Apparently, it is not just Afrobeat singer, Seun Kuti who has got beef with billionaire Dangote for his interest in Arsenal.

They spoke their mind on ‘Meet the second most powerful black man in the world after Obama’, recently published on Daily Mail:

“He’s a 57-year-old Nigerian who has amassed a fortune by becoming majority shareholder in giant cement, flour and sugar companies. Dangote Sugar supplies 90 per cent of Nigeria’s 170million population – that is a lot of sales. He is also building a private oil refinery in one of the country’s jungle swamps which is due for completion in 2018.

Forbes have him down as the 67th richest person in the world with a fortune of more than £12billion. It would make him the wealthiest owner in the Premier League, almost twice as rich as Roman Abramovich, who is listed at No 137. He hails from a family of entrepreneurs in Nigeria’s second city Kano, and his uncle gave him a loan at 21 to start his own business empire

When he was a mere billionaire rather than multi-billionaire, Dangote tried to buy a 15 per cent stake in Arsenal from Lady Nina Bracewell-Smith, who eventually sold to Kroenke. With Boko Haram still a threat in Nigeria, it makes sense for Dangote to diversify his interests and earn greater international credibility, as Abramovich has done. And as he gets richer with Nigeria possessing so many natural resources like oil, it becomes more feasible. With guaranteed worldwide television incomes running into billions, A-list businessmen are finding the top Premier League clubs increasingly attractive.”
