Naija's own Aliko Dangote has been listed on forbes BILLIONAIRE'S LIST (number 334) with 3.3 billion dollars! May I say that is a first for west africa. Usually you hear only about South Africa etc. This is certainly a great moment.

According to Forbes,

Source: sugar, flour, cement manufacturing

Net Worth: $3.3 bil

Country Of Citizenship: Nigeria

Residence: Lagos , Nigeria, Middle East & Africa

Industry: Diversified

Marital Status: NA,

Education: NA

Nigeria's first billionaire hit the jackpot when his sugar-production company listed on the Nigerian stock exchange last year. Meanwhile, proposed initial public offerings of his flour and cement companies have stalled. Began career as trader at 21 with loan from his uncle; built his Dangote Group into conglomerate with interests in sugar, flour milling, salt processing, cement manufacturing, textiles, real estate, haulage and oil and gas.

Not bad uh? What do you say readers? Are you inspired?

HERE ARE A COUPLE OF THE STARS IN GHANA TODAY 1. JACKIE APPIAH Born Dec 5 1983 Married in 2005; her married name is JACKIE AYGEMANG Says the happiest time of her life was having her son 'Damian' Top movie lead roles: DIVINE LOVE, BEYONCE'S DAUGHTER and recently the popular movie 'MUMMY'S DAUGHTER' (I recommend every one see this one) 2. VAN VICKER Movie lead roles: divine love, beyonce the president's daughter and mummy's daughter. I have personally been a fan of VAN VICKER from the first time I saw him on DIVINE LOVE. However, he is given lead roles that tend to make him seem submissive. 3. NADIA BUARI Top movie roles: Anita in mummy's daughter she is the daughter of

So you see I belong to all three and that’s the nice thing about being mixed.” Well so there you have it!
