Speaking during a new interview about the lesson he learnt from his uncle Aliko Dangote about money, Davido said:

DAVIDO: Uncle Aliko is a different type of billionaire. Uncle Aliko buys two cars every eight years. He is very disciplined and a different kind of billionaire. Every time I see him, he just says one thing and one thing only. Save your money. There is nothing more he tells me other than to save my money.

He and my dad they have been very close friends since I was young. He has done well for us back home; he has made us a lot of industries. He does it all; he just opened the biggest cement plant in Africa. That will provide jobs. Also, what we do, we have an electricity company so the top men in Nigeria do what they can to provide.

I learned so much from being around my dad, watching him in the office, hearing him on the phone, seeing how he handled life. He's very humble, principled and a strong Christian. Before I step on any stage, my team knows not to mess with my prayers.

Wow! That is a very interesting thing to hear about Aliko Dangote. It is also a very important lesson that everybody needs to remember: to save our money.
