Shocker! Dangote, Elumelu owe Eagles $1.5m

Dangote

Can you believe this! Africa’s richest man and the world’s 23^rd richest on the Forbes list, Alhaji Aliko Dangote is owing the Super Eagles of Nigeria a paltry $1m unredeemed pledge. G-a-w-d! What an insult.

 SHOWBIZPLUS reliably learnt that the Super Eagles squad that won the African Nations cup last year in South Africa has urged and pleaded with the billionaire businessman to redeem the $1m he promised them for winning the Africa Cup of Nations.

Team goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, who spoke with the team’s media officer Ben Alaiya on behalf of the other players said, “We understand the busy schedule of Alhaji Dangote. We are just reminding him and his aides to also help us remind him.”

Shockingly too, SHOWBIZPLUS gathered that another African billionaire and founder of the multi-billion dollar Heirs Holdings, Mr. Tony Elumelu, is also owing the Eagles, many months after the Nations Cup ended.

Elumelu who recently invested $300 million in gas- flared electricity generating plant promised the team $500,000, but is also yet to redeem the meagre pledge.
