Omoni Oboli’s “Love In Every Word”: A Misrepresentation of Igbo Men and Their Culture

Omoni Oboli’s “Love In Every Word”: A Misrepresentation of Igbo Men and Their Culture

Opinion Post by Chukwuma Ndioguluo:

Omoni Oboli, a talented movie producer from Edo State, recently released a film titled “Love In Every Word, which attempts to portray the romantic dynamics of an Igbo man. However, the movie falls short of accurately representing Igbo culture and the traditional values of an Igbo man, particularly the concept of an *Odogwu* (a respected, wealthy, and influential man in Igbo society).

In the movie, the Igbo male lead, played by Uzor Arukwe, closes his bank account to win the heart of a woman he loves. This portrayal is not only inaccurate but also a misrepresentation of how an *Odogwu* from Igboland approaches love and relationships. In Igbo culture, an *Odogwu* is a man of substance, wisdom, and pride. He does not diminish himself or his wealth to win a woman’s affection. Instead, he often disguises his true status, presenting himself as a modest individual—perhaps a single shop owner in Onitsha Main Market—while secretly owning multiple businesses.

The intention behind this approach is to test the woman’s character and ensure she is not motivated by his wealth. An *Odogwu* seeks an *Odozi Aku*—a woman who is wise, resourceful, and capable of managing his wealth and household. Only when she proves her genuine love and loyalty does he reveal his true status and introduce her to his family as the woman he intends to marry. This is the Igbo way, and it reflects the depth of cultural values that prioritize character over materialism.

It is disappointing to see how Omoni Oboli imported a Benin man’s lifestyle into a movie that was supposed to showcase Igbo culture. The portrayal of the Igbo man in *Love In Every Word* is far from the reality of how an *Odogwu* loves and respects his woman. The only plausible explanation for this misrepresentation is that the character is an Igbo man who has lived outside Igboland for too long and has been influenced by the cultures of his host community.

Another glaring inaccuracy in the movie is the use of the term *“Onye Nwem”* (meaning “the one who owns me”) by the male lead to address his love interest. This is a complete distortion of Igbo cultural norms. In Igbo tradition, *“Onye Nwem”* is a term of endearment used by a wife to address her husband, not the other way around. It signifies the man’s role as the head of the household and the woman’s respect and submission to him. When a wife calls her husband *“Onye Nwem”* and shows him respect, he is compelled to love her genuinely and entrust her with the management of his wealth, earning her the title *“Ori Aku”* (the one who enjoys his wealth).

The fact that Uzor Arukwe, an Igbo actor, addressed Bambam, a Yoruba actress, as *“Onye Nwem”* in the movie is a clear indication that Omoni Oboli knew exactly what she was doing. If Bambam were an Igbo actress, I believe she would have rejected such a term, no matter how sweet it sounded, because it goes against the cultural norms passed down by our foremothers.

Omoni Oboli may have had good intentions with *Love In Every Word*, but the execution missed the mark. The movie fails to tell the true story of how Igbo men love their women and instead presents a distorted version of Igbo culture. I hope that an Igbo movie producer will one day rewrite and reproduce this story, showcasing the authentic and dignified way an *Odogwu* from Igboland loves and respects his woman.

Igbo culture is rich, profound, and deeply rooted in values that deserve accurate representation in Nollywood. Let us tell our stories the right way, preserving the integrity of our traditions for future generations.

Stewart Bond, Research VP for Data Integration and Intelligence at IDC, emphasised:
“Generative AI has sparked widespread excitement, but our findings reveal a significant readiness gap. Businesses must address core challenges like data accuracy and governance to ensure AI workflows deliver sustainable, scalable value.”

Without addressing these foundational issues, businesses risk falling into an “AI scramble,” where ambition outpaces the ability to execute effectively, leaving potential value unrealised.

“AI’s potential hinges on how effectively organisations manage and integrate their AI value chain,” said James Fisher, Chief Strategy Officer at Qlik. “This research highlights a sharp divide between ambition and execution. Businesses that fail to build systems for delivering trusted, actionable insights will quickly fall behind competitors moving to scalable AI-driven innovation.”

