Adenuga winks at 70, Dangote shines at 66

By Trek Africa Newspaper

L-R: Mike Adenuga Jr. and Aliko Dangote

 

 

It might not be out of line to say April is to Nigerian billionaires as October is to Nigeria’s Independence considering the intimidating lineup of Nigerian billionaires who were born in the fourth month of the Gregorian calendar. These Nigerian billionaires were born under two powerful zodiac signs, Aries and Taurus.

Most prominent amongst these Nigerian billionaires, born in the month of April, are Aliko Dangote and Mike Adenuga Jr. They are equally Forbes’ rated top billionaires in Africa.

While Dangote, an Arian valued at $13.5 billion, turned 66 on April 10, Adenuga, a proud Taurean valued at $6.1 billion, is eyeing his 70th birthday on April 29.

One interesting feature, worthy of note, is that these two wealthy Nigerians have traits similar to their zodiac scene – either as seen in public or as propagated by their aides, friends, and associates.

Dangote, like every Arian, is a powerful, ambitious, self-assured, and optimistic personality, who has inborn leadership qualities that have not only made him the richest black man in Africa, but an industrialist and businessman par excellence.

Adenuga, like a true Taurean, is a quiet power that has ceaseless ambitions that are always secured in his strength, agility, steadfastness, and sensuous personality. The Bull, as he’s fondly referred to, oozes confidence and uncommon brilliance that distinguishes him from his peers and makes him miles apart as the sixth richest man in Africa.

While Dangote had several dignitaries to felicitate with him on his 66th birthday, despite being in the month of Ramadan, many have opined that nothing is too much to celebrate Adenuga’s milestone age having dedicated his life to the service of mankind through various philanthropic and developmental gestures.

However, Adenuga is legendarily party-shy and prefers to make giant strides without attracting much attention to himself, hence, many wait to see what will happen as he joins the league of septuagenarian billionaires across the globe. Already, several people who have enjoyed his benevolence and largesse have vowed to pull out all the stops in making his birthday a memorable one. Notably among those looking forward to Adenuga’s birthday are his children led by Bella Disu, Paddy, Jide, Oyinda, Adeniyi, Eniola and Abimbola.
