Before we talk about the hotel, letโs talk about who Cheddar actually is. ๐
Nana Kwame Bediako. Also known as Freedom Jacob Caesar. Born February 13, 1980 in Kumasi, Ghana.
His mother was poor. His father was wealthy. He grew up watching both sides of money.
As a child, when his father gave both him and his brother money, his brother bought bread and eggs. Cheddar bought two hens, started a poultry business and sold the eggs.
That mindset never left him.
He studied at Accra Academy, Apam Senior High School and later at Waltham Forest College and University of Westminster in the UK.
In the UK, he started trading clothes and telecom materials to survive. He eventually built a full telecoms company, Global Telecommunications and Utilities, and sold it to an investor.
With that capital, he returned to Ghana and went into real estate.
His first innovation: build two houses on one plot instead of one. Double the units. Double the profit.
That single idea launched the Kwarleyz Group, a conglomerate with 5 subsidiaries:
๐ข Wonda World Estates
๐ข Petronia City Construction
๐ข Belfast City & Property Management
๐ข New Africa Construction
๐ข Capital Nine Zero Fund
He has developed over 500 residential and rental units in Ghana. Properties in UK, Dubai and a $7M mansion in Bel Air, Los Angeles.
Estimated net worth: $1.2 billion, reportedly making him wealthier than Osei Kwame Despite.
He ran for President of Ghana in December 2024 as an independent candidate under the name Freedom Jacob Caesar and came third.
He calls himself the Prince of Africa. His wife Ruby is a pastor and co-founder of True Word of God Ministries International. They have been married since he was 19.
This is the man at the centre of the Oxford Street Hotel story.
A billionaire. A visionary. A man who turned a poultry business into a real estate empire.
Now fighting a US$16 million legal battle in two countries.
