Aliko Dangote Denies Dating MBGN 2011, Sylvia Nduka

Richest man in Africa, Aliko Dangote has denied dating former 2011 MBGN winner Sylvia Nduka.

The rumor came up days ago that Dangote had stopped dating Sylvia Nduka because the former beauty queen was allegedly publicizing their relationship.

She even went to add his initials ‘A.D’ to her Instagram profile.

The richest man in Africa has denied dating Sylvia much less breaking up with her.

Sources close to the billionaire said the story is nothing but ‘arrant nonsense and total falsehood’.

“Nothing like that exists. In fact, if at all it exists, it does in the imagination of whoever cooked up the story. We are still investigating the original source of the mischievous and misleading story and will definitely take it up with them once we are done with that. We shall also issue an official statement, reb*tting the cock and bull story.“

“We just can’t understand how someone will wake up in the morning and begin to fabricate and spread falsehood aimed at tarnishing someone’s hard-earned reputation. The story is totally false. Totally false” said an insider close to Alhaji Aliko Dangote.

PSG Ready 91 Million Euro Bid For Cristiano Ronaldo

The French club are convinced that Ronaldo may leave Real Madrid in the summer and are already preparing a mega bid to land the three time Ballon D’Or winner.

Ronaldo has been incredible for Real Madrid this season but rumors flying round suggest that the Portuguese is far from happy at the Spanish capital and may be seeking a move as his agent,
Jorde Mendes is up and about making
negotiations over his future. Paris Saint-Germian are ready to move in and are preparing to bid about 91 million Euros for Ronaldo if Real Madrid would let him go as they on their own part might just be willing to let either Caveni, Ibrahimovic or Lavezzi go in the summer.

This might result in some serious negotiations over the next coming weeks but Ronaldo would most likely still be a Real Madrid player on the 1 of September, 2015.
