Popular Nigerian cleric, Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanere, widely known as Prophet Odumeje, has called for the return of Ibeto Cement to the Nigerian market, urging people in the South-East to support indigenous businesses.
Speaking during a recent public address, the cleric appealed to residents of Eastern Nigeria to stop purchasing Dangote Cement and instead back the revival of Ibeto Cement.
According to Prophet Odumeje, the return of Ibeto Cement is not only a business aspiration but also a prophetic declaration. He expressed confidence that the brand would make a strong comeback and contribute to economic growth and job creation in the region.
His remarks have since generated mixed reactions on social media, with supporters describing the statement as a call to promote local enterprise, while others view it as a personal opinion regarding consumer choice.
As of the time of filing this report, neither Dangote Cement nor Ibeto Cement had publicly responded to the cleric’s comments.
