King Ochacho: The Silent Billionaire of Nigeria's Real Estate

Mohamed Usman Adah, also known as King Mohammed Adah or by his brand name Ochacho, was born on 25 August 1977 in Kaduna State, Nigeria, and is originally from Otukpo, Benue State. He is a Christian and the son of Elder Benson Adah and Hajiya Hauwa Ali Ochacho Aloga.

His net worth is estimated between $20 million and $50 million, with the most frequently cited figure being $48 million. Adah's entrepreneurial journey began in charcoal exports before he founded a company in 2006 that provided loans to small and medium enterprises.

This company was rebranded as Ochacho Real Homes in 2017, headquartered in Abuja. Over time, his interests expanded into hospitality, aviation, and petroleum, leading to the formation of the Ochacho Group, which includes various registered companies.

As the founder and chairman of Ochacho Real Homes, he has developed residential estates and commercial properties, making real estate his primary source of wealth. In 2021, he was recognized as one of Nigeria's Top 10 Business Idols for Young People.
