pasteurized milk, noodles, macaroni, spaghetti, tomato paste, fruit juice, flour, bread, rice, and the essential daily food needs of nearly 600 million Africans. He made all his money in Africa and today is the richest black person alive, because he did what Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton did in the USA.

'A highly recommended book to anyone who enjoys learning about how different people of all walks of life become rich and successful, and what it takes to get to the top.' - Readers Favorite Book (Starred Review), USA

'Flawlessly written, Dangote stands out as a hallmark of excellent artisanship and knowledgeable chronicling.' - Bookplex Review of Books, India

'Nigerian Aliko Dangote, the richest black person in the world, is a witness to the fact that success as a passionate entrepreneur is not limited by race, ethnicity or national origin.' - Former Illinois Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr.

'In a land lacking a culture of independent biography, this is a starting point, and Dangote is a promising introduction to the fascinating and still largely unmapped universe of one of the world's richest men.' - The Huffington Post, USA

'Dangote has trumped long held assumptions, cultural archetypes and stereotypes, to become a respected businessman, power broker, philanthropist, and the richest black person in the world.' - Hon Gloria Hyatt, Member of the British Empire (MBE), and managing director, Teach Consultancy Limited, UK
