You're talking ignorant trash.

If I tell you how many Igbo millionaires and billionaires have died with their money in foreign banks, with no way to retrieve them, because no one in their family knew anything about it, it surpasses trillions of naira. I personally know many Igbos in that situation.

I'm really not here to convince anyone. I'm here to TELL you what goes on. Listen if you like.

Mr detective, tell us the igbo millionaires that died and left their money and foreign bank. Also, when has it become a crime to save your money in foreign bank?

rosinkkit:
Shut up and understand before typing. We are referring to transfer of wealth within very high net worth, elite families. That is the type of wealth that engenders political influence etc.

What about transfer of wealth within poor families and communities? Them no de una budget? This is why you have Forbes richest men but are still the country's poorest people. For you, transfer of wealth is that of rich families, dollars and pounds, leaving millions of northerners to die of poverty. You need to learn from the igbos.

To bring out people from poverty, you need to show them the way. You don't necessarily need to be a big billionaire to do that. You simply bring in someone inexperienced to learn how to survive. By so doing,a large amount of trained youths are brought into the labour market. That's how to help your brother. Not by giving him government appointment. Not by dashing him money. But by teaching him your business.
Let me use obi cubana for example. When he started his own business,he had boys like cubana cheif priest and many others watching him. He wasn't a millionaire then. But they grew. Now they are so wealthy together. They wouldn't have become what they are if obi cubana dashed them money or gives the a government job. Do you understand now?

rosinkkit:
A typical northern millionaire believes his brothers should ALSO be millionaires.

A typical Igbo millionaire believes his brothers should NOT be millionaires because that challenges his status as ''onye isi'' (the top dog) whom everyone has to approach for help.

So when he ''helps'' his brothers, he basically gives them just enough to make a decent living, but definitely not enough to place them on HIS level of wealth.

There is always a clear boundary and ceiling, as to how rich he can help you get. It must never be anywhere close to his level.

That is the typical Igbo millionaire's mentality, and it's pretty sad.

You guys wake up and start yarning dust. If the north help their people,the north would not be suffering the illiteracy and poverty they are suffering right now.

This cubana mom's burial really pained some people

slimghost:
Please what did Daddy GO write?. Help explain it to us please.

I've spent many of my years in pentecostal churches and I know some of their church protocol.
For him to write that letter means that the church is not growing. Most of you misunderstood it. If a church remains 20 members for 2 years,then what is the pastor doing? What are the evangelism department doing? The growth that they see is the number of people and not the offering. Thats how it is over there. If the church is increasing in numbers,then it is growing. If it's not,then something is wrong with it. Most of you just jump into conclusions.

Many of you guys do not understand what oyedepo wrote in the letter

Educationalserv:
am looking at the biography he open first club in Abuja from which capital ? Bank loan ? Uncle loan (like dangote) wealth family like otedola, pay off from master like innocent motors? Or other Nigeria way. Opening club in Abuja no be beans .this will help his fellow igbo youths know they don't have to take cocaine to Asia and risk death to get seed capital .

I gave him loan to start. I even feed his family before his business started. Idiot!
Must every man post his life story on the net for you? Obi cubana does not owe you any explanation. He has made his money and he's happy. Go and hug transformer if you want. He will always and forever be wealthier than you. Jealous thing.

TimeTraveller:
Spraying money on potopoto. >:
Bury mummy in a N30 million casket in poto poto.
Called Fulani slaves, yet bought and ate their cows.

Igbos are hilarious people, honestly.

It's good that you said we bought the cows. We did not kill people or chase them out of their fathers land because of cows. We bought them with our own money. That's dignity.

blamingthedevil:
All these shakara on bad roads .Mumu people

It's their responsibility to build roads abi?

OwenJesse27:
If you can not tell us the source of income of this guy's please

The little data you used to type this rubbish would have been used to check is source of income on goggle. Let me save you the data.

Obi cubana is the founder of cubana group- a hotel and club business here in Nigeria. He's a big name in the hospitality industry. Not just that,he also owns estates in the country. Now you know what he does, can you please shut up whenever his name is mentioned. Thank you.

This is how I feel about the burial of obi cubana and some comments of jealous tribal bigots on Nairaland. There are two sets of people who are pained by this burial. First are the tribal bigots, secondly are the poor ( vanity Crew)

Let's start with tribal bigots here. I've been reading the comments here on Nairaland and I must say that they are really interesting. Especially those attacking the igbo race and accusing them of being frudstars, ritualists, and bla bla bla. Sometime ago,Arewa boys made a show on Twitter during their salah celebration. You guys kept mute. Nobody bothered to ask if they are ritualists or not. You just praised them all along. You bigots didn't ask them if they have fed the millions of poor and hungry northerners. They flaunted private jets and expensive cars for just a religious celebration. You didn't ask if those things would take them to heaven. So,why then are you pained for just a burial ceremony? Hypocrites. There is nothing wrong with showing off wealth. Igbos are not the first to do it and they won't be the last.

