Al Amoudi is Arab. His father is from the middle east. Only his mother is Ethiopian but Ethiopians are a mixed race people who have lots of genes from the middle east. His features are very arab.
Webmaster:
He is black because Ethiopians are blacks (sub-saharan Africa). Barrack Obama is considered black though he is of mixed race (his mother is white) - so why is this different? Yes he is Arab - but there are many many black arabs e.g. the nubian people in Egypt. To educate yourself more visit wiki here -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Arab.
Read about Al Amoudi here.
Al Amoudi is no dought black. Ask him. By the way Arab is a culture for most people and not a race.
Al Amoudi looks like all other ethiopian people. By the way “we are not mixed”.
I’m proud of him, i which to be like him
He is an arab man since his father is from middle east. Obama is Africa because his father is African.
Webmaster:
So if your father is from Europe and your mother is black that makes you white ?
How dare you to tell us we are not black? we are pure black Africans. What was your measure anyway? If you don’t know, you better shut up. we know ourselves. I am saying this because we are proud of who we are (BLACK PEOPLE) period.
There are many richer persons in Nigeria before Aliko. He is rich,yes. But not quite as rich as up to 5 other Nigerians. Even Aliko knows this. Wealth here are masked by using others,friends and accomplises as fronts. He is no doubt rich and I celebrate him. He is an employer at least. But definitely not among the richest three in Nigeria. And this is being modest.
I bow for Aliko dangote, i am proud of him. Carry go Nigerians…
I’m proud of Dangote because he has create more job opportunies for Nigerians and that is a joy thing, for those who say they are rich, they should show it, not just being rich in their pocket, you are rich and many average Nigerians are leaving from hand to mouth why you that said you are rich is there doing nothing about it, to count the rich men and women in Nigeria i think we should start from Dangote and other people who are like Dangote. In conclusion Dangote is the richest because his wealth is traceable, may God Almighty continue to increase your wealth and to guide, but you must recognize God in all ramification.
Like one of the greatest quotes I kind of give credit to the originator
…..opportunities disguise itself in coverall called ”WORK” and many see them and run away.
Though,many people are born into wealth and they build upon it,
while others see opportunities and they take hold of it.Many other
people see opportunities and they fail to sieze the moment,therefore languish or wallow in poverty,then put the blame on their parents/witches & wizards in their villages.
Dangote saw an opportunity and took it.He is worthy of emulision
and according to hear say,he helps those who are in need and
fortunate to come in contact with him. So you can call him RICH.
What is the essence of your wealth if you cannot affect/impact your
generation positively.Anyone who cannot affect life around him with
the GOD given wealth is not rich even if he stocks a warehouse
with hundreds of thousands of us dollars.By my standard or by moral standard, you are a poor man.Deut. 8: 28-It is GOD that gives power to make wealth.
Am proud of aliko dangote makin it at age 21 yrs . The world can known see it dat we ar comin up.
i think it was great so please continue to give as more good information like the one you just gave to me right now yhank you
I’m proud of dangote becos he provide job opportunity
Aliko Dangote is a man i’ve always admired for his courage. kudos to Aliko. who ever thinks he is rich should make positive impact in the society and people will recognise him/her.
