we have a govermnmrent whose duty it is to provide all these.

Seun: I want us to be careful about the way we speculate about the owner of the house, since the news article doesn't mention the owner. Any billionaire from Issele Uku of Aniocha North LGA could be the owner of the house. We should investigate carefully before making claims.

dasparrow: @Post

So, I watched the video and read the article. It is a nice gorgeous house no doubt. However, its not for me. For starters, the house is way too elaborate and eurocentric in design. I mean, even the pictures on the wall show white men and women. I would prefer a house with a touch of African architectural designs. The house is way too big and like some other posters before me have mentioned, if the owner dies, no one will be able to maintain that house much less the huge yard.

[b]The article stated that the owner of the house already owns homes in Abuja, Lagos, europe and in south arabia. The house is meant to be just a vacation home. Now why would anyone spend that much money just for a vacation house? [/b]Even white people who are filthy rich don't waste money like that because they work hard to earn it unlike our Nigerian filthy rich people. A poster mentioned that the owner of the house has oil blocks and I truly believe that. One has to have oil blocks in Nigeria or be a Nigerian politician to make that much money to build expensive structures all over the world.

If I had that kind of money, I will make a difference in the lives of the poor and needy. I will help orphaned children by sending them to school and providing their basic necessities and pay the medical bills of very sick people who cannot afford to pay for their medical treatments. But that is just me. It gives me immense joy to be of help to others and make a difference in the lives of others. I pray Jehovah God blesses me abundantly like He blessed King Solomon in the bible in Jesus name, Amen.

IBB House is located on a hillside, clearly isolated from the view of residents of Niger State. It's a Bungalow with underground, and the fence is taller than the building itself. This explains why till today no one has successful at taking a picture of that mansion. 1/2 a mile down from IBB's hilltop mansion, is the mansion of General Abadulsalami Abubakar, also a bungalow with underground and a fence much taller than the building. No other residents live in the area besides these two people, not even former and present governors. Security is toothless...military and private security. It's funny you can stand pretty much any where in Minna and you will see the two buildings, but just the fence only...lol, why because there are on high elevation.

yuzedo: My dad has been there b4. Accompanied my uncle who is a close partner and contractor to the owner, Multi-billionaire businessman, Nuel Ojei. The man is wheel-chair bound, but I'll be damned if he isn't a boss!

franklinjoseph: Am a native of isele uku and av neva come across such house. the wealthy men in dat area are a handful ppl like Elumelu Bros, Edwin Chinye, Nuel Ojei and Kachukwu and dey all have mansions but dis one doesnt belong to any of dem.

Alaafia l‘oro:
^^^^why did you quote all dat without commenting? #rubbish#

mykejones: JB built IBB's Hiltop Mansion..know what you compere it with homboi.

mpmp: while 150-million Nigerians averagely live below $1 per day, a single human being is building such a house.

Even the money to maintain such a palace, is he going to work for the money or steal it?

Goodness Gracious!? See What Poverty Has Done To Someone's Mentality [/size]

Is It Your Money!? [/size]

nelllove: Where did he get d money from? Rob peter to pay paul.

moderatorr: poverty infected brain makes people think all big money is stolen money

Biafran Soldier: I know he sleeps in all the rooms, he should take the mansion with him when he dies please. All is vanity. The more you have the more painful your death will be.

Come on now, you are hating a little too Hard....

Points of correction: Nuel Ojei is not wheel-chair bound-it is simply one of the wild and exaggerated rumors about him.
The house belongs to Nuel Ojei and not the Elumelus.
The house was started in the early 90's by G. Cappa and then handed over to a German firm and now to the Israeli firm
Dr. Ojei has donated generously to Issele-Uku and to his alma mater: Issele-Uku Technical College. He once single-handedly wired Issele-Uku for electricity; He tarred several roads in the town. Can he do more? probably but he runs a business and not a charitable organization.

Anioma is known for men who make big things happen. Men like Rev. S.W. Martin of blessed memory who was also from Issele-Uku, Chukwuma Nzeogwu; Jim Ovia, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Pat Utomi, Sunny Odogwu just to mention but a few.

Let us all relish good things and aspire to reach the higher heights by pursuing our legitimate dreams. Nuel Ojei works hard for his money so should you. When bad debtors were listed for Nigerian banks, he was not involved. Oil subsidy scam, he was not listed. This tells me that he is doing something right. He employs a lot of Nigerians in his businesses which includes being one of the Dealers for Mercedes Benz and Mazda as well as being in oil business.

Nuel is entitled to enjoy the fruits of his success!

PROUD-IGBO:


^^^So many illustrious sons and daughters from there. Is Sunny Odogwu the brother to IBBs' wife, Mariam? If so, i thought they were from Asaba?
