''He died in front of me and our mother''- Aliko Dangote recounts how his brother, Sani, died

Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has recounted how his younger brother, Sani Dangote, died.

 

The deceased, who was the Vice President of Dangote Groups, died in the United States on Sunday, November 14 after battling Cancer.

 

While receiving the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu at his Kano residence today November 19, Dangote said he, their mother, and Sani’s children were by his bed when he died. According to the businessman, it was more painful for them when the doctors told them his brother had about one hour more before his death.

“It was painful because he died in front of me, our mother and children,” he said

 

He said he was personally broken seeing his brother’s life leaving his body through the machines in the hospital.

 

“The visit will help us to reduce the pain especially for myself because we grew together. It was painful when they tell us he was going to die in few hours and we had to watch him take his last breath,” he said

 

Late Sani Dangote was buried on Wednesday, November 17.

    Nothing can be more excruciatingly than watching your loved one while S/he takes final breath! My son also died of cancer and I watched him helplessly before he took his final breath....sad. The memory will never leave you

    RIP . The Last Stages of Life Withdrawal from the External World Visions and Hallucinations Loss of Appetite Change in Bowel and Bladder Functions Confusion, Restlessness, and Agitation Changes in Breathing, Congestion in Lungs or Throat Change in Skin Temperature and Color Hospice Death Saying Goodbye Being Present at the Moment of DeathPersons who are dying often want “permission to die” from those they love. Often, they want to be assured of five things: Things they were once responsible for will be taken care of. The survivors will survive without them. All is forgiven. Their life had meaning. They will be remembered. When in the presence of a dying person Saying good-bye is not easy. Yet, it is important for the dying person and his/her loved ones to do so. Take advantage of opportunities when the person is awake and communicative to facilitate the “saying good-bye” process. If the dying person is not lucid, or in a coma, remember that hearing is the last sense to leave. Assume everything you say can be heard and understood, even if the person is not responsive. Dont speak to a the dying person as if he/she was not in the room.

    this is a message to money mongers. that money doesn't answer all things but God. dangote family wealth could not heal him from cancer ,could no save him from death. what is wealth. without God

      Sometimes people like you like saying things you really don't know or understand. What do you mean by money mongers? Most wealthy people's wealth are in form of stocks that means the value of such holding will rise in correspondence with a rise in the price of the shares. This means that you can go to bed and wake up the next morning billions of dollars richer without lifting a finger.yes, money didn't safe his brother but at least it gave him a fighting chance. Cancer is one headache that is giving the scientific community a lot of sleepless night. Thousands of medical researchers work day and night to find a cure but it's a difficult nut to crack especially due to the fact that there different variants of them. Nobody ever said money can help you live forever but atleast it can help you have access to the best minds available if you ever ran into health challenges

    Message to Aliko and Tinubu, gaining all the wealth and material in this impermanent world is an illusions and temporal. Death await them and all they own is worthless and meaningless.
