Good question. I hope you will learn from it as am going to take the pain to tell you.

Rochas grew up in Jos and became a teacher. He had a tutorial center where kids come to learn and prepare for exams. Many became great scholars through his centre and he was recognized. The children of the rich also patronized him even the Gbong Gwom of Jos kids also patronized his center. That is why it`s easy for him to give free education because it`s his business.

Sometimes, in the early 90s IBB went to Jos and asked the Gbon Gwom of Jos to provide an educationist who can implement an educational scheme for Plateau then and he was recommended. He implemented the scheme successfully and he was given the privilege to replicate it in all the Northern states. This is how he got his way into government. He later won the contracts to supply Prado Jeeps and other stuffs across the federation. That was how he continue to grow from...............

CyberG: Funny Nigerians! What is wrong in querying about a politician's source of wealth? If he earned it, why should it be a secret so much you abuse the OP? The only reason and people who are upset about this question is tribal, they think they must protect the man from their tribe from any question! LOL...most of you deserve what you get in that country! Losers! Most big men in Nigeria milked the country in millions and billion by over-inflated contracts from corrupt governments! This is the same way Rochas, Obasanjo, Mark, General Jonzer Odevhukwu, IBB, etc got rich: by looting the patrimony of fools like you who come here to defend them!

polokor60: you have the mentality of a little kid.have you ever heard of clifford orji or the otokutu saga under the bridge?

skybancss: the most important things is this, he is using his money to help the less privilege... why are you asking for source?

dadicvila: when people start saying nothing like juju or black magic,nothing like money rituals you dont need anybody to tell you they are kids,probably born abroad and havnt seen anything,there are lots of them on Nairaland

joeyfire: @OP - rochas made his first major breakthrough from a contract in 1999 or 2000 (I'm not too sure of the year now). The FG gave him a contract to supply prado jeeps to every police command in every local goverment area in the country. For those old enough to remember the police prado jeeps with "Algon" printed on the side. the man made a killing and I guess blew from there.

lanre_front:



My guy, what is your problem? Rochas is a public figure; a governor for that matter. Why can't some ask "Where or how did this guy make his money". Or are you his son?

The question might even possibly be borne of admiration and desire to imitate his strategy and not necessarily to castigate him.

ondo_boi: money ritual *just saying*

punzone: Why is it anyone‘s headache how the man made his money?And why is he being singled out?Is he the only rich man that entered into politics that this writer is so concerned about his source of wealth?Why not ask how aregbesola or amosu got their wealth too?I suspect that this writer is a tribalistic person, aiming to cast a slur on the igbos by discrediting a noble igbo man like okorocha.and i know say this writer no go pass yoruba-always hating igbos.
