Please take a moment to check out my documentary film BLACK HAIR
It is free at youtube. 6 parts including an update from London, England.
It explores the Korean Take-over of the Black Beauty Supply and Hair biz..

I am not a hater, I am a motivator.
Plus I am a White guy who stumbled upon this, and felt it was so wrong I had to make a film about it.

Aliko Dangote Deserves a Toast
Dangote is a Nigerian success story. We ought to celebrate him and others like him. In a country where billions of Naira is most commonly associated with budgets, an individual with a humble background has attained a total net worth of $ 3.3 billion. Aliko Dangote is a man of noble character. He has empowered many lives in Nigeria while investing massively in the nation’s economy. He has impacted positively on Nigerians through the provision of employment and trading opportunities. The Dangote Group is also alive to its social responsibilities as a good corporate citizen. The Group offers scholarships, sponsor sporting activities and provide social amenities to the communities in their areas of operation.
