    Ebele Iyiegbu, the wife of billionaire businessman Obinna Iyiegbu a.k.a Obi Cubana, has faulted men who insist that building up a woman is a waste of time.

    Her husband had made a post in which he advised men to build their partners up.

    However, some men misguided by past negative experiences averred that doing that would be a waste of time as the relationship might fail eventually.

    Addressing such men, Mrs Iyiegbu said that while their comments may be valid, good women still exist.

    According to her, a woman is a reflection of how her man treats her and the female gender thrives in love and care. She said that it is usually difficult for a good woman to walk away and men should pay close attention to how they treat their women.

    She also advised females to change the narrative about women by becoming women who can be trusted when built by their husbands.
