That's a capital lie. Chief Candido Joao Da Rocha ( 1860 – March 11, 1959) was a Nigerian businessman, landowner and creditor who owned Water House on Kakawa Street, Lagos Island, Lagos, and was the proprietor of the now defunct Bonanza Hotel in Lagos. He held the chieftaincy title of the Lodifi of Ilesa. He was the first Nigeria Billionaire. 23 Likes |

muykem: E pain am Pahahahahahahahaa Know your history Forbes Africa....Was richest African of his time.....He 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. 6 Likes 1 Share

Moh248: The Queen used two vehicles during the visit. Ojukwu’s vehicle and the Emir of Kano’s vehicle. Funny enough, the Queen slept in the house of Sir Odutola in Ijebu. That’s the only personal house she found comfortable and convenient. Not Ojukwu’s house. So you see, the Odutolas whose house the queen slept in are not even making mouth all over the place. It’s the ipob people that are making noise over a vehicle that the Emir of Kano equally provided for the Queen’s northern trip. 23 Likes 2 Shares |
