An Igbo man, Mark Osuchukwu, recently expressed his disappointment in billionaire businessman, Obi Cubana, on Twitter. It all started after Cubana signed a N50 million deal with controversial singer, Portable, using him as the face of his new product.
Taking to social media, Mark accused Cubana of skipping his Igbo brothers to give a Yoruba man the deal.
According to him, Cubana ignored another Igbo singer, Speed Darlington, and rushed to ‘dash’ Portable the deal.
Not stopping there, Mark explained that the word ‘Odogwu’ means a man of great esteem and a distinguished man but Portable doesn’t fit the criteria. The Twitter user added that Portable who needs therapy to tame his hallucinations was made the face of an Igbo brand. According to him, Igbo people need to make sure their decisions are bereft of sentiments. Mark also noted that a Yoruba man will not ‘jump his brothers’ to give an Igbo man ambassadorship. He added an Igbo adage about how people should nurture where they reside.

Igbo people and their reasoning sometimes.
"Odogwu" is an Igbo expression that means "A man of great esteem. A distinguished man. A valorous man..."
Tell me how portable fits this. A drug addict who has been caught by security agents stealing has all of a sudden become an ambassador. Someone who needs therapy to tame his hallucinations is the face of an Igbo brand.

We as Igbo people should ensure that our decisions
illustrates the nursery attitude of care and consciousness of whichever environment an Igbo person finds himself.

Let us continue living without consciousness. Let us keep sacrificing our "Essence" on the altar of capitalism.
This thing has been boiling in my mind and this
