Aliko Dangote: Let me use this medium to commend you again for the plan to take Dangote Refinery public. Your vision, tenacity, and can-do attitude are attributes worthy of emulation. In the Igbo Nation, the elders will say that it takes the killing of one leopard to be called a killer of leopards. Alhaji, you have killed many leopards in business, and we celebrate you.
Sir, nations rise when GREAT entrepreneurs emerge. You have served your nation and continent in great ways. I salute you because Nigeria needs builders like you.
Taking Dangote Refinery public means it is a great entity because the veil will be lifted. That is confidence! You inspire, and there is no village in Nigeria where you do not have a young person with a nickname “Dangote”.

Ring your bells in Lagos and London; you deserve it. Let the wailers who do nothing despite all their own inherent advantages continue to wail. They would like to diminish your accomplishments because you are risking your money in Nigeria when others pack theirs in Swiss banks, collect interests, and live big in islands of perpetual vacations. But here, you continue to demonstrate the spirit of entrepreneurial capitalism in new ways and forms to advance your society.
But you know what? You can do more! That is the Nigerian factor; we always ask for more. Good luck.
