Aliko Dangote started a telecommunication company and failed.
He also started a textile company and failed terribly.
He started a Dangote Airlines and failed a few months later.
He then started a tomato sauce factory that also failed after a few months of operation.
Aliko Dangote this time started Dangote Millers which he failed to maintain and ended up selling it to South African company for $200m before buying it back at half the price he sold it.
This time Dangote started Dangote cement which became his first successful business. Sugar business followed and so did oil refinery.
Failing doesn't mean you won't succeed, it means you're learning.

En Afrique, la plupart des agriculteurs dépendent encore de pluies de plus en plus irrégulières.
Moins de 5⃣% des terres cultivées sont irriguées.
C’est pourquoi les infrastructures de distribution de l’eau sont une composante essentielle du travail du #FIDA.

Elon Musk exposes the multi-billion-dollar fraud pipeline hiding behind USAID and global NGOs
“The parts of USAID that we found to be even slightly useful were transferred to the State Department
So they’ve not been deleted. They’ve simply been transferred to the State Department
But many times over, with USAID and other organizations, when they said, ‘Oh well, this is going to help children,’ or ‘It’s going to help some disease eradication,’ or something like that and then when we ask for any evidence whatsoever, I say:
‘Well, please connect us with this group of children so that we can talk to them and understand more about their issue’
We get nothing
They don’t even try to come up with a show orphan
Meaning like:
‘Can we at least see a few kids? Where are they? If they’re in trouble, we’d like to talk to them and talk to their caregivers’
And then we get nothing as a response
Because what we find is an enormous amount of fraud and graft
Very little of it actually gets to the kids — if anything at all”
