Dangote loses n240 billion to coronavirus in 5 hours

I think there may be some misinformation here.

Aliko Dangote, the Nigerian business magnate and founder of the Dangote Group, is one of the richest people in Africa. While it's true that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the global economy, I couldn't find any credible sources suggesting that Dangote lost N240 billion (approximately $640 million USD) in just 5 hours due to the pandemic.

In fact, Dangote's net worth has remained relatively stable over the past year, according to Forbes' real-time billionaire's list. While the pandemic has certainly presented challenges for many businesses, including those in the Dangote Group, it's unlikely that Dangote would lose such a significant amount of money in such a short period of time.

It's possible that the figure you mentioned is an error or a misunderstanding. If you could provide more context or a credible source for this information, I'd be happy to help clarify things further.
