rosinkkit: 90% of igbo millionaires and billionaires are EXTREMELY selfish. THEIR OWN FAMILIES SUFFER, apart from the wife and kids.
They rarely do anything for their own communities apart from maybe distribute rice and provisions to the villagers at christmas.
You will see an Igbo man worth several millions of dollars. Some of his brothers/cousins etc will still be hustling on the streets, some even hawking.
You never see that with northerners. Once one of them is rich, and you see the brothers, you won't even know the one that is the big shot, because they're all solid.
When they travel to Dubai, you'll see up to 20 of them at the airport, from Alhaji to his brothers, sisters, mum, dad, cousins, drivers, hairdressers, house helps etc.
An Igbo man, if he travels with anyone, na him wife and maybe his kids. Finish.
More often than not, he just sneaks out alone.
I[b] think the refusal of wealthy Igbos to share their wealth[/b] is a reason for the continued marginalisation of Igbos in Nigeria. Political influence requires that you have a large base of well-to-do elite. When you restrict that elite to a tiny club of monied men, your base is weakened, and easy to manipulate. It is very easy for others to take advantage of your group.
And the wailing continues
Igbo apprenticeship is the best in the world, you don't give your brother fish you teach him to fish , that's why there are more poor people in the North than in igboland
omoharry: 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 .
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
No one has ever blamed people like Mayweather for buying a 2 million dollar wristwatch, or a 100 thousand dollar shoe's or a 3 million dollar necklace
Now Ikpeazu.... People from here have something in common sentiments.
No wonder Nnamdi is misbehaving..
Soon orji Uzor kalu Chinedum orji including his father go wear their own Dot Nation...
If this energy can be translated into good governance then I will say it is worth it but it is just built on stupid sentiments..
Ndi ala
In your mind we should be crying cause one Fulani man called us Dot in a circle? We turn every stone thrown at us to money, just like the chicken change given to us in 1970 we turned it to billions
omoharry: 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 Madison and leave it erosion stricken state the way you left it .
You have political friends but you only use them to show off and yell ur society that u have connection .Then of what use are these politicians , if they cannot be use to effect change in ur 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 a just one of the dead.
Thank the op for talking sense into ya as it appears we have all gone mad in Nigeria .
My friend next time make your comment Shorter
Bad roads are everywhere in Nigeria, go to the communities of all the rich people in Nigeria their states and villages are bad
Don't blame individuals living their lives for what Nigerian government failed to do, every rich igbo man has a mansion in his village, did you see cubanas village mansion?
MrColdsweat: 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
vasel15: Nah I am a freedom fighter or freedom activist, I don't trust politicians, they put us in this mess, zik was a politician, and I tell you again we must stop worshipping money in igbo land, it is OK to drive a Toyota and to be in the middle class
How are you fighting this freedom fight you talk about?
Money must be worshipped as long as it solves problems , no one said is not ok to drive a Toyota and be middle class, you are the one Faulting those that live large
vasel15: 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
You have no right to tell anyone what to do and not to do with his money
vasel15: Stop turning around in circles, we must purge ourselves from the money worshipping disease in igbo land simple, Cubana and Co are politicians and they dine with them.
See the way they the way they are flogging people picking the same money they are spraying. Lol
E bi like say you pick money. Lol
You are a politician just like them, I repeat there is nothing bad in worshiping money , money is a god as long as this world is concerned
Why will people pick money that doesn't belong to them, the money belongs to the host of the invent
vasel15: So you don't know that are politicians? The one called chief priest is a card carrying member of apc, didn't you see Peter obi at the burial and other politicians? I am not moved by people throwing money on dusty roads while flogging people picking the money.
Look it is bad to worship money your Mentality is killing our youths even in other tribes as well not only igbos but we igbos take it to another level
Every Nigerians eligible to vote with PVC is a politician, people collect 1000 naira during election to vote, you yourself you are a politician if you have PVC
You are not moved by the money they were throwing then why are you complaining? Will you be held responsible if anyone go to jail?
