In the journey to success, tenacity of purpose is supreme.

I need a visa in almost 38 countries, which means an American has more access into Africa than myself.

Passion is what drives me forward. Passion is what makes me go to bed at 2am and wake up at 6am.

In the journey to success, tenacity of purpose is supreme.

Let me tell you this and I want to really emphasize it...nothing is going to help Nigeria like Nigerians bringing back their money. If you give me $5 billion today, I will invest everything here in Nigeria. Let us put our heads together and work.

To succeed in business, you must build a brand and never destroy it. One competitive advantage I had when I ventured into manufacturing was my brand “Dangote,” which I diligently built in the course of my trading commodities.

After my death, I want to be remembered as Africa's greatest industrialist.
