I never allow myself get carried away because I have some millions, that’s why I laugh anytime I see a lady who wants to marry a man because ‘he has cash’. Life isn’t that way. A rich man can go broke, a broke man can become rich, it’s all about time and chance. We should just learn to live right.
According to SR, high-flying businessman Emeka Offor is now broke. How did it happen?
Several sources, including employees of his various companies who have not been paid for months, told SR that the flamboyant businessman and politician is so cash-strapped that he frequently travels between Abuja and Lagos by road these days.
Emeka Offor used to take private jets for his trips within and outside Nigeria. But our sources said he has since last year been unable to afford the jets, which cost $6,000 per hour. “In the last two months, Chief Offor has traveled three times by road from Abuja to Lagos,” one source disclosed. He added that the owners of a leased private jet that Mr. Offor used to travel in confiscated the aircraft because the businessman could not pay accumulated lease fees.
According to the sources, Mr. Offor still has enough money to afford to make local first class flights in Nigeria, but has chosen the road option for fear that people may wonder what has become of his private jet if they see him on commercial planes.
“We do not know how things have become so hard for Sir E,” said a relative of the businessman who hails from Oraifite community in Anambra State. The relative added that Mr. Offor’s father died last February, but has yet to be buried because of the businessman’s financial crisis. “Sir E’s father’s remains have been in the mortuary in Ekwusigo Local Government Area for the past seven months because Sir E wants to give him a high profile burial which he cannot afford right now. He gets very hostile whenever we the relatives ask him when the old man’s burial will take place.”
It was gathered that Mr. Offor’s companies in Abuja have for one year been under lock and key due to severe business challenges. Several disenchanted employees told SR that Mr. Offor stopped paying their salaries shortly after President Muhammadu Buhari came to power in May 2015.