The billions of dollars politicians loot do you complain about it like this?
vasel15: I don't know why this Cubana issue turned tribal, we are not talking about war whatever here, is it over 50yrs already, after the war have there not been governors? Even though I have written about the fulanis making igbos suffer by not allowing us have airports or seaports but it should not be an excuse, we have the money to do it on our own, why can't those Cubana gang develop onicha water front?
You have no brt, no train and you have these people dining with apc, even rochas is a member of apc.
I am talking about how igbos worship money and you understand what I mean, I have told igbos stop investing in lagos and Abuja
We must change that our mentality and after this burial do you know how many igbos would land in jail?
How many years did it take to build dubai? I won't stand for nonsense
My friend your question should start and end with the bold, obi cubana has never occupied any political position in Nigeria, he is a business man and has the right to invest anywhere he can get profits ,
We have no brt no trains no , no ports etc and you blame igbo individuals for it? Are you even aware these things are completely in the hands of federal government? Even if igbos have the money to do all these they must seek approver from federal government and it can be denied, why do you think igbos talk about marginalization? With what resources will igbos develop igboland when all the natural resources belongs to federal government?
vasel15: I actually defeated all those fools on twitter, I finished them all, I am a nairaland trained militant, wetin be twitter? I will still stand on the truth, we must stop worshipping money and don't be stupid, cubana is a politician, didn't you see Peter obi and politicians there?
I am not poor and I am not hungry, I am comfortable
There is nothing bad in worshiping money, money is power , obi cubana is a politician? Can you mention any government contract given to him? That young man is self made, you or anyone cant tell him sh*t , it's not your advice that made him rich in the first place
vasel15: Mumu I have asked this before yorubas have lagos and fulanis have Abuja. What do igbos have? Many of those fools that sprayed money on dusty roads at based in naija and lagos they keep developing another man's land, if you jump a pot hole to enter your house a rich man dude you no get money and I ask again which igbo city can compete with Cape Town
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
vasel15: Open your mind before reading to free yourself from mental slavery and please crime is universal,all tribes in Nigeria commit crimes, this is just about the way my people worship money and not all Igbos that blow money get it illegally,Igbos work hard, I can even say more than any other tribe in Nigeria, everything we have we worked hard for it
I saw a post on Twitter by should I say an old igbo man because he's got some white beards, he was comparing those Arabs and Russia to chopping money to those in Nigeria, Russia, and Dubai actually work compared to Igbo land.
I replied and I was angry at him for trying to implant that kind of mentality in our young people, did he actually Compare Igbo land with Dubai and Russians and Asians. Lol. I was pissed because this mentality has landed many Igbos in jail and in Igbo land people worship money and I have always wanted to talk about this but now is the right time to do it, before you rant I am Igbo, and a Biafran
When I replied him I was called a hater and a poor man, lol now you understand the mentality and even one old fool from South Africa wearing lakers at his age telling me to go and make money and before he could block me I blocked his descendants
Look at this point in my life I am happy, I have a business, I have a house in Lagos, I have foreign citizenship and I am paying for a house where I have citizenship, I don't need a Ferrari at this stage in my life, maybe if I win the lottery tomorrow I could Buy a Ferrari or maybe not and with the credit limit I have I Can buy a range, I don't need cash, you all understand how it works.
I am not saying be poor but a modest life is ok. it is ok to drive a Toyota, it is ok to take the brt or train, some people can't travel to their village because they have a Toyota, they want a benz.
Pressure from Igbo society has pushed many youths to their deaths and some in jail.
We have no BRT, no train and no roads, no tech hub in Igbo land
Don't fall for pressure from society and even your parents, we know how Igbo parents talk or let me say Nigerian parents talk, like look at your mate building mansions
Dont give your last money to a native doctor to do ego nbute for you because you want to turn to Cubana overnight.
I was already chopping money at 21 meeting with the CP of Lagos at 21, my brother's wife a Chinese was my supplier then and I made money.
