~0.9 mins read
The Chairman of Dangote Industries Limited, Aliko Dangote has described the floating of naira by President Bola Tinubu’s administration as the biggest mess that affected his company and other business owners in 2023.
Floating the naira allows market forces to determine its value in relation to other currencies.
Speaking at an event on Tuesday, April 30, the billionaire said several manufacturing enterprises were impacted and suffered operational losses due to variations in the naira’s value against the US dollar.
According to him, “We are doing whatever it takes to make sure that at the end of the day, we will be paying dividends because if you look at our dividends last year, it was almost 50 percent more so we will try and get out of the mess.
The biggest mess created was actually the devaluation of the naira from N460 to N1,400.
You can see almost 97 percent of the companies, especially in food and beverages businesses, none of them will pay dividends this year for sure but, we will try and get out of it as soon as possible.
We want to see that at the end of the day, no matter how small, we will be able to pay some dividends, especially if there is a rebound of the naira.”

In the glittering halls of a multimillion-dollar family business, there lived a young woman named Evelyn. Born into wealth and privilege, she was the heir apparent to an empire built on power, ambition, and ruthless determination.
From a young age, Evelyn had been groomed to play her part in the family business—a delicate dance of manipulation and deceit, where loyalty was bought and sold like a commodity, and success came at a price too steep for most to pay.
But as Evelyn grew older, a seed of doubt began to take root within her soul. Despite her outward compliance, she found herself questioning the morality of her actions, the ethics of her family's business practices, and her own place within the tangled web of lies and deceit that surrounded her.
Caught between loyalty to her family and a growing sense of disillusionment, Evelyn struggled to reconcile the person she was expected to be with the person she longed to become. She yearned for meaning and purpose beyond the confines of her family's wealth and power, a life untainted by the darkness that lurked at the heart of their empire.
And then, one fateful day, everything changed. A scandal rocked the foundations of the family business, threatening to bring their carefully constructed world crashing down around them. As the walls closed in and the truth threatened to be exposed, Evelyn found herself faced with a choice—continue to play the innocent pawn in her family's game, or confront the darkness within herself and take a stand for what she believed in.
In a moment of clarity, Evelyn made her decision. With steely resolve, she cast aside the chains of her family's expectations and embraced her own truth, no matter the cost. She vowed to use her privilege and influence for good, to right the wrongs of the past and forge a new path forward, one built on honesty, integrity, and compassion.
And as she stepped out into the world, her heart ablaze with determination and her spirit unshackled by fear, Evelyn knew that her journey was just beginning. For she had come to terms with her own dark side, and in doing so, had discovered the light that had always burned within her soul, waiting to be set free.
In a cozy little town nestled among rolling hills and whispering forests, there lived a young boy named Tommy and his faithful companion, Coco the dog. From the moment they met, their bond was unbreakable, a friendship forged in the fires of love and kindness.
Every morning, Tommy and Coco would set out on adventures together, exploring the wonders of nature that surrounded their home. They chased butterflies through fields of wildflowers, splashed in babbling brooks, and raced each other through the towering trees of the forest.
But their adventures were not just about fun and games. Along their journey, Tommy and Coco would often encounter others in need—a lost kitten, a lonely bird, or a frightened rabbit. And each time, without hesitation, they would offer a helping hand, spreading love and kindness wherever they went.
As the years passed, Tommy and Coco grew inseparable, their bond deepening with each passing day. They shared secrets whispered beneath the stars, dreams spun from moonlight and stardust, and laughter that echoed through the hills like music.
But then, one day, tragedy struck. Coco fell ill, her once lively eyes dimmed with pain. Tommy was heartbroken, his world crumbling around him as he watched his beloved friend suffer.
But in the darkest hour, a glimmer of hope appeared. With tears streaming down his cheeks, Tommy held Coco close, whispering words of love and comfort into her ear. And as if by magic, Coco's eyes sparkled once more, her tail wagging weakly as she nuzzled against her best friend.
From that moment on, Tommy devoted himself entirely to Coco's care, showering her with love and tenderness as he nursed her back to health. And as the days turned into weeks, Coco grew stronger, her spirit shining brighter than ever before.
And then, one beautiful spring morning, as the sun rose over the horizon in a symphony of colors, something magical happened. Coco stood before Tommy, her eyes sparkling with joy and gratitude, her tail wagging furiously as she barked in delight.
In that moment, Tommy knew that Coco was not just his loyal companion—she was his guardian angel, his beacon of hope and light in a world filled with darkness.
And as they stood there, bathed in the warm glow of the morning sun, Tommy and Coco knew that their love would endure forever, a bond forged in the fires of adversity and strengthened by the power of kindness and compassion.

As she looked into Adam's eyes, she knew that their love was not just a fleeting moment in time—it was a timeless journey, a symphony of heartbeats that echoed through the ages, weaving their destinies together in a tapestry of love and devotion.
