Imagine you lost everything and needed a fresh start. What would be your fall back?
Would you sell your ₦200 million village mansion to get back on your feet, or retire to the village as an old-timer?
This mindset has pushed so many people into poverty (yes I know many) by encouraging them to invest their very first money in expensive village mansions instead of building sustainable wealth and income-generating assets.
We need to rethink this mentality.

Thank you so much, I said so below and many times
I spent over $150,000 equivalent in a village mason that I barely stay 1 week per year!
This is rubbish!!!!
The real estates wasting in SE villages is enormous, imagine if those funds were channeled to equity in a big company like META or used to strictly fund industries and government providing 2/47 cheap electricity
SE would be the richest in Africa
We need a revolution to stop that madness
Nope, it’s not an Igbo experience but the Igbo experience is the best pro-female in this country
We sent our kids incl females to the best schools, Igbo females are the most educated in Nigeria
Just seeing about ancestry land brouhaha online,
Even me as a man, if I have the power I will abolish those village mansions as it’s a waste of resources and agricultural lands, building uneconomical real estates in the villages. A house you barely stay
The other day a lady that comes from place where they do rape festivals was talking down on Igbo culture, this is what some useless feminists have expose the great Igbo culture to.
As a woman who wants children, if you are approaching 35 and are still unmarried, seriously consider your options. You can find a willing partner to have a child with or explore sperm donation and assisted reproduction abroad.
Don’t let the absence of marriage stop you from pursuing motherhood if having children is important to you. Fertility is time-sensitive, so plan ahead.

“Ikwerre, Ekpeye and Ogba share an ancestry linked to the Great Benin Empire.”
I do see people making this statement as having low IQ.
You can argue against Igbo identity using other unverifiable fact even though there is linguistic and cultural evidence, but inventing migration narratives looks stupid .
In 2026, Nigeria, despite its oil wealth and modern engineering capabilities, cant build road through swamp and mangrove rainforest of Bayelsa .
Yet in 1500 Ikwerre ancestors migrated from Benin 🤣🤣
Late Oba of Benin reportedly denied ikwerre in his own book.
Yaribas ancestors so dumb the couldn’t even invent food for their useless descendants
yariba people with zero culture
Ododowa fell down from sky in Mecca bla bla bla
Facts are stubborn
There is NO historical book written in early 18th century that mentioned yariba (later before colonialist corrupted it to yoruba)
recently their is a ghost dna 🧬 in yariba (oyo and parts of osun genetic makeup)
Yariba as an identity started for ekiti, ogun start in 1905 via British indirect rule

I love your tweets
Africans needs to dedicate 1 week every month to be praising the white people
Was in Australia last year, I told my siblings that if not for white people this country will be fucked and I was accused of asslicking the whites
These are people whose civilisation has given you access to technology, institutions, and opportunities, including citizenship.
We black couldn’t point one thing we invented
Take palm oil, for example. The oil palm is native to West Africa, yet Malaysia has developed its palm oil industry through decades of research, improved planting materials, mechanisation, and industrial processing.
Today we are planting Malaysia Palm breed
We blacks are coursed
Africans should dedicate a week to appreciating the contributions of Europeans to modern technology and infrastructure.
From electricity and telecommunications to modern medicine, automobiles, aviation, industrial machinery, and many technologies we use today in Africa, much of the modern systems we rely on were developed through centuries of scientific and industrial advancement outside Africa.
Thank you Caucasians 🙏
Johannesburg has achieved total urban decay.
The operating system forced on the great city isn't working, and the decay is getting out of hand.
The politics changed from meritocratic leadership and municipal power to party loyalty and ideological obsession.
Service delivery died in the process, and society lowered civic responsibility, the standards bar, and its demands from authorities.
This disorder is a consistent pattern across post-independence Africa, infrastructure breakdown and poor service delivery are rampant.
Everything else is blamed except the people in power and the people living in such dirty conditions, without any accountability or ownership of responsibility.
Let’s stop building mansions and start building industries.
Can South-East leaders begin developing modern industrial estates with dedicated power plants, instead of allowing our capital to continue going into individual village mansions, land banking, nonprofitable hotels etc

