At sixty-eight, a legacy stands tall,
A testament to vision, strength, and resolve.
Aliko Dangote, a name renowned,
A builder of empires, a force unbound.
By hard work, you carved your way,
With perseverance that turned night to day.
Through trials and triumphs, you have grown,
A titan whose empire is deeply sown.
In realms of business, you lead with grace,
A mind that sees the future, a steady pace.
Cement, oil, fertiliser—and ventures galore,
Each triumph a legend, each success a lore.
Your wisdom, like a river, flows deep,
In markets and minds, your influence keeps.
With each brick laid, with each step taken,
A legacy of progress, never shaken.
At sixty-eight, your journey’s clear,
A tale of triumph, without fear.
For wealth is more than gold and gain—
It’s a legacy, a lasting reign.
Aliko Dangote, you stand as a guide,
A figure of dignity, with nothing to hide.
May your influence grow, spreading all around,
For your life is a story, in gold, profound.
As you celebrate this milestone, so grand,
May your light shine bright, across the land.
For your life is a tale of the brave, the wise,
A legacy that forever will rise.
