WHO IS OWELLE ANAYO ROCHAS OKOROCHA?...

The man everyone knows to be Rochas Okorocha today was born 59 years ago into the humble family of Chief Nicholas and Josephine Okorocha of blessed memory.
Rochas is an Igboman born in Ogboko, Ideato South LGA of Imo State.

Through the dint of hard work, his parents lived in Barkin Ladi, Jos Plateau State as petty traders, where Rochas learned the art of trade; selling oranges, coconut, pineapple, garri, etc, and later selling second-handed clothes known as Okirika/Gwonjo. His mastery of the Hausa language is as a result of these trades.
He is an engineer of ideas and one who makes alot out of nothing. Through the business of selling used clothes while in secondary school, Rochas bought his first television, a lady's
motorcycle for his mother, and a Hiace Toyota bus for his business at the age of fourteen. Even his teachers became his customers and his school holidays saw him go through major markets around Plateau State such as Mangu Friday market, Bokos Thursday market, Dafo Tuesday market, and Cheka Saturday market to make ends meet.
Rochas sold cars while in the University, buying cars from Cotonou, the Republic of Niger, Jos, Kano, and selling them in the eastern part of Nigeria under the Rochas Motors Business in Jos, Plateau State.
From the proceeds of this business, he built his first school; the Kings Commercial College Vom at age twenty-one. One that has gone on to produce so many great Nigerians, especially from the Northern part of Nigeria.
My first million Dollars came from my time as a commission agent for the sale of Balenga Dam project equipment auction by a British company; Baffour Beatty Construction Company. This sale was made by my referral, to Late. Chief John Olowuya from Lagos State for 10 million Dollars and saw me getting a commission of 10% off the sale price. An equivalent of 1 Million Dollars.
With this, my business grew larger and spanned into real estate, fleet motor sales, aviation, pharmaceuticals, the hospitality niche, and cement distribution.

In my business prowess, I supplied the first one thousand (1,000) Prado SUVs to the Nigerian Police along with other many fleets sales. But it was Real Estate that has given Rochas major wealth, as he contributed immensely to the real estate development in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja even before it became the Federal Capital.
