He was born in 1862 in Zempelburg, a small town in Germany. His father sent him to Berlin at the age of 12 to take up an apprenticeship with a leather wholesale firm. He returned to the family transport business three years later in 1878. He soon found himself more frequently transporting building materials instead of grain. It was this transportation of building materials that led to his becoming increasingly familiar with the construction industry.
When he had learned enough, he switched professions and started his own construction company named after him. Julius Berger came into Nigeria in August 1965. The first bridge they constructed in Nigeria was Eko Bridge in Lagos. They also built the 3rd Mainland Bridge. He died in 1942.

Legendary julius Berger.
Wow, good to see his face
Ok
He looks the name.Smart business tycoon
His name will live on for a long time! He has being dead more than 70 years, yet the world still knows his name. That is the kind of fame I want.
Nice, but Julius Berger is only "Nigeria renowned" and not "world renowned"...
Genius always have that kind of weird looks.
Check out Socrates, Aristotle, Einstein, Buddha, etc
Abeg, government should start encouraging Nigerians by giving them these jobs. I am still an undergraduate of mechanical engineering but I hope one day to start a construction company in Nigeria.
Thank you linda...... Pls give us more intelligent write ups like this and not what some Razzoooo is wearing in Dubai
See the Man's nose. It looks as though it was also constructed by his company. Damn!
That is the type of fame I seek, the type that lives on long after I am done! He has being dead for 73 years yet his dream lives on.
Legend.
Whao!!!! Ironically, julius berger isn't even well recognized in germany but has become the Number 1 construction company to be reckoned with in Nigeria.

When she said Julius Berger came into Nigeria in 1965, She meant "Julius Berger" as a company not the man himself. Simple reasoning.
This heat is too much to comment. Using one hand to hold fone and the other to type. My head is skipping

HIS COMPANY CAME INTO NIGERIA IN 1965 AND NOT THE MAN HIMSELF!! Kai!! Had to type that in caps because the number of people mixing that line up is just hilarious. Common sense isn't common afterall. LMFAO!!! (and for the brainless fucktards who may want to attack, may thunder shock your brains back to life... *tongue out*)
She meant the company and not the man himself. Na wa o
U are an idiot
Na ur own ghost. Idiot. The company Came to naija after he died. Later, u go say u go school.
JB did not build 3MB, He died before he came to Nigeria to build Eko bridge
How come he came to niger in 1965 and died in 1942.
which means that He died before he entered niger or he entered niger before he died.
Any way what a greatman
Role model

This is the kind of info we need not some stupid eggplant she always post
Yeaa! I remember that story. Something about him wanting to build a bridge and em mami water don't want any bridge above their water. So he exchanged his soul for the bridge. I love conspiracy theories
Company based in Germany.
How come he built bridges 1695 and died 1942
Great name, great legacy, the great achiver

Kai... na wa o. it's so embarrassing how many of you a misunderstanding something so simple! The company came into Nigeria in 1965 and not the man himself!! What manner of fuckery are you people displaying like this?
You need to use your brain rather! The company was named after him and it came into Nigeria in 1965... not Julius Berger himself!! Ugh!!!
Mumu. Read the post again. It was the company that came to Nigeria after his death.
Shut up!! She's very correct. YOU should try to read and understand something before typing shit!! Julius Berger as a company came into Nigeria in 1965... and not the man! #Vexing!
Look at another fool
As in! It's so alarming. And some of these people will tell you they are "graduates"... just look at the display of half-baked brains. looool *Linda Ikeji, if you like swallow this comment the way you've been swallowing my previous comments on this post. Msheeeew!*

he came to nigeria in 1965 and he died in 1942, aunty linda u cam lie ooo...chano pozo says sooo
You have written extremely brilliant. Nice post.
kimera
He Died in a concentration camp because he was a Jew. He knew nothing about Nigeria and the fact that his company takes a leading role in development in Nigeria is due to the bi-lateral trade agreements signed between Nigeria and Germany in 1965. However this notwithstanding this company has contributed significantly to the ongoing development in Nigeria.
