I read an article on Nairaland front page that the Rolls Royce used by Queen Elizabeth during her visit was owned by the Emir of Kano Verified sources from Forbes says it's Louis Odimegwu the father of Ojukwus rolls Royce that was used. Read below Please take this to front page lest we twart history Shortly before Nigeria’s independence in 1960, Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu, reportedly Nigeria’s first black billionaire, and founding president of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. The royal honor came after he helped the British during World War II with his fleet of trucks. He was so wealthy that during the Queen’s visit in 1956, she was chauffeured around in his Rolls-Royce – apparently the only one in the country at the time – on the request of the colonial administration. Profiled in September 1965 by TIME magazine, Ojukwu made his money by importing dried fish for resale, and diversifying into textiles, cement and transport. When he died a year later, his wealth was an estimated $4 billion in today’s economic value. Source: https://www.forbesafrica.com/wealth/2017/08/07/small-town-super-rich/

And the remarkable thing is that when an igbo man own such things it's not usually by favour because you are privileged to be Emote or from the North. It's by smart work and hard work 1 Like |
