Comedian Alibaba gets N25M from Aliko Dangote to share with entrepreneurs
Alibaba is unarguably the biggest comedian from Nigeria which has given so much influence that Alhaji Aliko Dangote gave him N25M to share with promising entrepreneurs.
The veteran comedian made this known on Tuesday, April 3, 2018, where he shared how he was able to get the richest man in Africa to help finance his plans with a photo of Dangote on his Instagram page.
“I have known Aliko Dangote for nearly 23 years now. Met him the first time in the company of the owner of Harka Airline… years ago. And 5 years after that meeting we became friends. So when I told him I wanted to give out some cash to people who want to do better business, he gave me N25m to distribute this week on Instagram. Only those who need it need to apply.

“No DMs please. Because in truth… you need to count the number of comments on the Steve Rhodes post (at about 1am today) to know what our problems are… YOU WILL WRITE ABOUT LESSONS THAT PEOPLE NEED TO GET BETTER. NO ONE WILL CARE. THEY WILL NOT EVEN SHARE TO THEIR FRIENDS. BUT A HALF POST THAT SAYS YOU WANT TO DASH MONEY… THEY WILL JUMP AT IT. DANGOTE BUILT A FACULTY OF BUSINESS STUDIES… BUILT HOSPITALS. NOT HIGHLIGHTED BUT THE HINT OF HIM DASHING MONEY… ALL DRY BONES ROSE. WE NEED TO WAKE UP,”Ā he wrote.
This will not be the first time celebrities have used their influence or wealth to help people who are in need. Some of these celebrities are either spending time with children at orphanage homes or feeding the poor on the streets.
Recall during the last Easter celebration, singer,Ā Kiss DanielĀ took to the streets ofĀ Iddi ArabaĀ inĀ MushinĀ where heĀ shared food and money to the beggars. This was after he was challenged by a follower on Twitter to do so.