The IDC survey uncovered several critical statistics illustrating the promise and challenges of AI adoption:

  • Agentic AI Adoption vs. Readiness: 80% of organisations are investing in Agentic AI workflows, yet only 12% feel confident their infrastructure can support autonomous decision-making.
  • “Data as a Product” Momentum: Organisations proficient in treating data as a product are 7x more likely to deploy Generative AI solutions at scale, emphasising the transformative potential of curated and accountable data ecosystems.
  • Embedded Analytics on the Rise: 94% of organisations are embedding or planning to embed analytics into enterprise applications, yet only 23% have achieved integration into most of their enterprise applications.
  • Generative AI’s Strategic Influence: 89% of organisations have revamped their data strategies in response to Generative AI, demonstrating its transformative impact.
  • AI Readiness Bottleneck: Despite 73% of organisations integrating Generative AI into analytics solutions, only 29% have fully deployed these capabilities.

These findings stress the urgency for companies to bridge the gap between ambition and execution, with a clear focus on governance, infrastructure, and leveraging data as a strategic asset.

The IDC survey findings highlight an urgent need for businesses to move beyond experimentation and address the foundational gaps in AI readiness. By focusing on governance, infrastructure, and data integration, organisations can realise the full potential of AI technologies and drive long-term success.

The Strength of a Mother & The Fallacy of Deadbeat Fathers “Cultural” Claiming Rights

The Strength of a Mother & The Fallacy of Deadbeat Fathers “Cultural” Claiming Rights

 

Yesterday, I had an interesting yet baffling conversation with an Igbo man from Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria. He confidently declared that women who work tirelessly to raise their children without the support of their deadbeat partners are simply wasting their time and resources. According to him, Igbo culture supports men in such a way that, eventually, the father and his family will claim the children, regardless of their absence in the children’s upbringing. That’s why, he said, most Igbo men don’t bother taking responsibility.

Honestly, that was one of the dumbest things I have ever heard from a supposedly learned man! Culture or no culture, no reasonable man abandons his (child)ren and responsibilities. Fatherhood is not a title you wear when it’s convenient; it’s a responsibility you uphold through action, love, and sacrifice.

Fatherhood is not SEASONAL!!!

And let’s be clear, no intelligent, brave, and strong woman who single-handedly raised her precious children in this world will ever allow a deadbeat or a ‘deliberate-absent’ father or his entitled family members to suddenly show up and “claim” them. On what moral, ethical, spiritual, or legal grounds do they think they have that right? What exactly is going to give them that power or authority over the woman andcher grown children? Because of culture? Nonsense! Try that nonsense with an animal first before you think of trying it with a woman, let alone a strong one. Lol! That man and his entire delusional generation may not live to tell the story!

The truth is simple: successful children do not chase after the families that abandoned them and their mother. It’s the forgotten, wicked, deceitful, irresponsible, and forsaken families that come crawling back when they see success. The world has evolved beyond outdated, corrupt, senseless, misleading, manipulative cultural excuses used to justify irresponsibility. Make your money, build your legacy, and choose where and how to enjoy it. The moment you succeed, those who abandoned you will look for you—but the choice of who remains in your life will always be yours!

“But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” — 1 Timothy 5:8

“A woman who single-handedly builds an empire for her lovely children is a force that no deadbeat can ever claim rights over. Legacy is built by presence, not excuses.” – Dr. Sandra C Duru

Federal Government Establishes Joint Committee to Address Fiber Optic Cuts During Road Projects

Federal Government Establishes Joint Committee to Address Fiber Optic Cuts During Road Projects

 

In a bid to curb the persistent damage to fiber optic cables during road construction and rehabilitation projects, the Federal Ministry of Works (FMoW) and the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy (FMoCIDE) have inaugurated a Joint Standing Committee on the Protection of Fiber Optic Cables.

