Bill Gates: "My Nigerian friend Femi is such a character. During my visit to the incredible Dangote refinery to congratulate him on his victory, I couldn't help but notice Femi kept a firm grip on my wrist every time I made a gesture.

Femi's concern about Bill's expensive Patek Philippe watch, which is valued at approximately $1.4 million, highlights the affection and respect he has for his friend, as well as a bit of the local Nigerian slang. The term "Patek" is often used in a playful way to refer to something of great value or importance, reflecting the high regard for luxury items like the Patek Philippe watch in the region. The interaction also shows the light-hearted side of Bill Gates, who is known for his serious work in technology and philanthropy, and his ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds.
