Aliko Dangote, the richest man on Africa, has said he will not watch the World Cup in Qatar should his country, Nigeria, fail to edge their rivals Ghana and qualify for the tournament.
Nigeria faces Ghana in a two legged affair in March for one of the tickets to the World Cup in Qatar later this year.
And ahead of the March, Dangote who was at the venue to host Ghana in Abuja for the second leg, revealed how important the World Cup is to him and Nigerians.

“It is not only important to me, it is important to all of us here, that is what will make us proud as Nigerians,” he told reporters as quoted by Sun News Online. “If Nigeria does not qualify I won’t go there,” he added.
Both Ghana and Nigeria had a disappointing Africa Cup of Nations, with the Black Stars eliminated at the group stage while the Super Eagles followed at the round of 16.
The Black Stars missed the World Cup in 2018 and are hoping to make a return to the tournament in Qatar.
However, they have the six times World Cup participants on their way to the 2022 tournament.
