Farooq Oreagba: From dollar millionaire at 30 to England labourer at 35

Nigerian businessman Farooq Oreagba, known as Mr. Steeze, said he was a dollar‑millionaire at age 30 before losing his banking job. Within five years he was working as a labourer in England.

He recounted the story on Ebuka Obi‑Uchendu’s MENtality show, co‑hosted by Banky W, using a hypothetical offer of $10 million for only 24 hours of life to stress that living outweighs wealth. Oreagba reflected that his priorities were misplaced and warned that many chase money while neglecting what truly matters.
