Igbos are not Hausa-fulanis or Yorubas. No one can use a billionaire to decieve Igbos. You can use Dangote & Otedola to decieve the north & Yorubas. But here in Igbo land everyone is a king in his house. Join Obi Cubana together with Arthur Eze, Igbos will still not send you. pic.twitter.com/61pETh6Iq8

Powerful people don’t practice tribalism — they practice interest.
You can’t sell Obi Cubana as “the East” in 2027 when his voice has been silent on Eastern injustice.

Dear @verydarkblackman
How do you claim to fight for the Nigerian people, and you are comfortable around or with the people that are the primary cause of our pain?
You claim to be apolitical, but you feel it is ok for Obi Cubana to enter the APC, the very party that has… pic.twitter.com/aIqBZU1fWh

Not long ago, Igbo people insulted Tunde Onakoya and the entire Yoruba race. He was trending for days.
His offence?
He visited President Tinubu.
Now their beloved billionaire, Obi Cubana, is working for the APC and Tinubu, but everywhere is quiet.

A Brother’s Counsel to Obi Cubana
1. As I reflect on the Obi Cubana situation tonight, I hear my father’s voice clearly:

Let Me Tell You What I Know About The City Boy Movement…
Obi Cubana is one of the smallest names in the movement. Yes, say that I said it.
Young Fintech CEOs are members of the movement.
These are Nigeria’s tech billionaires – they don’t show off and you probably don’t even… pic.twitter.com/SUFJ2ug4uR

Instead of criticizing Obi Cubana, a businessman who saw a chance to make money, we should learn from this occurrence. This shows we should see people as humans first, not by tribe like Igbo, Hausa, or Yoruba. Only poor people hold onto those divisions; rich people care only…

There is something about the Obi Cubana’s new APC recruited contract that people are not getting clear. Obi Cubana to my own analysis, might have accepted the contract out of duress. His business is at stake in all of this and he can’t help it
