The source disclosed that immediately Alhaji Dangote saw the discomforting situation that the Man-of-God was in he quickly left his seat and allowed the clergy to sit and this singular incident turned out to be a game changer for the Kano born business magnate.

The source explained that the clergy noted that if Dangote who was a Devout muslim could honor him so much despite been a christain even when men of his own faith saw him and refused to stand up for him then he is left with no choice than to pronounce heavens blessings on him.

The source speaks:"he laid hands on Alhaji Dangote and told him that in life wherever they were talking about money and influence nobody will be able to downplay his importance as he will be important to his generation and even beyond"

He added that he was not in any way surprised at the success recorded till date by Alhaji Dangote as it has its spiritual dimensions .

Three other sources this reporter met on different occasions and who have no chance of meeting each other confirmed  the incident  with one of them saying that the clergy involved in the incident was late Archbishop Benson Idahosa with the latter said to have included the encounter  in one of his books.
