We have discussed this more and more, over and over again and reach to a conclusion that one of the most successful businessman in Nigeria has an  Igbo blood flowing in his vein. with some clear and relevant evidence to prove and backup our conclusion.
   He moved from Kano to Lagos with a very little money, borrowed money from his uncle to start building matterials that led to a business empire.
      leaves his home town to another town to live as a lord even dominate it.
        These exactly how Igboman does to to start life. and phisically he looks like them.
           and his name ALIKO is as like ALIKE which means in igbo SOLID LAND.ALIKA meaning FORMIDABLE
                 my fellow igbos our brother is in another land.
                       NWANNE DI NA MBA

                                  Am saying base on his business experience.

@Ozioma

Please don't mislead people. Firstly, Aliko Dangote borrowed 500,000 Naira from his uncle in the 1970's which was equal to 500,000 English Pounds them. So tell me, how is this a small money?

Secondly, Aliko sold cement in Kano for a very long time, he later moved to Lagos as a very made man.

Thirdly, Aliko Dangote of the Dangote/Dantata business dynasty is Fulani and not Hausa. Their is a huge difference between these to ethnic groups, the Fulanis even speak a different  Language.  Even the Emir of Kano H.R.H Alh. Ado Bayero, former President Buhari and our present president Mr Yaradua are Fulani's too.

I was born and raised in Kano State so I know about all these things.

I disagree with you

how?
y?

I believe Ozioma is presenting this story as a metaphor, and not as a factual reality. He is equating the enterprising spirit of Dangote with that of the Igbos but he might have been carried too far in his fantasy that he ended up screwing the presentation.

What origin can Dangote trace to Igbo land?

Are Igbo people the only ones who leave their native areas to come dominate in Lagos? What would you say of the Ibru's? Or are they Igbo too? I don't really see what this achieves, apart from boosting the ego of a few and strengthening stereotypes.

Dangote is a successful man ALL OVER Nigeria, his largest Cement plants are geographically in the 'North', meaning he is 'dominating' in his own area as well not just in 'another man's land' (I wonder whose 'land' Lagos is these days anyways).

I see NO evidence whatsoever that 'Igbo blood' is flowing through his veins, whatever that is supposed to mean. He is simply a driven and successful individual who has made use of his connections as well as taken advantage of opportunities whenever they have arisen.

We all know how success is being achieved in our dear country, so being hard working can be measured based on your high connection with the man on top.
There are people like IBETO GROUP in NNEWI Engr. Izuogu of Z600 and some many more to count who are clibing the hill of success with some govt. set back instead of helping.

Bizarre

again!!!!!!!

dangote = igbo

i see no connection

@ Ifyalways
Aliko Dangote is 100% Hausa ,his father Alhaji Muhammad Dangote is 100% Hausa and his Mother Hajiya Maariya Dantata (daughter of Alhaji Dantata,the founder of Dantata dynasty) .Dantata is 100% Hausa,and his wife is Fulani , ( Maariya Dantata)  the mother of Aliko Dangote,even his mother is not 100% Fulani,but she is 40% Fulani 60% Hausa.
Aliko Dangote's mother is about half Fulani and 60% Hausa,so please stop confusing yourself,and stop reading Wikipedia poste.
We know Igbo and Yoruba will never appreciate Hausa,so please stop talking about us.

Dan-Gote mean Son of Gote in Hausa language,just like Dantata = son of Tata or Dan Mallam = Son of Mallam.
Ali-ko is a nickname of Ali and have nothing to do with Igbotic language,it's 100% Arabic name.
Hausa are born to be traders,and this is the result of being business men in 1000 years.

Aliko Dangote is literaly 90% Hausa and 10% Fulani,and I am telling you this because I know guy in person,and know anything about his families.

Go to West African Capital cities and ask about Zongo or Zango,they will take you to Hausa-Town ( Zango)just like China-towns in western Hemisphere.And these Hausa towns are more than 200 years old,they are the remains of Ancient Hausa Settlements way back when Hausa men ruled West African Markets.From Kano to tripli,Ghana,Fez-Morocco,Agadez,Arlite,Lome,Dahomey,Sudan,Timbuktu,Bamako etc ,you will see Hausa ancient traces.

Nigerian should appreciate these great ancient Pharaohs called Hausa peoples.

^^^^^
Good analysis. Don't mind these igbotic mumus.
Once you are successful in business, then you must be from the southeast, rubbish,
Very soon they will tell us Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are from Anambra.
