Halima Dangote, the daughter of Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote, has talked candidly about the private lifestyle of her family, claiming that despite growing up in a privileged home, she and her siblings have never felt spoilt.

According to Halima, the family would rather keep a low profile, especially while engaging with their father’s friends’ kids.

She said, “We are not spoilt. Unlike when we meet our father’s friends’ kids, we stay quiet and don’t say who we are.”

The entrepreneur stated that life was more pleasant prior to the family’s widespread recognition, adding that she and a few family members felt uncomfortable with the attention that comes with social media.

Halima claims that although some people might like being prominent online, she and her siblings would rather keep their private life private.

She added, “Life was easier before people recognized us. Some are comfortable with social media, but we’re not.”

Halima stated that the family has a big commercial goal ahead of them despite their desire for solitude.

With a long-term objective of reaching a $100 billion value, Halima revealed that the family is concentrating on growing the business that her father built.

She said, “Our goal is to build our father’s company to $100 B.”

Her remarks have highlighted the difficulty of juggling a private existence with growing up in one of Nigeria’s most well-known business families.

The comments also emphasise the expressed desire of the younger generation to carry on their father’s business legacy.
