When it comes to modest lifestyle, give it to Onitsha and Aba Businessmen, even they are extremely wealthy, importing dozens of containers from abroad. Yet, you can hardly tell from their look or appearance.
Well, you see this illustration picture used in this post, whenever you come across any businessman in Onitsha, Anambra state or in Aba, Abia State, dressed that way, don’t you make the mistake of comparing him to those who dress that way in other states.
Yes, because their financial muscle is capable of giving you a permanent face disfiguring when the time comes. In Onitsha these are men who owns several storey buildings, even 3-4 storey buildings in different parts of that Onitsha and Awada as well. Same goes to those in Aba, as they own in same or similar storey buildings in different parts of Aba.
Then when you eventually visit their homes, you will be shocked to see different types of luxury cars parked in their garages. And you will their wives and children looking like they just came into the country from one European country.
Then if you are lucky enough to visit their home town/villages, and see the heaven on earth they have erected, I’m certainly sure that you will doubt if truly they are the real owners of those houses.
I’m mostly conversant with these men in Onitsha, they are the real Odogwus, from Mgbuka Obosi to Main Market, typical Onitsha businessman’s look. Don’t ever expect to see them on your social media platforms, no.
They don’t ever have time for that, as they are always on calls, receiving orders from customers, ensuring steady flow of their businesses, and that their containers on high sea are in good shape. Or you see them with their sales books and calculators balancing their sales for the day.
So, next time when you come across these kind of people in Aba or Onitsha, bow and great them.
