According to sources, Aliko Dangote was paid the sum of $1,388 (About Shs5m) when his beloved daughter, Fatima tied the nuptial knot with her hubby, Jamil Abubakar.

Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari served as the bride’s guardian and handed over Fatima’s hand in marriage to the groom’s guardian at the wedding ceremony that took place in the palace of the Emir of Kano.

Dangote’s net worth as estimated by Forbes in 2018, was put at $14.1billion (about Shs52trillion)  placing him above Chelsea FC club owner Roman Abramovich.

Dear slay queens, if your ‘sugar daddy’ was not invited to this wedding, he is not a real sugar daddy but a sweetener. Cheiii!
