Does that name sound familiar? Well, this is rather strange and it is rather un-Nigerian, since children of the rich in Nigeria love to show off. Mariya Dangote on the other hand does not seem to be the show-off type.
Mariya Dangote keeps a low profile. She is often called the secretive daughter of Dangote. Although she has a social circle that she interacts with, she tries to keep off the public scene as much as possible as her status as the daughter of one of the richest black men in the world draws attention to her anytime she is in public space.

She attended a university abroad where she had her first degree.
Mariya Dangote’s marital life is not known as reports suggest that although one of her sisters, Halima Dangote is married, she is not married since she moved to Nigeria after completing her education.
Just like her sisters, Mariya hardly posts pictures on social media networks like Facebook or Twitter.
She is currently one of the top managers in Dangote Group, a multi conglomerate owned by her renowned billionaire father, Alhaji Aliko Dangote. One thing you should note about the Dangote’s daughters is that they keep a low profile.
Her younger sister, Fatima got married to one Jamil Abubakar, who is the son to former IGP of Police in a star-studded wedding.
