260 REV. FR. KINGSLEY UGOCHUKWU DIAKU my beloved brother, you have gone and gone forever.
Your coming into the priesthood in 2012 brought joy and happiness to the entire big family of UMUEWECHI in UMUCHIEZE, OBOLLO UGIRI, ISIALA MBANO LGA, IMO STATE.
Myself Fr Anyanwu I Kingsley, CSSp. and Fr Gregory Nduka were so delighted to have you join us in the ministerial priesthood which brought about the joyful Trio-Priesthood in Christ; a reflection of the Trinity of God, in our dear village Umuewechi.
Suddenly this great joy was shattered by your demise. Indeed the Trio-Priesthood has been broken, our mood downcasted. Deep seated sorrows behold us now.
Your death has dealt the entire family a very grievous blow, the wounds of whose scares cannot be effaced.
God knows why He has chosen to call you home at this tender and vibrant age of your priesthood and life.
As the mother Earth welcomes you today, may you continue to rest in peace in the bosom of God Almighty where pains, sickness and sorrows will be no more.
Adieu my beloved cousin!
Laa N'udo! Jee Nkeoma! Till we meet to part no more.
FR ANYANWU I KINGSLEY, CSSp.

274 Sir Louis Philip Odumegwu Ojukwu, KBE

A lot of people may not know Sir Louis Philip Odumegwu Ojukwu besides the fact that he is the father of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Former Military Governor of the Defunct Eastern Region, and Leader of the Unsuccessful Biafra Republic.

But as a matter of fact, he is one of the greatest and richest entrepreneurs ever produced in Africa.

Louis Ojukwu was born in Nnewi, present day Anambra State of Nigeria in 1909 and was the second and only male child of four children.

He started his educational pursuit at Government Primary School, Asaba. In 1922, he proceeded to the only secondary school in the Eastern Region (that is present day, South-South and South East Geo-Political Zones) at the time, Hope Waddell Training Institute, Calabar and graduated in 1928.

After a brief stint at the Agriculture Department, in 1929, twenty year old Louis Ojukwu moved to Lagos with nothing, but 10 years later, he was already managing his own chain of businesses which included, Ojukwu Stores, Ojukwu Textiles and Ojukwu Transport Company. By 1950, Ojukwu Transport Company had over 200 Trucks in its fleet.

In Lagos, he secured a job at John Holt as a Tyre Sales Clerk. It was while working there that he observed that many Igbo traders who came to Lagos to buy tyres also bought textiles as well and the severe strain a lack of adequate transportation had on Eastern Textile Traders.

With his meagre saving, Louis Ojukwu travelled to Onitsha and opened his first business venture called ‘Ojukwu Stores’ and employed one of his relatives to oversee it. He then returned to Lagos and started sending down textiles through lorries to his shop in Onitsha while still working at John Holt. Soon, his textile business boomed.

By 1930, he bought a second hand truck and employed a driver in other to start transporting his goods himself and thus 'Ojukwu Transport Company' was born. Working with the West African Railway Company and the newly inaugurated Produce Boards, he also made his fleet of trucks available for the transportation of commodities of other traders.

Ojukwu Transport Company was the first transport company between the Eastern Region and Lagos from the Asaba end of the River Niger after they have crossed over from Onitsha by boat.

Louis Ojukwu worked tirelessly and by end of the 1930's, he was the major transport service provider on the East-West Road.

With the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the British Government requested the use of Ojukwu’s fleet of trucks for the war effort to which he agreed.

When the war ended in 1945, the British Government recognized the sacrifices he made and honoured him with Knight of the British Empire (KBE). The end of the war also created a high demand for raw materials from West Africa which helped Ojukwu Transport Company explode within a short time, so he diversified into other businesses.

Some of Sir Ojukwu's early drivers such as Chief Ilodibe (Ekene Dili Chukwu) Transport Company and Chief Izuchukwu (Izuchukwu Transport Company) would later become Transport moguls themselves.

