However, you may have to brace up for what you expected may be far from what you will discover. With his personality and wealth, people should know much about his personal life.

Without a doubt, Alhaji Aliko Dangote has been married twice. But unfortunately, his two marriages did not work, as he had to divorce them not long after the unions were contracted. But there is more to the reasons behind the exit of Aliko Dangote’s wives from his life and that is what everyone is itching to know.

Aliko Dangote's Wives

Therefore, read on as we explain more about the beautiful woman behind the smiles of the wealthiest black man in the world.

About Alhaji Aliko Dangote

Alhaji Aliko Dangote, as we all know, is the richest African man and among the 67 richest men worldwide. His impact is not only felt within Nigeria but in countries beyond African borders. His investments span real estate, food, cement, and more. For instance, he owns the largest cement company in Nigeria and some African countries. The company, Dangote Group, is a widely known company that has existed for ages, catering to the household needs of many Nigerians and Africans.

Dangote began his journey to wealth creation at a far young age. His uncle, who saw the prospect in him, loaned him 500 thousand naira to start a business. In less than a few months, he did not only utilize the money well but was able to pay back his uncle. The way he multiplied the money was something to study because, to date, he is still multiplying the money and dominating the business world.

Today, he is worth over $15 billion, which has positioned him in the number one spot as the richest man in Africa for ten years and counting. Dangote is not just anyhow man; he is a blessing to our generation. He has inspired many to get up and get going in the business world.

In addition, the Nigerian economy has depended heavily on this shrewd businessman’s wealth for survival. People in Nigeria and across the borders use most Dangote products, especially at home. He is currently working on owning the largest refinery in Africa, where petroleum products would be refined and circulated. The site is in Lagos and everyone is looking forth to it.

Aside from being a businessperson, Alhaji Aliko Dangote is a successful father, husband, and philanthropist. Born on 10 April 1957, he attended Al-Azahar University in Cairo, where he obtained a degree in business. Studying a business program proves that when one can discover one’s purpose and pursue it academically, one can go any length they desire.

Who are Alhaji Aliko Dangote’s Wives?

Alhaji Aliko Dangote is not only

smart in business issues, but he also ensured to keep his family from the eyes of the public. As a result, his children and wives are kept from the public space, which could be why his life is without dramas.

Having said that, we should understand that as long as his children did not fall from the heavens, there must be a woman or women behind that and that is what we want to unravel now.

As a young, budding man, his father got a young, beautiful woman for him to marry. Her name is Zainab and they got married in 1977. The marriage lasted for some time and produced two beautiful daughters – Halima and Mariya. Unfortunately, they divorced and never got back to each other. Again, the reason for the divorce was never made public.

After some years, Alhaji Aliko Dangote found love in the eyes of another beautiful woman named Mariya AD Muhammad Rufai. Recall that he is a devout Muslim and is entitled to more than one wife. She was the daughter of the Commissioner for Women Affairs in Bauchi state. While they were married, she had a daughter for him by the name Fatima. However, along the line, things fell apart for them and they went their separate ways. Their daughter’s name is Fatima Dangote.

Three years down the line, he entered into a relationship with Nafisat Yar’adua, the daughter of Alhaji Musa Yar’adua (the late ex-president of Nigeria). But, she could not keep up with the relationship, citing that dating her friend’s father was wrong, probably based on the age gap. It also raised some eyebrows in the family. Today, Nafisat is married to the ex-governor of Bauchi state, Isa Yuguda.

Recently, there was a rumor that Alhaji Aliko Dangote was secretly engaged to the 2013 Nigerian Beauty Queen Sylvia Nduka. She was seen with him on several occasions. At some other events, she cruised around in his private jets and uploaded the images online. At some point, she added AD to her name and people concluded that AD means Aliko Dangote. But, it has also been rumored that the relationship crashed not long after.

One secret people are yet to unravel was what could have led to the relationship breakups. Nevertheless, we should never judge him over the issues because life is filled with vicissitudes. Alhaji Dangote is a great personality and cannot be judged based on one side of his life that is not progressive. He is presently in his 60s and hopefully will find love again. Even with all these relationship quagmires, Aliko Dangote has been a great father to his children.
