He was a successful businessman who from what I heard, dealt in electronics business. His life was quite shady as stories surrounding him were quite vague.

Ezego hailed from Okija in Anambra state.He was based in Lagos
and lived in Ajao estate.He was the owner of Ezego electonics on
Allen avenue,Ikeja.Ezego became rich through diabolical means.
He died in a minor accident in his lexus jeep close to his town
In Okija when he was travelling home for the xmas celebration
Sometime in December.He was aged 34.He died suddenly just the
Same way that he became rich suddenly.His wealth was not traceable.
No one could explain how he became rich.People who saw his
Accidented jeep were stupefied as to why Ezego could have been
Killed by that very minor scratch on his jeep.There were lots of
Myth surrounding his death of which space wouldn't permit me to

Please spare me these cocck and bull stories!
Eze Ego's wealth came from his Electronics business. He maintained a near monopoly in the importation of Electronic devices in Lagos from the late 80's to early 90's. A philanthropist to the core! He made primary school education free for pupils in Ihiala LGA when he was alive, he takes care of widows and aged people as well. He became popular because of his good deeds and was loved by many. His soul rest in peace.

He was one of the main beneficiaries of 19,just like onwanetileora. He made his monies tricking Oyinbos to be part of shady deals that never materializes in Nigeria. Just like nigerians politicians and their foreign counterparts do for real,i.e,objand halliburton.

Ezego was a 419'er and a biz man. I don't know which one came first. He was from Ihiala town. My useless cousin (also from ihiala) worked with him for a while. In the years before he died, he became a philanthropist. He died in what can be best described as a freak motor accident. Datz life!!

Guy, Eze ego was into 419! I wouldn't call 419 diabolic though. My cousin practically lived with him. It appears that he was able to recycle his money into legitimate biz and was very "open handed", so was liked by many.

Seems everyone is saying he is into legitimate bizz not diabolizim. But legend has it that he made a pact with the okija shrine and failed to keep up his end of the bargain...well he died exactly at okija on his way to Ihiala for christmass celebration.

Must be said,he was a philantropist,young,rich and hansome with uncontrolable assets.So powerful that Even the military Governor of the Anambra state was scared of his presence in occassions both men attended. Like his name says...Ezeego (king of money).. Truly he was

Seconded.

Although his corpse were later taken to Okija Shrine, because he has a case there before He died. Not fit to narrate all the stories now.

I dont usually believe in diabolical type stories but many of the posters have conveniently left out the fact that by the time he died he had already built a mausoleum for himself. Now why does a 34 year old man build a mausoleum for himself?

He must have been a 419 guy man or like legend says he agreed with Okija Juju that he was ready to die young in return for getting rich quick.

chief victor okafor, eze ego 1 of ihiala(udu bunch). Was a legit biz man first before anyother thing shady he became. A philantropist to the core & an exotic car lover to a fault(one of d first owners, of lamborghini in nigeria). Got d title udu bunch because of the habit of giving away bundles of #20 notes then at functions to people. Sad that since he left, basically all that he took care of have been deserted(the road to his house, his house itself, his football club, his businesses)

Some facts.


He commended the police informant, Mr. Chukwumezie Obed Igwe whose complaint led to the raid of the shrines and said he is a patriotic Nigerian who needed to be protected and encouraged. The IG noted that something concrete had to be done to remove the horrifying sights of the shrines from the psyche of the people of the area.

But the chief priest of Ogwugwu-Akpu, in Ubahu-Ezike village, Okija, Okonkwo Chukwuneta, an elderly man who could not say his age told journalists that the Ogwugwu-Akpu is a "goddess" and the wife to the Ulasi deity in Okija.

He said he had made three statements to the police since the August 4 raid, and that he was arrested and bundled into the bus on the first day of the raid and taken to the house of the chief priest of Ogwugwu Isiula in the negbouring Umuhu village. Although, he could not say how the worship of the deity started since he was born into it, he nonetheless said it has existed for ages. His duty as the deity's chief priest, he said, was to listen to complaints from people who come to report how they were oppressed and dispossessed of their land and other property by the rich.

The process of the oath taking, he said, begins with the complaint which is followed with a summon to the "oppressor". Upon his receipt of the invitation, he is expected to come and tell his own side of the story for the priests to hear in his house which serves as "his court". When both parties consistently insist on their version as the truth of the matter without any conceeding, the oath is administered as the last resort after they had been reminded of the deity's killing powers.

He confirmed that a popular business man, from Ihiala known as Chief Victor Okafor, a.k.a Ezego was killed by the Ogwugwu-Akpu deity, but said he would not know if his corpse was deposited in the evil forest.

According to him, somebody he did not name had earlier dragged Ezego to his court to swear to an oath over disagreements in business and financial dealings and that when he died he was brought a report about the death.

"That was in December of 2000 or thereabout", he said. Later Ezego's mother and the wife whom he said was chauffeur-driven to his court came to say that the businessman sometime swore on Ogwugwu-Akpu and wanted to know if the deity was responsible for his death.

This, he said, prompted his resort to divination, a kind of consultation with his god to know if it was responsible. The god, he said confirmed its responsibility, and that it needed the corpse. But he said that was the last he saw of Ezego's people. He suggested that if the business man's corpse was deposited in the forest, his agents, none of whom was around to answer questions, would be in a position to know.

He also said that outside businessmen, politicians going into alliance and people going over-seas for greener pastures come to him to administer oath of allegiance on them. He added that successful ones amongst the patrons come back later to offer sacrifice of cows or goats to the deity as the case may be.

Ah gosh! Now I'm struggling to remember. There was a porsche boxster, a lexus SUV and three other vehicles (unfortunately I can't remember the brands). He was on his way to his village to celebrate christmas/new year. The accident occurred near a clinic he had built. He was rushed to the clinic, but he died.

He was a businessman. He made his money from the electronics business (which was booming at the time), although people also said that he was involved in 419 (almost everybody that was rich at that time was accused of being involved in 419).

I had a picture of the accidented lexus SUV, which I got from one of those soft-sell magazines (I think it was city people).