Let’s create an Impact Investment Fund or IGWEBUIKE Investment Account and deliberately mobilise capital for industrial development.
If one Igbo man cannot become Dangote, 30, 50, 100 or even 300 Igbo people can come together, contribute capital and build industries together.
We already know how to mobilise money.
We contribute through WhatsApp groups for burials. We mobilised resources for Imo Airport. We come together whenever there is a collective need.
Now, let’s reciprocate that spirit in industrial development.
Imagine thousands of Igbo investors contributing into a professionally managed investment fund that finances:
Manufacturing factories
Food-processing plants
Pharmaceutical industries
Building-material factories
Palm-oil processing and refineries
Industrial parks
Power plants
Technology and export-oriented businesses
The goal should be simple:
From consumption to production.
From individual wealth to collective capital.
From mansions to factories.
From traders to industrialists.
Igwebuike — strength in unity.
Let’s build industries that will employ our people, produce for Nigeria and the world, and create wealth that can outlive us.

Before you criticize Peter Obi and his recent speech, make sure your own immediate past Governor left ₦75 Billion in savings did not borrow!
Yariba history started around 1866
There is no document written pre 1866 that mentioned yariba
Yariba was corrupted to yoruba by the British before colonization and they unified different tribe to one yoruba identity for easy colonization
Lagos awori and Eguns, ijebu, modakeke, ijesha, osun, ilaje was merged though they speak different languages

So much time to Evolve but still doing same thing all over again
I have been saying this
We are doing same thing all over over again
Merge together invest in manufacturing
IGWEBUIKE economy, 100 Igbos merge together, build factory
If Igboman cannot be Dangote, 30,50,100 Igbo trader can merge and become Dangote and invest in manufacturing!
Everything is not building “mansions” in the village
Example in Ogbo Ogwu (drug market) Onitsha since 1970’s they are trading and the market made a whole lot of billionaires but no single person invest in manufacturing, only building mansion in the village, doing land banking
Till today they are still importing while Indians are now building drug factories in Nigeria, tomorrow they will cry again
EVOLVE or PERISH 🤦🤦
The Niger Bridge was closed for repairs, but the alternative roads connecting the Second Niger Bridge to Onitsha through the industrial estate were not repaired to help relieve the traffic that the closure of the First Niger Bridge would cause.
Why does our government intentionally make life difficult for citizens? Why can’t they repair the alternative road around the Second Niger Bridge, which is reportedly not more than 1 km long, to ease the suffering that the closure of the First Niger Bridge will cause?
The government knew the bridge would be closed and should have prepared the alternative routes before the closure. This is basic infrastructure planning.
A government with critical thinkers will know gridlock will occur
Today is day 1 of the closure, we will expect to see the sufferings of the masses since the ring roads weren’t rebuilt before the bridge closure
Every day, we argue about Bonny, Opobo, ikwerre, Ekpeye but we can actually do something more constructive.
We could produce a documentary based strictly on historical books and records written in the 17th and 18th centuries before Nigeria was created
Also invite @AncestryDNA @FamilyTreeDNA to conduct genealogical and population-genetics research.
DNA analysis will help address some of the identity questions that continue to divide us.
Instead of arguing endlessly, why don’t we invest in historical research, archaeology, genealogy, and DNA science to establish the facts?
Let the evidence speak for itself.

Tinubu recently borrowed $1 billion from UK for port upgrades ONLY for Lagos ports
While SS coasts are the closest to China, Japan, Dubai, Asia routes our largest trading route
1billion in US$ ONLY for Lagos ports
$150m can build a world class port in state
He could have used $500m for ports in SS and $500m for his Lagos but greedy yaribas want all economic activities in their regions only
I don’t even understand how some SS people reason
Port harcourt has all to be world class
Oil city, surrounded within a 150 km radius by oil wells and offshore rigs producing more than $100million of crude oil and gas every day! Yes every 24hours
@BEbikiye
THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PORT HARCOURT
Remember the Yorubas used your oil money to build this in their land, but they keep telling you to weaken your regional political negotiation power by not having unity in your region. 59 years from now, oil dries up and the Eastern Region becomes the biggest losers of the Nigeria Project.