Sir Louis Ojukwu was so wealthy that in 1956 when Queen Elizabeth II visited Nigeria, the British authorities borrowed his Rolls Royce Silver Wraith and personal driver to chauffeur the Queen around.

Louis Ojukwu was also the Financial Pillar of Nnamdi Azikiwe’s NCNC Party. So when the party came to power in 1960, he was offered the position of Finance Minister, but he turned it down, and the position was given to Chief Okotie-Eboh.

Sir Louis died in September 1966 in Nkalagu, present day Ebonyi State, Nigeria.

Sir Louis CV is the most intimidating I have ever seen and probably will ever see. He was:

1. The Founding President of the Nigerian Stock Exchange

2. President, African Continental Bank

3. Chairman, Nigerian Cement Company (NIGERCEM)

4. CEO, Ojukwu Transport Company

5. Chairman, Nigerian National Shipping Line

6. Chairman, Lion of Africa Insurance Company

7. Chairman, BISCO Nigeria Limited

8. Chairman, Nigerian Industrial Development Bank

9. Vice President, Lagos Chamber Of Commerce

10. Chairman, Palm Line Shipping Company

11. Chairman, Nigerian Produce Marketing Board

12. Chairman, Eastern Nigerian Development Corporation

13. Chairman, Costain West Africa

14. Director, Shell D'Arcy Petroleum

15. Director, Thomas Wyatt & Son

16. Director, Nigerian Coal Corporation

17. Director, Guinness Nigeria Limited

18. Director, Nigerian Tobacco Company

19. Director, Daily Times of Nigeria

The man was simply larger than life. Sir Louis also owned numerous building, landed properties and stocks. It is estimated that as at the time he died in September 1966, he was worth about 4 Billion Dollars in today's money.

There is no age limit to create your own business, but opportunities do have age limit.

For example, Bill Gates knew that the business opportunity of building Operating System for Personal Computers has an age limit, so he was so much in a hurry to catch up with the opportunity before its age limit so he dropped out of university to start Microsoft Corporation.

Steve Jobs also knew that the business opportunity of building affordable Personal Computer has a age limit, so he was so much in a hurry to catch up with it, that he dropped out of school to start Apple Inc.

Mark Zuckerberg also knew that Social Media was the biggest business opportunity of his time which also has an age limit, so he was so much in a hurry to catch up with the business opportunity before it reaches its age limit, so he quickly dropped out of university to start Facebook Inc.

Although there is no age limit to start a business, but every business opportunity has an age limit.

Don't wait when one comes your way.

No wealthy person had only one source of income. Spread your seed.

289 The murder of Barnabas Igwe, his wife, Abigail and their unborn baby, in Onitsha, Anambra State. Barnabas Igwe was then the chairman of the Onitsha branch of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA). His wife was also a lawyer based in Onitsha. They were travelling in a car when some shadowy characters emerged from nowhere and assassinated them with machetes. Mrs Abigail was pregnant, and the murderers did not spare the unborn baby. Barnabas Igwe was then at loggerheads with the state government, and in his capacity as the chairman of the biggest and most vibrant Bar Association branch in the state demanded the state governor to pay striking workers and then resign for incompetence.  Barrister IGWE Barrister Barnabas Chidi (X1350)
 
290 The name is Amaechi Muonagor. I’m from Obosi. Obosi is located in Idemili L.G.A of Anambra. I attended St. Mary’s Primary School, Obosi. Oraifite Grammar School and then the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) where I read Statistics with bias in Economics. I finished in 1987. I did my Youth Service in Kaduna with the Centre for Education Management, it was then located along Dawaki Road. After that, I picked up a job with NAN (News Agency of Nigeria). I was there till I got into acting.



How exactly did you get into acting?
I would rather say it was accidental because I was just at a talkshow somewhere around the National Theatre. It happened that some of those involved in this production came around to drink in one of the bars. While doing that, I overheard them complaining about one of the characters not being able to carry his role. So, when eventually we got talking, they said it was my kind of voice that they needed for the role. There and then, they asked me to go through the script and that was how I got my first role as Akunatakasi in Taboo 1.



