Nigeria, the nation that for half a century had pumped some of the world's best crude out of its delta and then bought refined fuel back from Europe at a markup, was now shipping petrol out.
The man who had paid for it was sixty-eight years old. He had been born in Kano, in the north. And he had started, in 1977, with a family loan worth about three thousand US dollars.
This is the story of Dangote Group.
