“I was shocked to discover that Asiwaju has enormous shares in Apple Corporation and also lately while watching football with him, I also discovered that he is a big shareholder in Manchester United.

Dangote interested in buying Arsenal

Nigerian billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote suggested that he might be making a move to buy Premier League outfit Arsenal.

The 64-year-old was initially linked with a move to buy out Lady Nina Bracewell-Smith's 15.9% shares in 2011 but he later abandoned the deal in a bid to focus on his refinery project in Lagos.

With the project nearing completion, the Kano-born business mogul might be ready for the takeover from Stan Kroenke at the Emirates Stadium.
