“What Have You Built In Your Own City?” — Cubana Chief Priest Brags About Imo State, Takes Swipe At Anambra
Celebrity businessman Cubana Chief Priest has continued his apparent rivalry with other Igbo states, particularly Anambra State, as he boasted about the economic strength and development of Imo State.
Speaking during a live video, the Owerri-based businessman challenged people from other states to show what they had built in their own cities.
He said:
“Anything that wants to happen, let it happen. I have reached the stage where I can say what I want and no one can do anything about it.
I tell you this: as someone who has built a hospitality empire in my city, Owerri, what have you built in your own city? What is your staking power?
Lands in Imo State are more expensive than in Anambra State and other parts of Igbo land.
The land opposite my hotel is sold for ₦3 billion per 1,000 square metres. Where in Igbo land will you see that?
We have power plants in Imo State to generate our energy. Do you have that in your own state? That’s why if you make money in Anambra State, finish, you will come to Imo State to spend that money because you don’t have the places to enjoy your money in your state.
I will continue to pressure you people. We Imo people are doing so well for ourselves, and what we’re doing, you guys cannot do.”
