How Ochacho Made His First Billion
According to the businessman, he worked as an agent for a company that exported charcoal to Chinese buyers.
“I made my first 1 billion naira at age 21 years old,” he said.
Explaining how he reached the milestone, Ochacho said,
“I was doing a business called coal business (charcoal) so I got all these Chinese people, and I was an agent to a company to export the coal.”

“I am not a type of person that is against anybody, what I want is good governance,” he said.
