He revealed that although he became a dollar millionaire at 30, It did not guarantee generational success.

Nigerian businessman Farooq Oreagba, popularly known as “Mr. Steeze” after his viral appearance at the 2024 Ojude Oba Festival, has opened up on his views on life, money and success.

The cancer survivor, while speaking on The Black Table with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, spoke about the society’s obsession with material wealth.

He revealed that although he became a dollar millionaire at 30, It did not guarantee generational success.

“I was a dollar millionaire at 30. At 35, I was working as a labourer in England. I’d lost my job as a banker, and to maintain that lifestyle, I was hustling, doing all kinds of things, but nobody saw it. The Porsches were still outside. I had my priorities wrong.”

Oreagba also disclosed that despite the fame from his viral Ojude Oba appearance, his lifestyle has remained the same.

“I’m going to be 60 next month, and my lifestyle has not changed. All that has happened is a viral photo brought me to everybody’s attention. You may have 99 problems, but the minute you have a health problem, you only have one problem,” he added.
