Chief Fernadez lived life like a king . He has one of the best yacht and private jet in the world . One of the biggest mansion in England, France and many part of the world .

I first got attracted to this man when Ovation did a cover of him and he took 40 pages of the magazine at that time . He was the richest man in African then as Dangote is today. His walking stick was made of pure gold , his shoes the best of snake and leopard skin like Mobutu Sese Seko his friend .He was so powerful because of his money . Everything in his mansion is made of gold .

With all these money , I have never heard he has a foundation taking care of the less privilege or granting of educational scholarship to poor bright kids . Rather , the only things I know about him is his life of opulence and splendor . I can confidently say he was one of the men who redefine exotic high street fashion in modern Africa .

He has SIX Private Jets. He Owns A Chateau In France, Once Occupied By Napoleon Bonaparte, The Emperor Of France. Friend Of Mobutu. Ally Of Kofi Annan. Associate Of Mandela. I Call Him The Emperor of Blinding Swagger. Terrific Swagger. He Is So Classy That Whenever He Enters A Restaurant To Eat, Everyone Else Must Leave Because He Cannot Eat With The 'Commoners'. He Takes Over Entire Restaurants For The Night To Avoid Encountering 'RiffRaff'. (Chai! Poor Man Don Suffer). Of All The Richest Nigerians I Know, None Comes Close To This Man When It Comes To The Level Of Style, 'Tooshness' & Money-Backed Aloofness. After all of these he still ran away from his gold house to lived in an hotel for months after he fell out with his wife and they later divorce. Money cannot buy true love after all.

There is absolutely nothing on earth . Every little time and money you have make sure you use some for those around you who need your help . The best investment in life is to invest in human beings because when you die you will be remembered in the good book of history and those people you help will make you live forever even though you are gone .

Everyday life teaches us a lesson . As much as I sympathies with his family over his loss and may his soul Rest in peace , I also seek to use this moment to task us on how we are living our lives . It's time for sober reflection , life is too short and there is absolutely nothing in life . It's all vanities .Start helping out the poor today

Oh common now, he might have been doing these things in the background, given his kind of person he might not be one to court attention and so his philantrophy might have been anonymous. Cause its very difficult to be this wealthy and not affect lives positively whether knowingly or not. I've always heard of the family name but didnt know it was this big.

Don't mind them...someone that shows he is helping lives they will say he is showing off...if he does not show it they will assume and still say he is not doing anything just because they have not seen news talking about it and they continue saying nonsense.....some Nigerians and hypocrisy are like bread and butter..
