Dangote accepts Bae U’s invitation to appear on his YouTube show

Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has accepted content creator Bae U Barbie’s invitation to appear on his YouTube show, Curiosity Made Me Ask, promising an open conversation about his business journey and success.

The skit maker argued that most of Dangote’s interviews had appeared on platforms that younger audiences rarely watch, despite their interest in investing in his company.

He subsequently asked the billionaire when he would feature on his show.

Responding to Bae U, Dangote acknowledged the importance of engaging younger Nigerians, describing them as the future of the country and Africa.

The businessman said, “Honestly, the future that we have is actually you, the youth. We, our own generation, really, we have not really done very well for Nigeria and also for Africa. That’s the truth.”

He explained that conversations between older and younger generations would help young people learn from the experiences of established business leaders.

Dangote also referenced former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s engagement with younger audiences, prompting Bae U to interject, “Thanks to me. I gave him the platform, sir.”

The billionaire agreed that younger audiences deserved greater attention, saying, “So really, you are right. Going forward, this sort of audience is the audience that we, somebody like me, should actually face.”

When pressed about appearing on Curiosity Made Me Ask, Dangote confirmed his willingness to participate, responding, “We will come.”

He added that he wanted the discussion to be open, giving Nigerians an opportunity to ask questions about how he built his business and achieved success.

The planned appearance could provide younger Nigerians with an opportunity to hear directly from one of Africa’s most prominent business figures about entrepreneurship and his journey to success.
