Aliko Dangote Joins Twitter

So. So. So. First, Pope Francis joins Twitter. And then Africa’s richest man and Africa’s most enigmatic, most respected, most…. Aliko Dangote decides on the last day of 2013 to join the rest of the mere mortals on the social network.

His handle – of course – is @AlikoDangote. And, he had barely joined, before he was verified by Twitter.#BOSS

I guess twitter would only give you that kind of respect if you are worth $20billion