We need to start changing the mentality of our new generation you don't need a Ferrari to enjoy your life and you don't to be Cubana to be a rich man, even the Cubana is not even rich, I know what I mean by rich and this is the problem of the black man we are mentally enslaved and this is why we can't be like the whites, we hear of Walmart that is wealth, generational wealth read about the walton family and understand wealth.
Do you know obi Cubana has no hospital or any reasonable business, club business is crap? Why can't he and his gang of rich men develop onicha waterfront and before you say are they the government come on the one that calls himself chief priest is an APC politician, can't they talk to their politician friends,didn't you see politicians like peter obi at the burial?
No state in Igbo land can compete with Cape Town, shebi una get money, as much as I understand that Cubana is a show biz man but some things are uncalled for especially when you are doing it on dusty and pothole-filled roads
Do you know how many Igbos would land in jail after the Cubana burial?
Many tribes fear marrying Igbos because of the bill they would give them because we worship money
We can blame this worshipping of money on the civil war because the was a race to regain everything that was lost, but now we have it all, and we must stop worshipping money.
Now I understand why Igbos are hated because we love show biz and we do it well and it is not our fault, we just do it better than any other tribe
We must teach our youths that driving a Toyota is ok and we must get rid of this get rich or die trying mentality.
I say to the old people stop killing our youths because you fools worship money, in Igbo land even a little kid with money can talk down an elder without money, this madness must stop
Remember one thing you won't take money or riches anywhere so don't kill yourself to get it if you do someone else would enjoy that money that you killed yourself for or you would kill yourself and still have no money.
I support you to blow your money anyhow but do it after we become like Dubai or China and not when we have dusty and bad roads with potholes or no roads at all and no hospital, we must plan Biafra and we must refuse to make a mistake else we become like the zoo, finally purge yourself from this money worshipping virus.your insults are welcome but i have avery strong skin and I would insult you as well,i don't play
You lost on Twitter and came to nairaland to pour out your heart because nairaland is the only site you are free to rant on empty stomach the igbos have every right to celebrate and show their riches, rub it in the faces of those who took all they had and gave them 20 pounds and don't ever blame private individuals for bad roads in Nigeria
Workch: Obi cubana is a typical example of the Igbo man show off mentality. All his money is like change to a lot of people in Nigeria. All the show off he’s doing with his goons is pointer to the fact that he’s an illiterate that is financially ok.
Who be obi cubana sef for world of men controlling global money? How many times will you see the likes of Adenuga, Dangote, Elon Musk etc do this rubbish they are doing in Oba.
My friend we igbos have a unique culture, leave us to our show off mentality it's in the blood
MalcoImX: The thing is, it's not in the nature of iPoB to talk good of cows except now, maybe because na Cubana (an Igboman) dey take cow dey do show up.
I have heard many ipobs advising igbos to go into cow business so that they can spoil business for fulanis, so I don't understand, that nature of ipob hating cow meat
Ikwerelastborn: how come every igbo person is now a cow lover since obi cabana unveiled 46 cows yet they were initially forming fulani should go with their cows
Listen up u emotional peeps,fulani isn't going away from the south since u all keep buying and idolising their cows
VTJN: just listen to yourself, her children are not poor
You monetize everything
Burial is for nothing but sober and reflection
My friend some burials are celebration a farewell ceremony for your loved ones especially the ones that lived a fulfilled life mama lived a fulfilled life she enjoyed the fruits of her labor now she's gone to join her ancestors it's a thing to celebrate.
Asquare84: Sorry to say this the way some people behave make me to reason that they are not o.k, a burial that is supposed to be a period of surber reflection has become a carnival and the names of people that are donating posted on social media all in the name of show off. Ok ask very well during the life time of the deceased was she taking care off.
What sober reflection? Will sober reflection bring back the dead? They are celebrating the life that mama lived and now she's gone , it's a honor to see the great kids she raised. Yes she was taken care of, her children are not poor
