Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote still keen on Arsenal takeover

African billionaire Aliko Dangote says he is still keen on buying Arsenal.

The 58-year-old Nigerian, who is worth over an estimated €13.5 billion - which makes him
Africa's richest man - explored the possibility of purchasing the club in 2010, but his approach
was rejected.

"I still hope, one day at the right price, that I'll buy the team," Dangote told Bloomberg Business.

"I might buy it, not at a ridiculous price but a price that the owners won't want to resist. I know my strategy."

Dangote, who has made his fortune through various operations including cement manufacturing, sugar supply and oil investments, says that he will concentrate on expanding his
own business before launching a new offer for Arsenal.

“We have $16bn-worth [€14bn] of investments in the next few years. Right now I want to take my
own business to a certain level. Once I finish on that trajectory, then maybe an offer will follow," he continued.

Dangote is an Arsenal fan but has criticised Arsene Wenger, claiming that the 65-year-old "needs to change his style a bit" and warning
that the club "need new direction".

Picture of  Ifa practitioners  undergoing Ifa initiation Credit: Google Ifa initiation known as itẹnifa or itẹlodu in Yoruba dialect is not foreign to your ears and if it is, then you have to learn the basics of IFA initiation before this particular post make sense to you. Almost every practitioner, if not all have had Ifa initiation, even those who are not practitioners find themselves initiated for a convinced reason known to them. However, some IFA initiates raise their respective voice, lamenting​ why their initiation is futile, no improvement, no progress or whatsoever of any sorts.  Despite the assurance of being wealthy (or any desire) after initiation, everything seems to remain stagnant, some even went from bad to worse. Some even have abandoned Ifa because of this unfortunate reasons. While experiencing​ this, numerous questions pop up in mind; among are: why is this itẹlodu not effective? why is IFA initiation overrated? Why are my problems not solved yet despite what IFA
