It has emerged that the richest African in the world, Aliko Dangote, has not fulfilled the promise to the victorious Super Eagles team led by Mikel Obi to the AFCON 2013.

For the 14th consecutive year, Aliko Dangote, Africa’s wealthiest man and the richest Black person in the world, has claimed the top spot on Forbes’f list of Africa’s billionaires. 

With a staggering net worth of $23.9 billion, Dangote’s fortune has soared to new heights, nearly doubling in the past year thanks to the launch of the Dangote Refinery—Africa’s largest oil and gas facility.

Yet, amid his meteoric financial rise, a promise made over a decade ago to Nigeria’s victorious AFCON2013 football team remains unfulfilled, casting a shadow over his legacy of generosity.
Dangote, now ranked the 83rd-richest person globally, has seen his wealth balloon by $10.5 billion since last year, propelled by the refinery’s operational debut.
