THE IGBO ENTREPRENEURSHIP SYSTEM - The Strategy That Built Obi Cubana Have you ever wondered … How did the Igbo people rise from losing everything after the war, to becoming one of the most entrepreneurial tribes in Africa? Let me tell you a story. So After the Nigerian civil war, the Igbos were left with nothing. According to history, people who had thousands in their accounts were only given £20. Businesses destroyed. Hope shattered. That’s how the new system treated them; broke, broken, and abandoned. They didn’t sit down and complain. They started again. From scratch. From the ground up. That's the spirit of the Igbo Chi. But they didn’t do it alone. They used a system, one powerful principle: “Never Leave Your Brother.” If you’re selling biscuits and need to buy Lipton, you go to your brother’s shop. Even if his price is a bit higher ; you still buy from him. That’s how Igbos built their own economy from inside. They called it “Onye Aghala Nwanne Ya ” - "Don’t leave your brother behind." This was more than business. It was survival. It was loyalty. It was strategy. They built communities. They trained one another through apprenticeship (Igba Boi). They lifted each other from trenches to triumph. They created chains of value - and chains of trust. And no one represents this model today better than Obi Cubana He started small - one nightclub in Abuja. But he didn’t rise alone. He surrounded himself with people he empowered , and they, in turn, empowered him. Today, many of his “boys” are millionaires, and they’re all still connected. That’s what made his mum’s burial a historic moment it wasn’t about showing off, it was about community wealth. Now His 50th birthday was a blast. From Business Men to superstars to sports players they all gathered to pay homage . You might wondering what a popular pastor was doing at the event ? He is Igbo right ? He came to pay homage to his brother who built from scratch. That’s the Igbo system. Build. Empower. Don’t leave your brother. That's why Anywhere you see an Igbo person there must be a community. That's how the Igbos grow ❤️ That's how they were able to bounce back and become the most proporous ethnic group in Africa As Obi Cubana celebrates his 50th birthday, I see more than a successful man. I see a case study of Igbo resilience, strategy, and communal growth. If you're building something today, I want you to ask yourself: Are you lifting others as you rise? Are you creating value or just chasing money? Are you building a system, or are you walking alone? Because wealth built alone is fragile. But wealth built in brotherhood is eternal. Obi Cubana didn’t just make money. He made men. He made systems. He made history. And that, my friend, is the secret of Igbo entrepreneurship. Start now to build men. #Utom58 #De_NextVerYou

I can vividly remember the first time i walked in for an interview in Jos. Before then i had prepared for every question except salary requirements. When i was asked, i panicked and said "pay me anything" but then they insisted i give a figure.. i was going to say 100,000 naira but i couldnt, it seemed like a huge money.. i ended up asking for 30,000 naira because of fear of loosing the opportunity. I worked as hard as everyone else having the same Bsc just to realise later on that i was the lowest paid. But during that period i gained experience, i added value to myself and confidence boosted. This time around when i walked in for the position of a sales manager in a bubbling city like Abuja, i knew better than to let history repeat itself. I researched their pay range and negotiated higher, when the interview was over, i walked out confidently like a boss and guess what i got the job!. Kill fear with value and experience. If you loose self esteem is cause you havent gained value. Believe in yourself that you can do it and then work on yourself. Do you think negotiation skill is important in every organisation? Have you had such experience? Please share in the comment section FOLLOW FOR MORE! #nakupenda #team 2 #Mindpower #imagination

In a world overwhelmed by instant reactions, impulsive replies, and emotionally charged exchanges, the true mark of strength and emotional intelligence is not in how quickly we speak—but in our ability to pause. That brief, intentional moment of silence between stimulus and response is not emptiness; it is power. It creates space for clarity, for calm, for wisdom to surface over impulse. Whether you’re navigating a tough conversation, leading a team, or simply dealing with personal conflict, the pause allows you to respond—not react—with intention and grace. It helps you listen beyond words, consider deeper perspectives, and communicate with empathy and strength. In that silence, you regain control, disarm tension, and turn potential conflict into meaningful connection. It’s not weakness—it’s mastery. The power is in the pause. Will you use it? #Happiness #AWESOMEGOD

Zech.4.6 - Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Zech.4.7 - Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. Zech.4.9 - The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. #olufaderomi #grace

"For there is hope for a tree: if it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its shoots will not cease. Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stump die in the soil, yet at the scent of water it will bud…" – Job 14:7-9 This image is a simple but profound illustration. A mango tree, cut down—whether by nature or human hands—still bears fruit. Why? Because its roots are still in the ground. In the same way, as long as you are breathing, there is hope. You can rise again. You can start over. You can still produce fruit. Life may cut you down. Circumstances may try to silence your growth. But don’t forget this truth: You are not done yet. Stay rooted. Stay hopeful. You will outgrow your situation. Happy Palm Sunday. A day that reminds us of humble beginnings and triumphant endings. #attendace #Ngo_123 #grace

Spent 2 hours studying a particular concept today and after studying it, I felt happy about the knowledge I've acquired and it's part of me forever. What I want you to understand is, material things, property, money etc can be taken from you but you see knowledge no one can take it from you it's yours forever. Pls ensure you learn something new everyday. #grace #wealthyuqoutes #ilovenakupenda. 💝💕☺️

If it looks good but doesn’t work, it’s not good design. #aduloju70 #passion

Encouragement Note: Hey, I know things feel heavy right now, like the world is asking too much of you. But please remember this: the fact that you’re still here, still breathing, still fighting — that’s strength. You don’t have to have it all figured out today. You just need to take one more step. Even if it's small. Even if it’s just getting out of bed. You matter. Your story isn’t over. Pain passes, storms quiet, and new light always finds a way in. The world needs you — just as you are. Please stay. You’re not alone, and better days are coming. With hope, Someone who believes in you. #waskydone
