Obinna Iyiegbu, also known as Obi Cubana, is a multibillionaire Nigerian businessman and socialite. He has now disclosed the private reasons for the opulent burial of his late mother.
Obi Cubana claimed that the grandiosity of the event was closely linked to a long-standing custom in his family.
In his words:
“In my family, nobody has lived up to 80 years, and I’m saying this for the first time. My father died at 66, my grandmother died at 75, my grandfather died at 78, and it ran through to my mom.
“All my siblings are married and successful, and we were praying for my mother to break the generational jinx and the kind of party we would throw for her, nobody would have ever done it; we even started saving up for that. And she died on December 31, at the age of 79, after celebrating 78.
“So I said, she tried at 79 and half, so we brought everything together to celebrate her, at least; she tried and almost broke the jinx, that was why we went all out for the burial.”
May her soul continue to rest in Abraham’s bosom.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
