Politics › Re: Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu Was Never The Richest Man In Nigeria - Reno Omokri by Antoeni(m): 7:28am On Sep 08, 2025
1. Sir Louis Ojukwu was a great man. He accomplished and made so much wealth before he died. All without Oil.

He was so Rich he did not need official papers to visit the Britain.

Sir Ojukwu's Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith LWB

was used to chauffeur Queen Elizabeth during her 1956 visit.

2. According to Forbes Africa, Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu, who founded the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), was the first Billionaire in Nigeria.

He practically owned Victoria Garden, Lagos.

3. Sir Ojukwu went to lagos with nothing in 1929 aged just 20 but 10 years later, he was already managing his own chain of businesses which included, Ojukwu Stores, Ojukwu textiles and Ojukwu transportation company.

4. By 1950, just Ojukwu Transportation company had over 200 trucks in its fleet. How did he do it?

Born Louis Philip Odumegwu Ojukwu in Nnewi in 1909, the only boy and second of four children,Sir Ojukwu went to Government primary School Asaba.

5. In 1922, he proceeded to the only secondary School in the Eastern region at the time, Hope Waddell training institute, Calabar. After completing his secondary School education in 1928.

Sir Louis secured a job as a tyre sales clark with John Holt lagos in 1929.

6. It was working as a tyre clark the Sir Louis Ojukwu noticed that many Igbo traders who came to lagos to buy tyres also bought textiles as well.

With his meagre saving, Sir Louis travelled down to Onitsha where he opened his first business venture called "Ojukwu stores"

7. and employed one of his relatives to oversee it.

He then returned to lagos and started sending down textiles on Lorries to his shop while still working for John Holt. Sir Louise's textile boomed.

By 1930, Louis bought a second hand truck

8. and employed a driver in other move his goods himself and 'Ojukwu transport company' was born. Sir Ojukwu worked tirelessly and by end of the 1930's, was the major transporter on the East-West Road.

In 1939, on the outbreak of world war 2, the British Government requested

9. use of Sir Ojukwus fleet of trucks for the War effort to which he agreed.

When the war ended in 1945, the British Goverment recognised the sacrifice he made and he was awarded a KBE (Knight of the British Empire).

10. The end of the war also created a high demand for raw materials from West Africa and Sir Ojukwus Transport business exploded sky high and he diversified into other businesses.

Some of Sir Ojukwu's early drivers such as Chief Ilodibe (Ekene Dili Chukwu)

11. and Chief Izuchukwu (Izuchukwu Transport) would later become Transport moguls themselves (Igbo wealth Creation).

Sir Louis was also a financial pillar of Ziks NCNC party and when the party came to power in 1960, Sir Louis was offered the position of Finance Minister

12. which he turned down, the position ultimately went to Okotie-Eboh. Sir Louis died in Nkalagu, present day Ebonyi state, in 1966.

Some.of his key achievements includes ;

- The first President of the Nigerian Stock Exchange.

- President, African Continental Bank

13. - Chairman, Nigerian cement company (NIGERCEM)

- CEO, Ojukwu Transport company...over 5000 fleet of trucks.

- Chairman, Nigerian National Shipping Line...over 100 ships and vessels

- Chairman, Lion Of Africa Insurance Company

14. - Chairman, BISCO Nigeria Limited cool Chairman, Nigerian Industrial Development Bank. founded to specifically give loans to industries

15. - Director, Shell D'Arcy Petroleum

- Director, Thomas Wyatt & Son

- Director, Nigerian Coal corporation

- Director, Guiness Nigeria Limited

- Director, Daily Times of Nigeria

16. Sir Louis Ojukwu also owned numerous building, landed properties and stocks.

It is estimated that as at the time he died in 1966, he was worth about 40 Billion Dollars in today's money.

How many Billionaires in Nigeria today do we know their background?

17. It is not a coincidence that his town, Nnewi, has the highest number of Billionaires in Nigeria today. You can clearly see the effect of wealth distribution. He inspired many of those Billionaires from Nnewi and beyond. Until a man that believes & understands wealth distribution

Politics › Peter Obi Announces Break From Official Activities To Attend To His Health by Antoeni(op): 6:12pm On Sep 06, 2025
Former Anambra State governor and the 2023 Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has announced that he will be taking a short break from his official and public engagements to prioritise his health.

