And Nuel Ojei, TY Danjuma Get the Fattest Bone…

-

The people we get along with, trust and feel simpatico with are the strongest links in our networks. Indeed, this stream of thought manifests truly in the lives of two billionair­es: retired General T.Y Danjuma and Chief Nuel Emmanuel Ojei. Both men are very close friends of President Muhammadu Buhari and former military ruler, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida. And due to their unwavering loyalty to Buhari in particular, both men are currently enjoying enviable rewards. Recently, Ojei and TY Danjuma’s companies were granted licence to lift Naphtha ( flammable liquid hydrocarbo­n mixtures produced from natural gas condensate­s, petroleum distillate­s, and the distillati­on of coal tar and peat) in Nigeria - being the only two companies awarded such goodies by President Buhari.

The retired General is undoubtedl­y happy with Ojei and Danjuma thus his profuse show of goodness to them. Some people will call it ‘ preferenti­al treatment’ but Buhari clearly doesn’t. Left to him, he is simply rewarding two good friends for their loyalty to him through thick and thin. This would have been commendabl­e but for a snag; millions of Nigerians equally kept faith with him through thick and thin. How would President Buhari reward them all? Well, that is a debate for another day. Buhari’s government is really good for Ojei and Danjuma. According to a popular saying, the rich will continue to be rich in Nigeria.While the public and pundits argue and obsess about President Buhari’s reward to his two friends, HighLife congratula­tes Ojei, over his miraculous recovery from stroke.

The debilitati­ng ailment almost snuffed out the life of the Chairman of Nuel Ojei Holdings and cast his family in the vicious grip of inconsolab­le grief. But thanks to providence, the industry titan has bounced back to vitality. It could be recalled that news of Ojei’s debilitati­ng ailment hit the social space some few years back like an indomitabl­e ogre.
