‘It’s easier you put me in prison than take my phone away’ — Dangote

Aliko Dangote, described as Africa's richest man, said he would rather be imprisoned than have his phone taken away, calling the loss of the device a "no-go area." He made the remark at an event in Lagos where he unveiled his "Vision 2030" plan for Africa's industrial revolution.

Dangote also disclosed that he has more than 13,000 contacts saved on the device, which he said is important for maintaining his personal and professional relationships.
