I will choose prison over losing my phone, says Dangote

Aliko Dangote said in Lagos that he would rather be imprisoned than give up his phone for seven days, even if the alternative were losing access to his private jet. The billionaire made the remark while unveiling “Vision 2030,” a plan to accelerate industrialisation across Africa. He said his phone holds more than 13,000 contacts and that he rarely blocks people.

Including 95,000 tonnes secured from Saudi Arabia for October and November, France now has commitments for 295,000 tonnes—just over 10% of its consumption and about 30% of its monthly refined-product imports.
