In his words, Dangote revealed:
“I don’t know of any musician who is an entrepreneur, very calm and loyal like you. We thank God for you. Tosin, you know you are a part-time singer, you are an entrepreneur, in fact when I was with you guys yesterday, we did not talk about music we were just talking about business. I never knew that you had businesses in 18 countries in Africa but I must really congratulate you for being a great guy. I’m really very proud of you.
Femi is not really my friend he is my brother. Wherever you see me you see Femi. I’m sure in the next few years we will take a back seat and call you the richest people on earth. I know that Femi is the happiest man today on earth for really seeing Temi being married to Tosin. And I think in Tosin our daughter is very lucky to have somebody.”