The initiative, launched on Tuesday, February 18, at the FMoW headquarters, aims to mitigate the disruptions to telecommunications services caused by fiber cuts. The inauguration ceremony was presided over by Engr. Olufunso Adebiyi, Permanent Secretary of FMoW, and Engr. Farouk Yusuf, his counterpart at FMoCIDE, in the presence of Dr. Aminu Maida, Executive Vice Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC). The committee comprises key representatives from both ministries and the NCC.

Mandate of the Joint Standing Committee

The committee’s primary responsibility is to establish coordination channels between the ministries and the NCC to prevent damages to fiber optic infrastructure. Engr. Adebiyi emphasized that its role would include:

  • Creating clear communication frameworks between road construction firms and telecommunications operators.
  • Developing preventive measures to safeguard fiber optic cables from damage due to construction and vandalism.
  • Ensuring fiber cable protection is integrated into road network planning and design.
  • Collaborating with Federal Controllers of Works (FCWs) to safeguard fiber infrastructure in ongoing and future projects.

“The committee will serve as a coordinating body for all matters related to fiber optic cable protection, before, during, and after road construction projects. It will also meet regularly to address challenges, establish industry-wide solutions, and set engagement procedures,” Adebiyi stated.

He further assured that moving forward, fiber optic placement would be a priority in road infrastructure planning, with provisions made for cable ducts during construction.

Protecting the Backbone of Nigeria’s Digital Economy

Speaking at the event, Engr. Farouk Yusuf highlighted the critical role fiber optic cables play in Nigeria’s digital economy, stressing that they are the backbone of broadband infrastructure that supports economic growth and technological innovation.

“The committee’s work is vital to ensuring seamless telecommunication services, as frequent fiber cuts disrupt connectivity and impact businesses and consumers alike,” Yusuf said.

Addressing the Impact of Fiber Cuts on Telecom Services

The NCC’s Dr. Aminu Maida underscored the urgency of the initiative, revealing that Nigeria recorded over 50,000 fiber cut incidents in the past year, with around 30,000 cases linked to federal and state road construction activities. He cited the February 2024 nationwide MTN network outage as a direct consequence of these disruptions.

“A major challenge has been the lack of coordination between road construction companies and telecom operators. This committee has the potential to drastically reduce service disruptions by ensuring proper communication and preventive measures are in place,” Maida stated.

He noted that reducing fiber cuts would not only minimize network outages but also prevent excessive repair costs and unnecessary infrastructure redundancies.

“This initiative is not just for the telecommunications industry—it benefits all Nigerians. When fiber cuts occur, consumers face service disruptions, and operators incur additional costs. Preventing these incidents allows telecom providers to focus on network expansion and quality improvement,” Maida added.

The committee is expected to develop instant communication mechanisms for real-time information sharing between stakeholders, ensuring quick responses to any issues that may arise.

With this initiative, the Federal Government aims to enhance the resilience of Nigeria’s telecommunications infrastructure, reinforcing its commitment to a digitally connected and economically vibrant nation.

Men: Women Are Indispensable

Men: Women Are Indispensable

.

©️ Examined by Ugo Ubili

The role of women in shaping human evolution and society can not be overstated.

Women hold a significant and indispensable role in every aspect of society. From the home to the workplace, from human evolution to the future generations, and from the sciences, law, fashion, business, technology, or entertainment world to everyday life, women have made invaluable contributions that have shaped our world today.

A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture, and transform. Without women, without our mothers, we would not be here. They are not just part of the story – they are the story.

A virtuous woman’s price is far above ANY CURRENCY. That’s why men who find it difficult to manage a woman hardly make it in good health and otherwise. Women were created to create, support,and mitigate. Men who don’t utilize these natural gifts in women are bound to fail.

If you want something said, ask a man, but if you want something done, ask a woman. That’s why men who aligned with their partners are more meticulous and achieve their goals faster with minimal mistakes and failures. Because a woman who understand the problems of running a home can engage in any problem-solving conversation.

In the family unit, women have been the unsung heroes. They play a vital role as caregivers, nurturers, and role models. They are often the glue that holds the family together, providing love, support, and guidance to their children and partners.

Women are not only responsible for the physical well-being of their families but also for their emotional progress, guidance, and mental health in the home. They are the ones who instill values, teach morals, and shape the character of the next generation. Because they’re naturally close to the kids and stay more with them.

The best protection any woman can have… is courage. That’s why when you lift up women, you lift up families and communities along. Injustice against women is crime against families and entire humanity.

ThinkCyber Introduces Specto+ to Strengthen Cybersecurity in Nigeria

ThinkCyber Introduces Specto+ to Strengthen Cybersecurity in Nigeria

By Anthony Emeka Nwosu

As cyber threats become more sophisticated, organizations in Nigeria are facing an urgent need to strengthen their defenses. Recognizing this challenge, ThinkCyber, a leading IT capacity-building firm specializing in cybersecurity, has introduced Specto+, a powerful new security solution designed to help businesses protect their networks and stay ahead of cybercriminals.

Speaking about the new product, Mr. Uche, Country Manager of ThinkCyber, explained that Specto+ is not just another cybersecurity tool—it’s a game-changer for organizations looking to build stronger, smarter defenses against digital threats.

“Specto+ is a physical security appliance that blends seamlessly into an organization’s existing infrastructure. It’s designed to provide advanced network protection, helping IT teams detect and respond to cyber threats faster and more effectively,” Uche said.

One of the biggest challenges security teams face today is staying prepared for real-world cyberattacks. That’s why Specto+ includes powerful simulation capabilities, allowing organizations to test how well they can defend against threats like phishing attacks. By exposing weaknesses before hackers can exploit them, companies can train their teams to respond more effectively.

Beyond simulations, Specto+ also helps businesses identify vulnerabilities in their networks. Many organizations don’t realize how exposed they are until an attack happens. With Specto+, IT teams can proactively scan their systems for weak points, getting ahead of potential breaches rather than reacting when it’s too late.

Another standout feature is its anomaly detection system, which acts like a security guard constantly watching over the network. It can spot unusual activities, such as unknown devices connecting, sudden spikes in data traffic, or suspicious network scans. If anything looks out of the ordinary, Specto+ immediately alerts the security team and can even block potential threats before they cause harm.

A particularly fascinating aspect of Specto+ is its Cyber-Bait technology—ThinkCyber’s version of a next-generation honeypot. This feature tricks hackers into revealing their tactics by mimicking real services like email servers and databases. When cybercriminals attempt to break in, Specto+ collects valuable insights on their methods, helping IT teams understand their enemy and refine their defense strategies.

But cybersecurity isn’t just about technology—it’s also about the people behind the screens. Specto+ goes beyond threat detection by helping companies train their employees. It connects with ThinkCyber’s Cyberium Arena simulator, creating real-world training scenarios based on actual threats found within an organization’s network. Instead of generic cybersecurity training, employees get hands-on experience with challenges that are specific to their workplace, making them better prepared to respond when an attack occurs.

Managing cybersecurity can be overwhelming, especially for companies with limited IT resources. To make things easier, Specto+ comes with a centralized dashboard, allowing security teams to monitor all network activity in one place, configure security policies, and ensure that the system is running smoothly.

For businesses in Nigeria, where cyberattacks are becoming more frequent and damaging, Specto+ offers a timely and effective solution. It’s not just about blocking threats—it’s about building a smarter, more resilient cybersecurity culture within organizations.

Wrapping up, Mr. Uche reinforced ThinkCyber’s mission to empower Nigerian businesses with world-class cybersecurity solutions.

“The digital landscape is evolving, and so are cyber threats. Organizations need to be proactive, not reactive. With Specto+, we are providing a comprehensive security tool that not only protects networks but also prepares teams to handle the challenges of tomorrow.”

With Specto+ now available in Nigeria, ThinkCyber continues to lead the charge in helping businesses navigate the ever-changing world of cybersecurity—one secure network at a time.