As for the second group, why shed tears for another man's money? I'm sure cubana once had your kind of mentality, but it changed. What you should be praying for is that God should bless you beyond measures. Then we would see how you feed the poor and how you bury your dead.

onuman:
But there is no good road in his hometown.

Have you been there before?

Have you been there before?

Getdabag:
my brother dnt be moved by the showoff..a house in ikoyi alone will gulp morethan half thier networth..its all hype!!

why do they deal with lowbrow areas like anambra and owerri let them move on up and compete with the likes of tinubu and otedola in spending and lifestyle..within a year theyll go broke..no cap

linda ikeji alone has more figures than them..they are just noise makers trying to impress average nigerians with exaggerated wealth

Hahahahahahahaha
They live in those big places too. They are in Anambra just for burial and nothing more. After that, they move to where they have always been making money.

I can't stop reading this your ignorant comment. Lol. You don't know any of those guys. If you knew them, you wouldn't have typed this rubbish. Comparing them to Linda ikeji is an insult. Try doing a research on them. Check out their instagram accounts as well. Then you can come here to talk.

Rossinkipp:
Why Are You On Nairaland if You Don't Believe in One Nigeria?

It makes no sense.

Nairaland is a pan-Nigerian forum.

A NAIJA forum through and through.

Hating Nigeria while religiously attending its biggest forum on a daily basis is like an Ashewo who claims to be a virgin, and walks around covered in bedsheets and scarf throughout the day, but at night, stands on the roadside half-naked looking for customers.

The anti-Nigerian, 'let's break up the country' crowd should have LONG AGO built their own tribal forums, and gone there to discuss the modus operandi for actualizing their new, small, tribal republics.

What they are still doing on Nairaland, I haven't the slightest clue.

It kinda reminds me of the Igbos who say they want to leave Nigeria, yet reside in Lagos, Kano, and Sokoto in their millions, refusing to depart for Umuahia and Awka.

Like the pathetic Lagos Igbo clown called Charlie Boy, who's lived his entire life in Lagos, but claims he doesn't believe in One Nigeria.

Pray, Charlie, what are you doing in Lagos then?

Why aren't you living in Aba or Onitsha? Or Nnewi?

Without One Nigeria, who would know you, outside Enugu and Owerri?

Without One Nigeria, your popularity and wealth would have been 1/10th of what it is today.

When will you separatists and secessionists actually act out your passions?

You're all words and no action.

Attention seekers who really couldn't do without the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Loud-mouthed narcissistic degenerates whose lives would literally fall to pieces without the existence of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Your refusal to put your money where your big mouths are, by voting with your feet and retreating into your little tribal holes, both online and offline, is the biggest testament to the INDIVISIBILITY of Nigeria, the Giant of Africa.

So spare us your loud noises based on hot air, and go out there and do something useful with your lives.

The last time I checked, Nairaland is not a government forum. It's someone's business and we are patronizing it the same way we patronize businesses of other nigerians in the south east here. Sometimes, you think before you post rubbish okay.

So? Should we fry beans?

Mtchew
Everybody wants to trend with Igbos.

Okay

udele1:
How many deadlines have your supreme leader given u?

What is your business?

udele1:
No matter what you do or how you agitate, the north will simply interpret it as a plan to remove Buhari.

They did the same to jonathan and he failed to crush them early enough.

As long as you did not agitate under jonathan, anything you do today will be interpreted as opposition.

They know that jonathan made a mistake not to crush them early enough, but they won't want to make jonathans mistake.

So if this agitation is true, wait till a southerner takes over.

While you might be seeking a country of your own, your leaders are working for politicians.

Do you think we care about how you interpret the Biafran agitation? We don't give a flying f*ck. We agitate when we won't to and not when you feel like. Nonsense

You are right op. As for those opposing your opinion, they are the same set of people who brag about how north will attack igbos in the south. Hypocrites.

I just can't believe my eyes this night.

They are just useless. They can't buy anything reasonable. Na the 5naira de pain me pass. Very useless note. Not even biscuits sef

Just like coins, they will soon go into extinction

Monogamy:
Weekend like this, we would have read about UGM attacking this, UGM killed this but such news have been disappearing since Kanu was arrested.

Anyone saying Ipobs are not UGM need to have his brain checked at standard psychiatrist hospital.. Since Kanu has been picked, the attack on security personells have reduced by whooping 95%.

Kanu's inaccessibility to his gadgets to spew venom on social media have saved so many lives, restored peace back into peaceful SE region.

If incarcerating Kanu is what is going to make peace reign in SE, so be it, FG can throw his cell key into lagoon..

Ipobs are the real saboteurs in SE as they are not happy about the peace returning back to the region.



Ask Ipob members which one of the 2 do they want and see them shifting from post to pillar.

You all are foolish and ignorant. The unknown gunmen saga stopped about a month or more before kanu's arrest. And if you think ipob are the unknown gunmen, don't you think that kanu's arrest will be a driving force to kill all security agents in the south east?

