This is a mansion erected by former governor of Abia state, His Excellency Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu at his home town Igbere. Named after his first daughter Neya Uzor Kalu.The over 400 rooms CAMP NEYA, which is reputed to be the most flamboyant, intimidating and stylish home of any individual in Nigeria was completed in 1998 and Commissioned by former Abia Milad Col. Anthony Obi on May 28th 1999.Over 150 eye popping shots of the most flamboyant piece of edifice in Nigeria, and perhaps the entire Africa. These are
not just ordinary everyday pictures but amazing, jaw dropping shots; a painstaking coverage of the the camp, peeping into the most restricted parts of the mansion. High definition shots that will leave you grasping for breath. From the expansive compound, Architectural perfection, bad and detailed interiors you've never seen in your entire life; places you'll never believe existed in Nigeria, CAMP NEYA is more than an edifice; it's a statement! It means different things to different people, but to every sound mind, it's a structural definition of the enigma and quintessential persona ORJI UZOR KALU.
Completed before Kalu's 38th birthday, CAMP NEYA houses over 400 rooms comprising of over 36 jumbo sized sitting rooms, A 12 room presidential lodge, Governors lodge for all the 36 states and FCT, A 5000 capacity Conference Hall, A banquet hall, a Karioke hall, 22 Kitchens, 102 toilets, 76 Bathrooms, 187 bedrooms, A golf course, a foothball pitch, An Olympic sized swimming pool, one indoor swimming pool, Basket ball court, Lawn tennis court, Sports centre, A church, a mosque, a bush bar, a filling station, ATM machines, A clinic, children's recreation centre, an ICT centre, several gardens, A police post, A military detachment, etc. It is amazing, breath taking, overwhelming intimidating and humbling. It is out of this world; a world of it's own!

omg! unbelievable! I tap into this blessing...
ReplyDeleteAre you serious,this is not blessing,if Nigeria was a sane country he be in jail.how can a normal person build a 400bedroom house meanwhile during his tenure there was not a single good road in abia state.
DeleteMy sis I follow you tap am
DeleteRead well, before he became a Governor
DeleteEwoooooo. Ego ezuru ezu.
ReplyDeleteWhat?! You can't speak English huh? I wonder why most of you come on blogs to showcase sheer timidity...Stella, it's time to ban comments that aren't in English on this blog! Arrant Nonsense!!!
DeleteLucinda
Hey girl, have u not used ur mother tongue to write on this blig before? Just asking cos I've seen it once.
DeleteLucinda...no vex naa... u can speak Indian naa... dis na naijaa blog... at least 1/3 of us can grab wat ever any1 says in any naija language at any time...
Deleteit just shows the crass stupidity of the average african rich individual.how many of the 400 rooms can he and his family sleep in till they grow old and die?
ReplyDeletewhen he dies will his children be able to adequately maintain the property?
are there no poor and homeless people in his village that he could build affordable 2 bed low cost flats for and then inculcate it in his compound as a mini city with a separate entrance to his main house?
in the next ten years he will see his house turn to an old fashioned mansion with many more houses that will be more beautiful.
zuckerberg and co at their young age are richer than him,yet they have not let the billions control them rather they control the money..an average white multi millionaire or billionaire at kalu's age are using their money to install legacies that will outlive them,this one is building white elephants..
Henry ford,Rockefeller have been dead for several years but their name can never be forgotten because their foundation is not only helping out americans but funding projects in african countries and nigeria

ReplyDeleteHmmm.. After reading this piece i now believe that truly the black man has a very big problem...This black skin is i am sorry to say this but , ok i wont use the word i have in mind. For goodness sake you can only sleep in one room at a time, and u will die and be buried like any other man just that your casket will cost more.it is all vanity! To think that some families are homeless!...... The black man!
ReplyDeleteMoi,

DeleteCompleted in 1998? So Orji Uzor Kalu was kind of a billionaire before he became a governor in 1999? Jeez. This is almost too good to be true. Where on earth did he get that kind of money? A project like this could cost over N10billion. Dear stella, please pass me some of your bitter kola abeg, I no fit shout...
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, 400 rooms is just overkill. Sheer extravagance. I could think of way better, more economical uses for that money spent in building that monstrosity. But hey its his money, not mine *yawns*
ReplyDeleteGuess we would be seeing a lot of "blessing tappers" on this post *rme*

DeleteWide eye that's the advice you can give abi? Ode!
DeleteSqueeze a lemon into a cup,add some. Warm water n drink. If u can,take this morning n before u go to bed at night. Take some exercises n walk a lot. U'll see a monumental difference in weeks. Also,no carbs after 6pm. If u can,try fruit fast foor a week. No food,just diff fruits for one week. If u see oolong tea,take it. Pls,no drugs,they don't help.
Deletevanity upon vanity, nigeria and der policy.
ReplyDeleteProperty will be turned into a hotel by the kids if they do not sell it off. What is the essence? It is just too big for anything but a hotel. Who puts this kinda hotel in the village?
ReplyDeleteVery soon, the property will be dilapidated as no one will be living in it. To clean this house everyday go be warfare.

ReplyDelete@ Lucinda, you sometimes type in your own dialect and Stella doesn't ban your comments so don't be a hypocrite.
ReplyDeleteI can't help but think this is blood money. Back then when I was in uni, he and his useless friends used to carry babes from different universities there in the east to this house in igbere! Guess it must have been a huge shag fest. Lol. I'm wishing I didn't turn down that one offer to go, just to see this place with my eyes but liver been nor gree me.
VALERIE.
Better start thanking your lucky stars,you for don kpeme!
DeleteVanity upon vanity.

ReplyDeleteAt August 4, 2013 at 1:59 AM, must you insult someone for sharing their opinion? Do you know you sound like you lack home-training? Just asking questions so don't get mad.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to see a psychiatrist I think! I wonder where this kind of money came from!
ReplyDeleteIt cannot be turned to a hotel, mind you! Who will go there and for what?
It is better quickly turned into a piggery, so that it can at least generate some economic value.
Well spoken. When I first saw this, I now asked,' if this man fails to make heaven', I believe maybe if he dies and is sent back to this world again ' if anything like that exists, he will come back as a beggar in front of his house and he will be humiliated and thrown away by his children or gate men not knowing he was the real Uzo who came back to witness the wasteful part of life before and after.
