Demigod22:

The house is called Camp Neya, named after his first daughter. He was number four richest Nigerian at some point. Camp Neya have four hundred rooms, the house is located in Igbere, his country home.

Urji Uzor Kalu have been a billionaire, his romance with IBB and Abacha enriched him. He commissioned the house in 1998 before his inauguration as governor.

Mind you he was in his 30s then
Same as Dangote, Peter Obi, anumudu, Annie okonkwo clemco, chicason AZ petroleum from Nnewi, ibeto, Gabros(innoson elder brother) Louis Carter Onwugbenu from Nnewi, Tony Ezenia(Orange drugs) etc

They were young men in there 30s but very rich

His name should be on the Forbes list if the funds were legit. So, did he ever make it Forbes list ?

I'm sure you were either not born or too small then. It's true he was very rich then. I remember he owned Slok Air and many other big companies.

You obviously don't know him na way

Mind you $4bn was less than 500 billion then

Bro was rich rich rich politics made him poorer

are you talking of him worth 4bn dollars then? There is no way dude was worth that much, in 1998 I doubt any Nigerian outside the corrupt politician/military generals was worth a billion dollar. Why wasn't he on forbes list don't tell me he didn't want the fame.

Now I get your point. You are rating him among his fellow mediocres, and not by normal standard. I was in aba when Ike Nwosu left. I stayed in aba up until 2014. OUK is a waste!

Ouk was very rich before he become a Gov. in facts , Some of the SE Govs from 1999 to date were very very rich before they became Govs, when I mean rich , business and. Work not politics made them rich.. eg OUk, PO, Rochas , Soludo etc.

He was a good Governor too but didn’t major on Infrastructure. Orji Kalu paid 13th month atimes as Christmas bonus.

Kalu wey dey give 10k to women in Abia civil service for August Meeting wrapper every August. As in 10k between 1999-2007.

He did not owe workers

Man was a good governor for "Nigerian standards"

Under his watch Enyimba became the Champions of Africa twice.

All the ibo politicians were rich before joining politics.

Is that why they looted the region to a stupor since independence?

They calculate how much they hope to steal in the future, and write it as their present net worth on their code of conduct asset declaration form, this is to make sure that when they succeed in the looting, you wont be able to prove it in court since they already "had such assets before joining politics" as this well-known criminal is claiming now . He had $4b net worth and he has never been on Forbes list

Lolz.....even Donald Trump with over 4 decades of entrepreneurship - that has been into biznaze when orji kalu was still doing nwaboy with his oga - is worth just over $2 billion dollars.

He was indeed rich being a friend of Gen. Ibrahim Babangida and many military guys shortly before the August 1985 military coup. That military influence led him into lifting and exporting crude oil to refineries abroad before he had even clocked 30 years of age, despite being rusticated from the University of Maiduguri. He dabbled into a lot of businesses from the initial palm oil he was selling in Maiduguri with a N5,000 loan from his mother, to making furniture in Maiduguri, and getting a contract to make NYSC uniforms, etc, before becoming a Naira millionaire, then he became a Naira billionaire before becoming a Governor in 1999 at 39-years of age. As to the $4 billion he claimed he had, that's for him to show more proof to validate that but I reckon since the Naira was still stronger in relation to the USD and other basket of currencies, his net worth in USD must have been large based on the exchange rates as of the late 1980s and the 1990s.

I remember he said in a book that I read back in the mid-1990s entitled: "Nigeria 50 Corporate Executives" that his relocation to Lagos State from Maiduguri in the late 1980s opened his eyes to opportunities he never knew existed.

Attached below are the pictures of the younger Orji Kalu in his 20s in the 1980s, and the recent pictures of him.

Politics made him poorer.

@me
Funny funny funny 🤣.
Can a Nigerian go into a venture that made him poorer and he will happily remain there? Even fighting and spending more money to remain there? Which politician in Nigeria can do this?