Why Do We Hate History And Tourism

Do you know that the decision and the plan for the Amalgamation of Northern and Southern States into one Country Named Nigeria was taken at the Brick House at Ikot Abasi by Sir Lord Lugard and other Colonial Leaders in the present of all regional Head then?

Do you know that she died in Use and her House and her grave Monument is still there till today?
Do you even know that the names of the Towns in Akwa Ibom that Mary Slassor affected are writen in the Scottish Currency?

Sadly: Calabar has taken that Glory, Her Monument built by Cross River State Government is a tourist Center where Calabar Canival trend stop and Dance.
Yet there is no major street in Akwa Ibom named after Mary Slassor.

Do You that the name Itu given the a Local Government Area in the then Cross River State and now Akwa Ibom State was dirived from a Portuguese/ English Trade Center called International Trade Union?

Sadly: it is only found in an old book in a dieing Library in Calabar and no one from here is bold enough to put in in the Internet so it could be goggled.

Do you know that the famous "Aba Women Riot" of 1929 actually originated from a Market called Ukam Market in Ikot Abasi and so many women lost their lives in the killing ordered by the Colonial Division Officer in Ikot Abasi,
do you know that it was an Ikot Abasi woman that led that riot?
do you know that no Woman actually died in the street of Aba and that female traders in Aba only did a sympathy walk?

Sadly; Aba ,is more popular in the glory of that History because we just don't care
Even the mock graves of the 500 dead women in Ikot Abasi is not worth a tourist site to be promoted.

Do you know that there is a Confluence in Akwa Ibom? Do you know that three rivers meet in ITU, the Eniong River,Qua Iboe River and Another River, Do you know that the beautiful site can be sighted from the hills of ITU?

Sadly, our children are thought is school that the only Confluence in Nigeria is in Lokoja, why? Because we ignore our own.

Do you know that Samuel Alexander Bill a contemporary of Mary Slassor left the Presbyterian Mission in Calabar in the 1890 and sailed through the Eniong River into a river called Akwa Inyang Ibom, the long River led him through Etinan to Eket and then to Akwa Obio in Ibeno where he started the Qua Iboe Mission?

Do you Know that he called the river "Qua Iboe River" because he could not pronounce the name Akwa Inyang Ibom or Akwa Ibom River?

Do you know that Akwa Inyang Ibom remains one of the longest Rivers in southern Atlantic?

Do you know that our State "Akwa Ibom State was named after the Long historical River Akwa Inyang Ibom?

Sadly, Our new generation of youths don't know this facts.

Do you know that The best Species of shrimps and Crayfish on Earth can be found in Oron, Ibeno and Uta Ewa in Akwa Ibom States?

Infact the biggest species of Crayfish is gotten from Utan Brama and Uta Ewa (fishing settlements in Akwa Ibom State)

Do you know that 70% of those fishing, cultivating and "owning" the shrimp business in these settlements not from Akwa Ibom States,

Do you know that these Aquatic produce are major tourists attraction in other Nations? Why do we ignore it?

Do you know that Akwa Ibom has the longest sand beach in West Africa?
Our sand beach on the coast of Atlantic pans from Ikot Abasi through Ibeno, through Itan Brama to Ibaka

Do you know that our sand beach is 10 times longer than the bar beach in Lagos?

Sadly, it is not important

BUT
do you know that tourism is a major Economic driver on Earth today?
Do you know that Akwa Ibom Citizens travel out on tour to so many lesser historical sites around the world?

Why? Why? Why?
Are we not proud of our history?
why can't we turn our Historical sites to tourist Sites?

Why? do we allow tribalism and Political Influence to rub us of our Heritage?

Think

This piece is not against Government past and present but I'm targeting us The Ibibios, Annang, Oro, and Obolo,
Only very few Akwa Ibom people love history and tourism, infact no political office aspirant from here has ever presented a Manifesto and Tourism is prominently mentioned.

Over the years we have ignore writing our history in the Internet and on books, the few that is written is not given prominent attention.
Why? Are we smaller than Benin? No! I say No!

Think

@ Lalasticlala FP

Can't you write your history without lies? What nonsense is this?

Very true. In fact, Nigeria should be like America in the next few weeks. Nnamdi kanu has been the stumbling block to our progress in life. Now that he's arrested,we are sure out of poverty.

When are you going to be tired of fake news?

IMO state governor was also absent in the meeting

So there are intelligent people like these in the north?

He's not the first. Haven't you heard of chigozirim Emeakayi? Check him out on facebook. That one is sold to the north.

This is funny. They are talking as if there is peace in the north.

Righteousness2:
Wisdom is Profitable to Direct.

The Church is not the place for " Buhari must go" Even though we understand that Pmb has caused a lot of pains in the land.

The Church is a place where people come to meet with GOD, Hear His Word and be filled with HIS Spirit and Knowledge.

Take your Protest to Aso rock and other Government parastatals not the Church..

Having Said that, I believe the Church would have just taken them out and not handing them to Dss and all that.

People like you are the problem of the country. Did they tell you they were protesting there? They only wore a t-shirt to church and there's no harm there. Stop being foolish.
