ICYMI: Dangote’s ex-wife steps out
Not much is known about the marital
status of Africa’s richest man and billionaire businessman, Aliko
Dangote, because he guards it jealously.
However, he tries to be discreet about
his family, rumour has it that he has been married and divorced a few
times. Unlike some of his friends, who attend important events in
company with their wives, Dangote always steps out at such occasions
with his daughters, especially Halima, who he is particularly close to
and almost always represents him at functions that he is unavoidably
absent.
Even though the word in town is that
Dangote has been married more than once and has kids from more than one
woman, very little is known about his supposed exes. Nevertheless, the
wedding of his daughter, Fatima, that held in Kano a few days ago
provided the opportunity for people to meet with the bride’s mum,
Zainab, who used to be married to Dangote.
The beautiful woman, who bears a
striking resemblance to Fatima, was present at the numerous activities
marking her daughter’s wedding to Jamilu Abubakar. She also played a
prominent role at the Mother’s Night organised as part of the wedding
activities and was supported by another of her daughters, Mariya, who,
unlike Fatima and Halima, is less prominent.
