Aliko Dangote, Africa's Richest Man, Loses U.S.$7.8 Bn As Naira, Stocks Plunge

A few weeks ago, Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, announced a nearly 10 per cent devaluation of the naira, Nigeria's currency, after admitting that a plunge in world oil prices and dwindling dollar reserves were making it difficult to defend the value of the currency. The naira is now trading at N187 to $1 officially, compared to N165 in November. In the parallel market, the naira traded at N218 for a dollar Monday. In dollar terms, the devaluation has knocked more than $40 billion off the value of Nigeria's economy.

Aliko Dangote, Africa's richest man, is the biggest loser among Nigeria's richest people as the Naira's slump, coupled with falling stock prices, have erased more than $7.8 billion of his fortune since February, when FORBES locked in the values for its annual ranking of the world's billionaires. Dangote was worth $25 billion at the time; but at the close of market last Tuesday, his networth had dropped to $17.2 billion. More than half of the drop in his fortune has happened since early November. As of November 7, Dangote was worth $21.6 billion, $4.4 billion more than now.

Obasanjo’s fake Twitter account blocked

Operator(s) of @SegunObasanjo, a controversial Twitter handle associated with former President Olusegun Obasanjo, may have to look elsewhere for another deceptive platform. The account has been deactivated from the social networking platform.

Investigation shows that the account, which was still active last weekend, was removed from Twitter on Tuesday.

The Twitter handle rode on the back of the recent political rift between Obasanjo and President Goodluck Jonathan to gain prominence. It enjoyed regular visits by politicians and journalists, who saw it as a useful source of information.

Cashing in on the internal conflict in the Peoples Democratic Party, in which Obasanjo was a key factor, the operator (s) in the account attacked perceived enemies of the former President and responded to their remarks.
