Businessman Farooq Oreagba, popularly known as “Mr Steeze,” describes a rapid shift in his fortunes, saying he was a dollar millionaire at age 30 but later worked as a labourer in England at 35. In interviews reported by Nigerian outlets, Oreagba presents his story as a cautionary account of financial highs and subsequent losses. Both sources say the turning point came after he lost a banking job, which they link to his decline from wealth to lower-paid work abroad. Oreagba’s account focuses on his personal experience and how quickly circumstances changed over a five-year period. The reports also note that he shares these reflections to offer perspective on wealth and instability, framing his journey as an example of how easily gains can be reversed. The articles do not provide detailed figures on his earlier wealth or the specific reasons for the job loss, but they consistently outline the timeline: millionaire status at 30, banking employment before the decline, and labour work in England by age 35. The story is presented as Oreagba’s own retrospective narrative.
