Have you ever asked any of your parents for money, especially continuously, and they gave you this reply: “Do you think I’m da Rocha?”

Well, I experienced it and growing up, I never knew the meaning of the statement, until I came across a book a friend gave me, when I stumbled on the name “Candido da Rocha”.

He was a rich man who would, from the balcony of his one-storey building, throw down coins to children who would, in a tangle of bodies and flapping hands, struggle for them. So, I remembered vividly why my parents denies being “a da Rocha” anytime I ask for monies I don’t literally need as a child.

Also known as Nigeria’s first millionaire, he was a rich entrepreneur, businessman, landowner and creditor who owned Water House or Casa d’Agua on Kakawa Street, Lagos Island, Lagos. It was named Water House because it was the first and only house in Lagos in those days to have a borehole and in turn sell water to the residents.

Candido da Rocha, a native of Ilesha, present day, Osun State, was born to the family of Joao Esan da Rocha, who was captured as a slave when he was 10 years old on his way to school in Ilesha. Candido was born in the Bahia region of Brazil. His mother was Angelica Josephina da Rocha. His father returned to Lagos, Nigeria in the 1870’s where he built his wealth and passed it to his son, Candido.
Due to his wealth, his friend, Herbert Macaulay, nominated him as a candidate in one of the elections of the time. And when da Rocha met the electorate, he told them: “I am Candido da Rocha, your candidate into the House. Vote for me if you like. And if you don’t, all well and good.” That statement ended his sojourn in politics as he lost the elections with acquiring just 20 votes.
Indeed, da Rocha was a very modest and generous capitalist.

During the Second World War (1939 - 1945), when the authorities of Kings College were looking for a place to relocate the students in the boarding house – among whom were Tiamiyu Bello-Osagie, who would become one of Nigeria’s most celebrated gynaecologists; Adenekan Ademola, son of Nigeria’s first indigenous Chief Justice, Adetokunbo Ademola; Dapo Aderemi, son of Sir Adesoji Aderemi, the legendary Onni of Ile-Ife – da Rocha volunteered his Bonanza Hotel on Customs Street, Lagos, and did not collect a dime for the period it was used.
Even after the war, when government asked influential Nigerians to contribute to the rehabilitations fund, he made substantial donations and he instructed that the amount should not be disclosed to the public.
Despite his wealth and political clout, no street in Lagos is named after him. Candido da Rocha died in 1959 and his remains lies at the Ikoyi Cemetery

Dr. Rotimi Oladele - Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of West Africa’s first class security printing company - Megavons (West Africa) Limited - has been elected as the new president of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR). Dr. Rotimi Oladele’s tested and trusted management and entrepreneurship acumen as well as great achievements as a teacher, author, marketer, public relations practitioner and printer amongst others must have contributed to his overwhelming election as the new president of NIPR. Having turned around the fortunes of Megavons (West Africa) Limited from a moribund company to the first choice in West Africa for first class security printing at unbeatable quality, Dr. Oladele’s exploits as a tested and trusted management guru from his stints from Longman Nigeria PLC and Academy Press PLC as super salesman and relationship manager respectively, to African Newspapers of Nigeria – publishers of TRIBUNE Titles – as Managing Director/ CEO, were some of the pointers to his overall majority votes by NIPR delegates from across the country. As one who knows his onions, Dr. Oladele has already laid down a 10-Point Action Plan called ‘Charter of Service’ that is expected to build NIPR on the already laid new foundation of unity. The charter of service include among others; administrative structure that will drive professionalism, competiveness, development and internally generated revenue; design and marketing of sound global and national programme brands to strengthen the Institute and net mega financial rewards; team building, role-assignment and effective coordination all over geo-political zones; membership drive and sound educational programmes that will lead to institutionalized platforms such as monotechnic, study centres and examination centres all over the country. Dr. Oladele’s tenure as the president of NIPR will also see to effective collaboration with tertiary institutions and educational regulators on critical areas of benefits to NIPR; International collaboration and global repositioning of NIPR; discipline and compliance with NIPR Act; acquisition of befitting physical and corporate assets such as own-built secretariat, automobiles, information technology gadgets, business outfits and subsidiaries; review of constitution, bye-laws and other documentary guides; and lastly; recognition of dead and alive professional doyens, veterans and active players. Dr. Rotimi Oladele is Fellow to a number of organisations such as Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), Institute of Directors (IOD), Institute of Entrepreneurs (IOE), Chartered Institute of Marketing Communications (CIMC), National Institute of Marketing, Nigeria (NIM), and Chartered Institute of Professional Printers of Nigeria (CIPPON) amongst others. He is presently Senior Part-time Lecturer, Lagos State University MBA Programme; Senior Part-time Lecturer, Babcock University Post Graduate School; and PR and Media Adviser to various NGO’s International Organisations and Corporate outfits.

rather I think the Nigerian government should call for your arrest for overfeeding your child and making her an obese bufoon


God created a baby but you made her a kung fu panda


kemi and hushpuppi were right you are completely useless and deserve no pity

ODVanguard:


I'll say it again that you're arguing from a position of ignorance. I'll allow Awo himself to respond to your 'why the West of the 4 Regions' question coz even he didn't feel the state of emergency was justified, considering that other regions also had their own fair share of crises yet the central government didn't deem it fit to declare a state of emergency in any of those hotspots. Read it slowly and hopefully your ignorance would be cured once and for all.

Awo's Reply to the State of Emergency in 1962:

(Excerpts)

[b] “The first question which any reasonable person ought to ask himself is this. Is there a state of emergency in the Western Region? That is the most important question which the Prime Minister and the Cabinet must ask themselves. I submit with greater respect that a state of emergency does not exist in Western Nigeria. “Not long ago after independence, there was rioting of a most severe nature in the Tiv Division of Northern Nigeria.

Several lives were lost, several properties were destroyed, there was arson and a host other crimes were committed. At that time, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was the Prime Minister as he is the Prime Minister,today. He did not think it fit to call this Parliament to declare a state of emergency in the Northern Region.

Also in Okrika- there was widespread rioting in Okrika; again, several lives and properties were lost. I understand that this widespread rioting in Okrika occurred twice in the Eastern Region. The Prime Minister and the Cabinet did not think it fit on that occasion to declare a state of public emergency in the Eastern Region.

“But, because the Action Group is pursuing the normal democratic processes as laid down in our Constitution to oust someone who happens to be very close friend of the Prime Minister, and also because the Action Group is looked upon as a moral foe to the N.P.C., this very far-reaching provision of our Constitution is now being invoked, only in respect of what might be described as squabbles inside the Chamber of the Western House of Assembly. It is doing violence to our Constitution and doing violence to the construction of words to suggest that what happened in the Western House of Assembly amounts to a state of public emergency.[/b]
