Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote has revealed that he is looking for a wife.
Ina recent interview with Financial Times Africa, the 61-year-old billionaire who is divorced with three grown up children revealed that he might find a new wife to help him ‘calm down’.
“I’m not getting younger. Sixty years is no joke,” Dangote stated, “but it doesn’t make sense to go out and get somebody if you don’t have the time.”
“Right now, things are really, really very busy, because we have the refinery, we have the petrochemicals, we have the fertiliser, we have the gas pipeline. I need to calm down a bit,” he said.
Dangote’s sentiments evoked reactions across social media:
