Nigerian socialite and businessman Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has continued his online feud with billionaire businessman Cosmos Maduka over comments made about his popular slogan.
During a recent speaking engagement, Maduka reportedly stated that no truly wealthy person would use the phrase “money na water.”
Reacting to the remark, Cubana Chief Priest shared a post criticizing the billionaire and advised him to exclude himself from the ranks of prominent figures like Femi Otedola and Aliko Dangote, suggesting he belonged to a different class.
The nightlife mogul went on to defend his slogan, explaining that “money na water” symbolizes an abundant mindset and reflects the fluid, ever-flowing nature of wealth.
In CP’s words:
“With all due respect to the motivational speaking older generation who built wealth quietly, the world you thrived in is not the one we live in today. In your time, capital was factories, fleets, and real estate. In our time, attention is the main capital. These capitals listed cannot sell in today’s market without the major capital. Attention (visibility).”
“Visibility has become the new currency. In a digital economy, obscurity is bankruptcy. What you don’t show doesn’t sell. What you don’t amplify dissolves into silence. We are the noise that’s why you know us to the extent you had to use us to make references in your dry speech because you want to use us to trend without paying us, na why you dey run when you see us, you no wan show us real love. Tell me, Why must a billionaire pretend to use the toilet just to run away from an event, that’s a lot of stress for a real billionaire.”
