Minister of Works, David Umahi, has fired back at socialite Cubana Chief Priest weeks after the socialite described him as the second-worst minister the South-East has ever produced.
Umahi spoke during a recent engagement where he criticised what he called the growing culture of noise-making and public display of wealth.
He questioned the habit of constantly boasting about money, saying real wealth should show in what a person has achieved, not in what he says.
“We have become very noise-making. Every time, money na water. How much do you have? Have you ever seen water that have money? Have you ever seen children that say I have money, or say I have money, or poor?” Umahi said.

Umahi urged Nigerians to focus more on their achievements and contributions to society instead of showing off wealth on social media.
His remark comes about two weeks after Cubana Chief Priest attacked him on Instagram.
The socialite had called Umahi the second-worst minister from the South-East and asked President Bola Tinubu to sack him.
Cubana Chief Priest had argued that the South-East had nothing to show for having one of its own as Minister of Works.
