Dr. Helen Paul, a comedian, actor, and researcher, has responded to a recent Google search that claims Nigeria is owned by billionaire Aliko Dangote.
It was noted that the name of the Northern Businessman appears when one performs a Google search for “Who is the owner of Nigeria?”.
The well-known Nigerian comedian, who was recently appointed as a professor and Head of the Department of Arts, Music, and Entertainment at Heart Bible International University in the United States, responded to that by praising “Aliko Dangote” for her most recent accomplishments on her Instagram page.
Helen Paul wrote: “Who is the owner of Nigeria on Google?#hmm #global. The owner doesn’t post much on the social media. The owner is always giving us gentle smile. The owner does not drag on social media.
The owner doesn’t post family & friends on social media. Oh….. What A owner.”
The largest producer of cement on the continent, Dangote Cement, was created by him and is led by him.
Through a holding firm, he owns 85% of Dangote Cement, which is traded publicly.
Dangote Cement operates in 10 African nations and has a production capacity of 48.6 million metric tonnes per year.
The Dangote fertiliser plant in Nigeria finally began operating in the middle of 2021 after years of construction.
Since 2016, Dangote Refinery has been under development. When finished, it would likely rank among the largest oil refineries in the world.
Google search results clearly show that Aliko Dangote is not the owner of Nigeria, despite his general reputation and accomplishments.
A few years ago, Helen Paul moved to the United States. In 2019, she graduated with a PhD in theatre arts from the University of Lagos.
She made her radio debut on the Lagos-based radio show Wetin Dey on Radio Continental 102.3FM as a wicked humorous persona.
