This is real money.
I credit him for investing in his country - Nigeria.

The real story from sunnews
Founder of Slok Group and former governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Kalu, is expanding his busi­ness empire into hospitality. Kalu, who was recently rated by Forbes as the fourth richest Nigerian and one of the 50 richest Africans, is said to be working tirelessly to en­sure the boutique hotels are completed on schedule.

The brand named Sun Heavens Hotels and Resort with the motto: “Try our heaven, feel the difference” is of international standard.

The hotel chain is being managed by a seasoned ex­pert from Turkey, Ms. Elis Seval, among other award-winning professionals in the hospitality industry.

According to Seval, the target market will include business visitors and tourists who appreciate topnotch hos­pitality services.

Daily Sun learnt that the Victoria Island facility billed for inauguration at the end of this month will attract celebrities, top business ex­ecutives, professionals and diplomats.

Other locations including Lekki, Ikoyi, Asokoro, Gudu, Umuahia and Enugu will be completed soon.

while sum igbo's are busy making money and investing it...sum fail and frustrated igbo's are shouting "biafra" putting dia failure on one nigeria

my humble opinion

The hospitality industry is saturated. Would the hotels have short time?

Why are you frustrated with the push for biafra.
Will it not make Nigeria much easier to manage and with less population to manage the meagre resources

OUK, making news since 1824

Igbo elites are too well entrenched in the Nigerian system to contemplate the blood-filled Biafra chants of some of their youths

Where will they relocate all their choice properties,private jets,warehouse,ocean going vessels to

I pity some Igbo youths who feel otherwise

Kettykin, that's my thoughts as well. An official Biafran territory will make Nigeria much more easier. Would APC be having all this headache if there was Biafra? The answer is NO.

Buhari and his Co-travellers would have long been enjoying their "CHANGE". Isn't it?

Freedom of association or dis-association is a part of the big body of the inalianable human rights. Crying more than the bereaved in this issue is not smart. There are Igbo businesses and the accompanying assets all over west african countries. These assets are very safe even more than those in Nigeria. The chief reason being that they are not under any form of rival ethnic jealousy. The fear of domination is not there because the people are classified as foreigners, there is no competition of national common interest.

Therefore, Igbos will be safer and their contributions more respected in any country carved out of Nigeria. And to the contrary, the Igbo youths, pity for your types who for obscure reasons, enjoy the arrested development called Nigeria. The issue of ocean-going vessels was better left for those who enjoy delusion.

hmmm.....this is a former governor, all I know is that if it were to be from another tribe some egoistic bigot will not allow us to rest,telling us how he stole the whole state resources. ...their own son is not corrupt as at now......funny set of people!

I'm not holding brief for Kalu but those with cognitieve bias, like you, will always not disappoint. Could still remember that way before Kalu became a governor, he was a millionaire in dollars to the extent that he gave OBJ the equivalent of 1 million dollars for his campaign in 1998, an open secret.

I understand u people,only ur own is good why others are bad,so Tinubu who funded NADECO,was the national treasurer of mobil oil,a private company and other business outlets was poor before he became governor?the success of the opposition to the military juntas can't be completed without mentioning Tinubu's financial,moral,connections and other means of support,but if he happened to ve the one the op mentioned,ur people will come here to tell us how he did it with Lagos people's money and embezzled govt fund... I'm not against kalu,because I'm a business man myself,so from experience with hardwork and opportunities in this country,luck on urside u can amount to anything u wish to become in life.....that's my token.don't relegate other people's leaders why u elevate ur own people. ....that is selfishness and disrespect of the highest order!

This should be directed to Yorubas youths who sit and blame GEJ for all their problems while others are keying into his economic policies and the conducive environment he has created for businesses to thrive.
