Man posts video of Aliko Dangote at mosque

The video, shared on TikTok by @bolaji532, captured Dangote dressed in traditional attire, seated on a mat during his prayer.

After completing his prayer, he stood to greet well-wishers who shook hands with him as they exchanged pleasantries.

In his words:

"Anything wey make Dangote dey this position, fit comot your life. Lekki central mosque. Let us learn a lot from this man. Someone success dey motivate me dem begging for money."
