High Life…Amazing lifestyles of Nigeria’s rich and famous
•High society agog as Africa’s richest man attains yet another mileage

It is not by spectacular achievements
that man can be transformed, but by will. Ask Aliko Dangote. He is a
humble man with the heart of a lion. Having done almost everything that
is great in his prime, Dangote evolved as the poster icon to generations
of Nigerian youths and even his arch rivals. This is why his friends
and family are pulling all stops to celebrate him as he turns 60. Yes,
the alpha merchant and magnate of uncommon repute will clock 60 in a few
weeks and predictably, a lot of top socialites and fortune seekers are
planning to be part of the event. Though Aliko is not known to be a
party man. He does his stuff quietly. Whether Aliko will give in and
accept a high octane dinner in honour or not, only time would tell. The
story of his exquisite manhood resonates with a pleasant peal.
To his staff, family, friends,
beneficiaries and other loved ones, his smiles have been their anchor,
his shoulders their rampart of comfort. Dangote’s citizenship of
humanity they claim, depicts his love of life and undying compassion for
the needy and less privileged. Born on April 10, 1957 into a wealthy
Muslim family in Kano state, he studied Business at the Al-Azhar
University in Cairo, Egypt and thereafter returned to Nigeria to borrow
from his uncle, Sanusi Abdulkadir Dantata. The uncle (Dantata)
eventually gave him a loan of N500,000 when he was just 21 years old to
start his own business. The rest, as they say, is now history.
AFTER THE STORM…TRUE LOVE FINDS LEKE ALDER
•HOW THE FOUNDER OF PR FIRM, ALDER CONSULTING, REDISCOVERED LOVE AFTER HIS FAILED MARRIAGE
Only that which brings something quite new is really worthy of being called ‘bliss.’ Ask Leke Alder. The founder of Alder Consulting finally understands that true bliss could be attained soon after the loss of its presumed shadow. Soon after his first marriage to ex-wife, Lola, crashed due to irreconcilable differences, Alder rediscovered love in Morenike Popoola. One thing led to another and he married the ravishing woman. It’s five years now since Alder remarried and he is undoubtedly enjoying the bliss of his new marriage.

It would be recalled that Alder was
heartbroken by the shattering experience of his failed first marriage.
The highly disciplined technocrat had his marriage dissolved after some
irreconcilable differences with Lola, his ex-wife. Life then became a
drudgery for several years before Leke remarried beautiful Morenike
Poopola, in an exclusive ceremony in Lagos in 2012. Since then, they are
waxing stronger and stronger in love. Leke, who once said he makes
money by interpreting corporate dreams, has consulted on policy and
politics at the highest level. His skill has seen him corner juicy jobs
from federal agencies, state governments and multinational
organisations.
WHITHER THEIR QUEENS?
•THE MEN WHO KEEP THEIR WIVES FROM THE PUBLIC GLARE
Many a man has been a wonder to the world, whose wife and valet have seen nothing in him that was even remarkable. Few men are indeed, admired by their wives and vice versa. This is because they fail to temper affluence with lovable character. But some do very well on all counts; they are great at acquiring fortune and the love of their loved ones. More importantly, they never shy from publicising their love and the objects of their affection. Of this privileged divide, a few men of affluence choose to be remarkably different.

These men are international businessmen
and they are loved and courted by several underlings and business
associates. Everybody wants to be associated with them. Their names open
doors anywhere in the country. But strangely, they keep their wives
away from the public glare. How they manage to do it is shocking. You
don’t get to hear about the wives of the set of men with their
intimidating wealth and all that. Do you know the wives of Alhaji
AbdulSamad Rabiu, Cosmas Maduka, Nuel Ojei, Kashim Bukar, ABC Orjiakor,
Chris Uba, Jimoh Ibrahim, and so many others.
