He also sells fuel, kerosene, and engine oil with many of his filling stations and retail outlets located across the country. One of Jezco&#8217;s subsidiaries, Jezco Lubricants, was even recognized with an award from Mitsubishi Motors.<\/p>\n<p>The young multi-billionaire enjoys traveling across the world as a hobby. He also enjoys flaunting his luxurious lifestyle on the media and this has attracted him a massive following on various media outlets. Jowi Zaza lives in one of his own mansions in the United Kingdom. He also owns a mansion at Chevron drive, Lekki, and his mansion in Banana Island is said to be worth over N1 billion.<\/p>\n<p>His love for fast exotic cars is beyond explanation.

A blogger once revealed that Jowi Zaza was responsible for the frivolous lifestyle of Mercy Eke, a piece of news neither the billionaire nor the BBNaija star cared to debunk.<\/p>\n<p>Mercy was also accused of snatching the young billionaire from her close friend Sophia Egbueje who at the time was his girlfriend.<\/p>\n<p>Sophia Chinwe Egbueje is a popular Nigerian socialite and entrepreneur often known for her flamboyant lifestyle. The beautiful celebrity who is also of the Igbo tribe and from Anambra state, became popular after the news of her dating Jowi Zaza was made public.<\/p>\n<p>Sophia also received her fair share of controversy when she was dragged alongside Mercy and labeled Jowi&#8217;s escort. Sophia in reply bragged about being proud to be Jowi Zaza&#8217;s escort. While referring to herself as &#8220;the highest-paid escort&#8221; in Nigeria, the beautiful socialite lashed out at people she presumed are haters of her lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHighest paid escort in Nigeria.
