It's wrong to say lgbos engage in money worshipping because of the audacious display of wealth by obi cubana.
Cubana did not do half of what mike adenuga or razak okoya did. Yet no one accused yorubas of wealth display

For every obi cubana, there are thousands of lgbos with money, you have neva heard off and don't engage in display of money. Cosharis, peter obi, orjiakor have money but no one hears of them.

Secondly a man with 1 million can be unnecessarily loud and boastful while another with 1 billion can be quite. That lgbo chap that sold his coy to apple, how many times have you heard of him. There is an old man from imo with 46 properties in London, yet until i worked briefly for him in London, i have neva heard of the man.

Prior to now, i like most people have neva heard of obi cubana. Every one might have heard of Cubana chief priest and assumed he owns cubana club.

There is this lgbo man that have the largest number of chalets for short term let in lagos, very rich but many have neva heard of him.

If anyone has made it tribal it is Ibos

Not just here but in any area of life when an Ibo man does something wrong and is criticized Ibos immediately rqlly round and ignore the issues and start portraying it as an attack on Ibos.

There are countless examples of this

This is a fundamental and core trait of dishonesty and clannishness.

I am critical of what I saw.
Much of what I am critical f did not involve the Cubana man directly but his guest and what I see as the obscene display of money

I would say the same thing about a Yoruba.
I can say with pride that Yoruba will criticize their own but Ibos will support any and everything once an Ibo is involved

Some are even trying to tell us this is Ibo culture

Money is not the problem. The problem is the worship of money and the desperation of an average igbo man.
The worship of money and the desperation of an average igbo man, is the reason 20 pounds turned most igbos to millionaires and billionaires , if not igbos could have remained the poorest tribe in Nigeria like they were in 1970

Keep crying while I keep saying the truth, we igbos worship money, don't you see our wedding list

This is one of the reason I keep Insisting everyone should mind their own state because it is now a norm to come online and be spewing trash.

The burial happened in Anambra and that's how it used to be whether big or small.....and Anambra people have never complained for ages...

Bikonu for once you guys should face your states and failures of your leaders

We are not running a monarchy but federal system with each state independent on their own.

When you reach Ohanaeze meeting, discuss cultural issues there.

Look you can't be dining with politicians and have dusty roads and pot holes everywhere now tell me what is the point? I have no business with the way they spend their money me I am trying to cover their shame, igbos we say aku runo.. Would the fulanis stop governor ls from giving us BRT? Or a tech hub? I don't think so because that is not an airport or seaport.

Would fulanis stop governors from Developing onicha water front? Look we have visionless people

The guy is a show biz man I understand but some things are not supposed to be the way it is and even your visitors would talk behind you.

Spray money but do it when we are like dubai and we must stop worshipping money in igbo land, it is OK to drive a Toyota


Leave Onitsha, go and develop your village.

Anambra no beg you to help them.

Go and tell your governors to develop your village

Onitsha no be your father's plot or property.

Mumu was Lagos and Abuja ever destroyed in a civil war like igboland? Was cape Town Destroyed in a civil war?
Not even Lagos and Abuja can compete with cape Town

Whatever igbos have they did it individually with no help from anyone no self made igbo man owes you good roads in igbo land
The op said the truth . It’s just that you guys are too arrogant to accept the truth when you are being told one.
You guys worship money a lot . You have one of the worse roads but you all do not seem to care . You region is ravage with deep erosion and muddy road that are not motor-able but you guys don’t care . You just take delight in throwing money around just inform ur sick society (that is money driven ) that you have arrived or to show ur other rich friends that you are richer than them . Everything is all about the show and after that you travel back to Lagos or Abuja where u have built ur Mansions and leave ur erosion stricken state just the way you met it .

You have political friends but you only use them to show off and show ur society that u have connection .Then of what use are these politicians , if they cannot be use to effect change in ur community or society ?

How many of your suppose rich men have foundations that is created to sponsore young and intelligent Igbos sons and daughter through scholarship ?

How many good healthcare centers can you you guys boast of in Anambra? It’s not ur fault that you reason this way . You talk like this becos u are a product of this very sick society that the op is talking about .

You don’t even know that what the op is saying is what all of us should be reasoning about after what Obi Cubana did .

Ezego came and went but he left no legacy .The same thing applies to all the wealthy Igbos sons .What will be their legacy when they die ? Nothing .

People will only talk about how grand their burials were and how money was sprayed in the air for all to pick and food & drink available for all to drink but after that ,life goes on and the person becomes one of the dead.

Thank the op for talking sense im addressing this ill in our society as it appears we have all gone mad in Nigeria .

You think Singapore and China fell from the sky?

It was all coordinated leadership

Chairman Mao set up the pathway for Chinas development we see today

While Lee quan yew developed Singapore being there prime minister for over 3 decades


You are the one to ask yourself soul searching question why there is not even one successful, developed black nation on the Earth

Leave the igbo man alone
The Igbo man don't owe you any explanation
After all the igbo man is under the rulership of Nigeria

The igbo man has done well for herself
We don't owe anyone any apology

As for no one wanting to marry Igbos
That one na story

Many Igbo parents frown at there children marrying outsiders

Because we respect marriage

Look at Obi Cubana
With all his success
He just has only one wife

It will be even ok if others leave us to be marrying ourselves

Our men and women are not even enough amongst us self

No. you don’t get it really . It’s practices like, that is responsible for most of our youth engaging in all kind of dark activities just to get quick money .
They too would like to be Rich like Obi & be able to throw money around too, so that they will also be the talk of the town .
If you think there is nothing wrong with these quest for fast cash and the various crimes these our young engage in just becos of this kind of practices & the societal pressure that comes with it , then there is no point prolonging this conversation with u .

Truth is bitter.
There's a proverb that said " when relatives gather behind a closed door and they all come out smiling and hugging each other, all they did behind the closed door is lied and deceived each other ".
" But the moment they started fighting, shouting and wrestling each right from behind the closed door, and everyone left in anger, the truth has been said and somany of them can't stand the truth ".

There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, rich men throwing money around can't be held responsible for what all criminals do out there, everyone should cut their coat according to their size

Obi Cubana no even reach 1st 500 of Rich individuals from Anambra State

Na just young boy we get small money and wanted to do some stunting

Una come dey cry online

Abeg make una shift one side

And money you see in the East
Na money made from hustling
Not people tied to government pocket thereby amassing wealth

Look at Obi Cubana
No link whatsoever with any government agency or deal

You ain't making any sense

The Igbo man has contributed his quota to the development of his region

The igbos collectively built Imo airport while other places where built by the government

Nigerias major problem is a leadership problem

And the East has had unfortunate leaders

Moreover the East was neglected by the government at the center

This is one of the reasons that led to many youths in the East buying into Ipob propaganda

It's a leadership problem that will keep on bedeviling the nation once we are still under one rulership

But the average Igbo man has done well for himself
