Nigerian comedian and content creator Isbae U has caught the attention of social media users after making an unexpected request to billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote during a visit to the Dangote Refinery in Lagos.
The visit, which took place on Monday, October 19, 2026, gave Isbae U an opportunity to speak directly with one of Africa’s wealthiest businessmen. Rather than simply asking questions about the refinery, the comedian used the moment to make a request that could lead to an interesting conversation.
Isbae U, whose real name is Adebayo Ridwan Abidemi, asked Dangote to appear on his popular YouTube programme, Curiosity Made Me Ask.
Explaining his reasons, the content creator pointed out that many of Dangote’s previous interviews had appeared on platforms that younger Nigerians might not usually watch.
He argued that young people were interested in Dangote’s businesses, especially the refinery and the opportunity to invest in his company. According to him, bringing the billionaire onto his show would help him connect with a younger audience.
Isbae U then asked when Dangote would be available to appear on the programme.
Surprisingly, Dangote welcomed the invitation and agreed to participate. He explained that young Nigerians represent the country’s future and that older generations have important experiences to share with them.
The billionaire also expressed the need for more conversations between older and younger Nigerians to encourage learning and discuss the country’s future.
Dangote’s acceptance has sparked excitement among fans, many of whom are curious about what the interview will look like.
With Isbae U known for his unusual questions and humorous interviewing style, viewers will be eager to see how he handles a guest as influential as Dangote.