Obi disclosed this in a statement on Saturday, explaining that the decision followed medical advice after he began feeling unwell during his engagements in Enugu.

"Earlier in Enugu, I was not feeling well. I visited the hospital where the doctor gave me some medication and advised me to take a day or two days rest," he revealed.

The former governor stressed that he would be unable to attend several scheduled activities both within and outside Nigeria this weekend due to the doctor’s instruction.

"In obedience to the doctor's advice, I will not be able to meet up with all my scheduled engagements within and outside the country this weekend."

Expressing regret to those who may be affected by his absence, Obi tendered an apology and sought understanding from his supporters and the public.

"I sincerely apologise for any inconveniences this might cause and humbly plead for understanding."

Before announcing the health-related break, Obi had highlighted some of his recent activities, including a visit to Good Hope Specialist Hospital in Isulo, Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State. The facility, he noted, is being acquired by the Aguata Diocese of the Church of Nigeria.

"Yesterday, after speaking at a Tourism event in Enugu, I travelled to Good Hope Specialist Hospital, Isulo, Orumba South LGA of Anambra State, which is being acquired by the Aguata Diocese of the Church of Nigeria, and made my initial modest contribution of ₦10 million to aid the Diocese's acquisition and revitalisation of the hospital facility."

He commended the Diocese’s vision for healthcare delivery and its plans to establish a comprehensive health complex.

"Ven. Dr. Kamtochukwu Obi, who chairs the Aguata Diocesan Hospital Board, graciously took me round the massive facility, explaining the Diocese’s ambitious plans for its transformation."

"Healthcare remains one of the most meaningful investments we can make. Faith-based organisations have shown, time and again, that with the right support, they can deliver excellence.

"I commend the Diocese's vision to turn the hospital into a comprehensive health complex with a School of Nursing, Midwifery, and Health Technology — ensuring future generations have access to quality care and training. Together, we can build a healthier Nigeria."

Obi added that from Isulo, he later proceeded to Owerri to attend a dinner hosted by Barrister Nnaemeka Maduagwu in honour of former Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.

"From Isulo, I proceeded to Owerri to honour an invitation from Barrister Nnaemeka Maduagwu for a dinner held in honour of his former boss, former Governor of Kaduna state, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai."

Despite his recent activities, Obi stressed that his health remains a priority and that he will adhere strictly to medical guidance.

If You Are in a Religion Where You Protect, Fight And Kill For Your god or Prophet, You Are Indeed a Stupid, Foolish Senselessness And Irresponsible Devotee. A god Who Can't Fight For Himself is a Useless god


"Every Real God & Prophet Loves, Care Protect, Blesses And Defend His Devotees


A woman has been burnt to death by a mob in northern Nigeria's Niger state after she was accused of blaspheming the Prophet Muhammad, police have said.

Police condemned the killing of the woman - identified in local media as a food vendor named Amaye - as "jungle justice", saying that an investigation was under way to arrest and prosecute the perpetrators.

Local media quoted eyewitnesses as saying a man jokingly proposed marriage to the vendor, and her response was considered blasphemous by some people in the area.

"Unfortunately, it led to a mob attack, and [she] was set ablaze before a reinforcement of security teams could arrive at the scene," state police spokesman Wasiu Abiodun said.

He appealed to members of the public to remain calm and not to take the law into their own hands following the killing on Saturday in Kasuwan-Garba town.

Such killings are not uncommon in northern Nigeria, where blasphemy is regarded as a criminal offence under Islamic (Sharia) law, which operates alongside secular law in 12 mainly Muslim states.

Rights group Amnesty International said that blasphemy was often "weaponised to settle personal scores" in northern Nigeria.

A minor disagreement or argument, often "deliberately orchestrated", leads to accusations of blasphemy, "and then the mob lynches the accused instantly", it said.

At least two other people have been lynched over such accusations in the last three years, with critics pointing out that not enough is being done to prevent the killings that have targeted both Muslims and Christians.

In 2022, student Deborah Samuel was beaten and burned alive in Sokoto state after being accused of making blasphemous comments.

Last year, a butcher, Usman Buda, was stoned to death in the same state under similar circumstances.

Though Nigeria's constitution upholds freedom of speech, the country remains deeply divided on matters of faith and justice.

Nigeria's Supreme Court has in the past ruled that blasphemy allegations must be proven in a court of law.