You said you were drinking with some of your friends. How about telling us their names?
I was there with Nnamdi Igweonu and Nnamdi Agwuegboo. But the director was Chris Obirapu, now in USA.



What other profession would you have opted for if you were not acting?
I could have continued with my work as a staff of NAN. And maybe by now, I should have gotten to a level that will see me in the management cadre.



What did you leave NAN as?
I left as Principal Commercial Officer (Level 12). So, if I had continued with them, I should have gotten to level 14 by now which you know is a senior management level. And if I had gotten to that height, I should have saved enough money that might enable me to set up my own business now. It’s always been my desire to have my own private business.



What’s the highest amount that you have collected as an artiste?
That’s supposed to be private, because most of these things that they say they collect is not true. I don’t want to tell lies. I want that one to be silent between me and my marketers. The money is not too important.



What about your lowest?
My lowest was for my first movie. They cheated me a lot, but I never bothered about money then. It was just the interest.



How much were you paid then?
I think then I was given either N4,500 or thereabout and it was a big money then. I didn’t even ask for the money. I wasn’t particular about money then. They just gave me the money and I took it home, happy. It was when I took acting seriously that I now asked questions and since then I’ve been appreciating.



Which movie did you do after Taboo 1?
Ashes of Hared was my second and they really paid better and from there, I started growing. I can’t say I’m earning this or that, but I know I’m being paid well.



Do you have anybody that you look up to as a role model?
Yes. I like the way Liz Benson comes out in all her jobs. As a young girl, she is there, even as an old woman. Then, you talk about Sam Loco, Pete Edochie, Olu Jacobs. They are good actors, honestly speaking.



Amaechi-Muonagor1Will you allow any of your kids to act?
Why not! If they so desire. I’ve come to realize that it has a lot of prospects. So, if I have a kid who says he wants to become an actor, I will encourage him.



Which food do you have as a favourite?
I eat anything. I don’t know the one that is my favourite, but if I have to make a choice, it has to be rice, beans and plantain. In fact, anything I get at home, that is what my wife prepares for me to say welcome.



What about your favourite drink?
I like Stout. I don’t drink any other thing. I only drink Brandy sparingly and occasionally.



Which car do you have as your favourite?
(Smiles) I like this Lincoln Navigator. If wishes were horse, one would have owned one by now (still smiling).



What about your favourite colours?
Oh! White. I like white a lot.



What about music?
I like jazz.



You are married, right? Tell us about your wife and family?
I have a very nice wife, a lovely wife. Her name is Hope Chikodi Muonagor. I’m very fond of her because she is my backbone.



How did you meet her?
It’s a long story. But there was this girl that I wanted to marry only to later find that it wasn’t going to be possible again. She later linked me up with this babe, that’s my wife, and I found everything I was looking for in a wife in her. She has what even the first babe didn’t have. She is an ideal woman. She has everything that any man can ask for in a woman. When we met after the introduction, we dated for some time and when I found out that she was the woman for me, I got convinced and went ahead and married her and since then, I’ve not had any cause to complain.



What was it that you found out about the other woman that made you change your mind?
That’s past tense. Let’s not talk about that.



What do you hate about yourself?
I like the way I am. I don’t hate anything about myself. I enjoy the way I am because that’s the way God has made me to be.



What can you say about Nigeria’s movie industry?
Well, the industry has come to stay. We’ve actually improved because if you look back, you will see that we have really come of age. Given everything, I think we can compete with the Western world now. Even the so-called Hollywood cannot do better if we have all the things at their disposal.



What role are you playing in The Price?
I’m playing the role of Elder Francis.



What is the role all about?
Elder Francis is one of the members of the Board of Trustees of the church, Holy Ghost Tabernacle Church. In fact, he’s their spokeman.



How do you see the movie generally?
It’s a fine story and it’s going to be another movie to watch because the story is good and thank God we have good actors too to interpret it.



So, what made you agree to be part of The Price?
When you see a fine story, you can’t help but want to be part of it. The Price is a fascinating movie with a fascinating story.
