“Money, of course, is never just money. It's always something else, and it's always something more, and it always has the last word,” said Paul Auster, U.S. writer. Aster’s words bring to mind the wisdom of late German economist and philosopher, Karl Marx. Speaking of money, Marx said: “It is the common LovePeddler, the common procurer of people and nations.” These profound summations no doubt speaks to vanity and greed of these two auto dealers.
He is not one of the thousands that “could have overcome the darkness,” but unlike Bob Dylan, late American rock star’s greedy thousand, Okwudili Umenyiora, the owner of Dilly Motors is too smart to die for “a lousy buck,” he has simply sold his reputation for it. The sweet simplicity of the steep percents as his wanton inclinations for the money habit may have finally done him in. However, a silent hostility is currently going on between two famous auto dealers, Chief Jerry Chukwueke CEO Germain motors and owner of Dilly motors, Okwudili Umenyiora. In fact, Chief Chukwueke who is Naeto C's father-in-law detests seeing the Dilly motors boss and he is said to have drawn the battle line. The reason is hardly far-fetched; it arose from the struggle to take over juicy contracts to supply cars to government functionaries in Nigeria.
The deals to supply vehicles to government circles is said to be firmly in the grip of Dilly motors who is said to have hijacked the deal from Germain motors. Interestingly, Chief Chukwueke is Dilly's step father by virtue of marriage to his mother, Mrs Chinelo. Dilly's mother had divorced his father Igwe John Ositadinma, monarch of Ogbunike in Oyi local government in Anambra state when he (Dilly and his brother) were young, the mother went on to remarry Chief Jerry Chukwueke who is the father of Naeto C's wife, Nicole. Presently, Dilly motors is said to have cornered most of the contract to supply vehicles to government agencies, a development which is giving his step father Chief Chukwueke a sleepless night. Last year Dilly motors supplied most of the Toyota Prado used by government officials.
Okwudili who is an alleged fugitive from the US live an expensive lifestyle, he drives vintage cars, no high society party in Lagos is complete without him in attendance, he is married to Fifi and the couple and their three children live in what have been described as the most beautiful house in Lagos, the mansion situated around Oniru is a statement of opulence. Dilly has a 1953 Mercedes Benz and a Lamborghini parked right inside one of the living rooms in his obscenely beautiful mansion reputed to be Lagos’ most beautiful house. Other cars dot the expansive compound of his mansion, which also has a lift by the side and a swimming pool that opens up into a part of the sitting room. Dilly is loaded and he doesn’t hide it. But that is where the positives end. Dilly used to live in the United States where he was very conversant with the Baldwin County.
