    Learn the hard lesson.you've been fired for failing to do the work you were hired to do when you went on strike. Dangote works very hard for his money. Other frequent striking Ghanaian workers should learn from these firings.

    There is this adage in street Hausa that "Dangote does not play", that is why he is Africa's richest man.

    It is okay to go on a strike, in a democracy but it is also okay for a business man to hire and fire in the same ca ...
