The quiet man of simple style but fabulous means recently threw open the doors of the architectural masterpiece open to a section of the media, perhaps to further show his worth and probably proof his love and passion for spending money on better things and worldly accomplishments.
Alhaji Dangote has called this place a home for good twelve years, and he said he is selling the property because he has just completed a new piece of real estate in the United Kingdom, where he is switching to after putting ink to paper on a deal to purchase the London based Arsenal Football Club.
On his living room, he said Television is an invention that
permits you to be entertained in your living room by people you wouldn’t have
in your home.” I love watching television. I watch a lot of business channels,
such as Bloomberg TV, which is my favourite and many others. I look forward to
the day when AFRICA will have quality media, which gives us good entertainment,
and insightful information into African business trends and those from other
parts of the world as well. But yeah, welcome, this is my living room.”
This is where Mr. Dangote hosts most of his meetings with
business associates and government officials
“They say that the kitchen is the heart of the home.
It is where the meals are created – it fuels the bodies, minds and souls of
friends and families all over the world. Some say that while life may be
created in the bedroom, it is certainly lived in the kitchen, ” Aliko Dangote
said.
This is Aliko Dangote’s home office, where he does all the
business if he is away from his office. “Whether you work from home fulltime or
a few hours a week, setting up your home office properly is important for your
comfort and productivity,” he said. “I have hosted a number of very
important people here, including Bill Gates, President Goodluck Jonathan, and
many others I am not inclined to mention. ”
And this is where the wealthiest man in Africa sleeps.“I feel bed to show you where I sleep, you know,” he said, showing us into the bedroom. “But here is where I sleep. My wife and I try the best we can to keep this place as serene and quite as possible.” “To tell you the truth, I spend less time here than I do in my office and elsewhere where I can work. I do value relaxation and unwinding, and I have read a lot of news articles and research studies that recommend eight to ten hours of sleep.” “But why should one sleep so much? To relax? Don’t get me wrong, relaxing is good, but if you love to sleep, poverty will be your portion. Well, this is my bedroom, let’s move on.”
