Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, has urged people to keep their lives simple no matter how much money they hold. He said he can sleep in the worst hotel if circumstances require it, and he sees nothing shameful in that. For him, the ability to adapt to basic accommodation matters more than the comfort of a luxury suite. He made the remarks while discussing his personal outlook on wealth and daily living. The industrialist heads Dangote Group, with operations in cement and refining among other sectors. Coming from someone at his level of fortune, the advice carried obvious weight. He suggested that staying grounded makes it easier to relate to ordinary people. The remark added to a stretch of public appearances in which he plays down the trappings of money.
