And I will bless them that bless thee…….Genesis 12:3
The name Aliko Dangote needs no introduction in any circles. The wealthiest
man in the black race as at today and consistently so for a few years. This
excerpt from the book “The African Apostles ” authored by Leke Beecroft tells
a true story you’ve probably never heard. This is a validation of scriptures.
Born on April 10, 1957 in the then Northern Region (Kano State) Aliko Dangote
was born to Mohammed Dangote and Mariya Sanusi Dantata. An ethnic Hausa
from Kano State, he showed his love for business by selling sweets even in
primary school.
As a teenager, he began to work for his uncle, Sani Dangote and it was said of him that he served diligently. Sometime in 1977 and after his 20th birthday, he approached his uncle and master and told him about his plan to establish a business outfit which would trade in cement, sugar, rice, pasta, salt, cotton, millet, vegetable oil and other products. His uncle provided a loan of N500,000 but gave a
caveat to Aliko to return the loan within a deadline of three-months(this was
the practice at the time.

Dangote first of all relocated to Lagos in June 1977, the commercial nerve
centre of Nigeria, also, he then began to travel around Nigeria to develop a
strong distribution channel for the quick and efficient delivery of his products.
A few years earlier, the Benin Airport had been constructed. This served as one
of his routes to the Niger-Delta or South-South area of Nigeria.

Benin, formerly known as the City of Blood was then experiencing a great
revival through 39 year old Benson Andrew Idahosa, a Bini man, who was
established as a young Christian in the Assemblies of God and now pastored
the Church of God Mission. Idahosa who had recently returned from a
missionary school in America had established strong links with a number of
pastors such as Gordon Lindsay, Jim Bakker and T.L Osborn among others.
Tommy Lee Osborn, one of the greatest evangelists in modern times had first
responded to Benson Idahosa’s letters in 1962. Subsequently, a solid
relationship was established over the years resulting in Osborn’s visits with his
wife, Daisy to Benin on a few occasions, either for his crusades or specifically
to Idahosa’s Church.

Of all the visits however, one specific visit in the late 1970s was very unique.
T.L and Daisy Osborn had stayed late ministering at the Miracle Centre of
Church of God Mission just opposite the Airport. They therefore went late to
catch their flight to Lagos which was supposed to be a connecting flight from
Johannesburg to France, England and then the USA.

By the time Idahosa took his guests to the airport, they were told that the last
flight for the day was overbooked. Not one seat was available, the passengers
had boarded and the flight about to take off.

Not only that, the jetliner had begun to taxi towards the runway. Benson
Idahosa’s new mercedes sped towards the tarmac and screeched to a halt in
front of the plane. Benson Idahosa came out and waved at the pilot frantically.
The plane stopped and the steps were lowered as the pilot came down to
know what the issue was. Idahosa began “I have two of God’s important
servants who must go to Lagos”. “But we are loaded to capacity. Every seat is
full” said the captain. “Never mind.
Let me on board. They all know me; they see ‘Redemption Hour’ (Idahosa’s TV
program).
Let me talk to them”. Idahosa obliged, climbed into the plane and walked down
the crowded aisles. The passengers were annoyed. He prayed silently as he
returned to the front. He turned round, facing the passengers and started
“Excuse me friends, I have two of God’s special servants in my car. They must
go to Lagos today on this plane. Two of you will get off now so God’s servants
can board. God bless you. He waited a minute, no one moved. The silence
showed annoyance by the impatient passengers. Some pretended to be asleep
and others it seemed were praying. Idahosa slowly walked the aisle again. As
he approached the rear, a young man rose from the back of the plane and
asked the person sitting next to him to get up. Yes, said Idahosa pointing, you
can go tomorrow. You can travel later he said, pointing to the other man. They
both gathered their belongings and proceeded from the plane.
Benson Idahosa stopped the first man in in the aisle of the plane. He asked
him “young man, what is your name and what do you do?”
“My name is Aliko Dangote and this is my assistant” the young man replied. “I
am a trader, a businessman”. Impressed. Benson Idahosa responded
“The World will get up for you” the mostly Christian passengers responded
“Amen”. “My God will bless you! God will take you and your business beyond
Africa and bless you beyond measure”.

Just before descending the steps, Idahosa turned and raised his hands with
tears in his eyes, praised the Lord and blessed the remaining passengers for
their patience. They all broke out in spontaneous clapping. See you on
‘Redemption Hour’ this Sunday evening he said. They clapped as T.L and
Daisy Osborn boarded for the subsequent flight.
The world has since stood up for that twenty something year old man.
Today, Aliko Dangote is a Nigerian Billionaire ($16.3Bn networth) presently
the 67th richest in the world (2015) and richest in Africa. He flies one of the
best jets in the country.

Believe in the Lord God, so shall you be Established, believe Also in his
Prophets, so shall you Prosper! 2 Chronicles 20:20

I am sure the great Archbishop must have blessed and prayed for millions of people before his death.

Wonderful story. Just like a rainmaker living in a rain forest predicting rainfall.

Good god . SO now; Dangote's blessing is attributed to the christian god.

Na wa oo: I'm so damn speechless.

Muafrika, annuaki2, plappville; abeg come see dis.


Seems like God loves Muslims more than christians

When God wants to lift a man he breaks protocol and by passes man's orders...and you should be humble heartedly willing to obey men of GOD...Even when idahosa prayed in jesus name, the young dangote was discerning enough to utter "amen" even as a muslim...i'm not surprised why even in this economic recession he(dangote) is flourishing the more...and i was told that he gave adeboye trailer loads of rice for his programme sometime ago...Godbless dangote the more...God is never partial, HE will never withhold any good thing from those who love HIM.

That's why he's the God. His rule and provision is not limited. That includes you.
