We can’t force Dangote to emulate the likes of Jack Ma and Elon musk nor can we dictate to him how he ought to spend his money.

We can only remind him that dead people don’t buy cement.

Just one individual !! Jack Ma shipped out materials to more than 40 countries in the world, without any financial support

What is our own billionaires doing to help this situation? Adenuga, Alakija and co? Dangote is pledging money up and down like say na national anthem. smh

We’re not in the place to tell people what to do with their money but logically speaking we can’t have billionaires in Nigeria and still be complaining about lack of equipments. Jack Ma single handedly supporting countries. The best form of defense is attack! Let’s Kick corona!!

Jack Ma donated 5.4 million face masks, over a million testing kits and thousands of protective suits will be distributed to all 54 African countries including Nigeria.

Nigeria Billionaires have 24 hours to respond.
