For the past four days, the social media had been in a state of suspended animation as reports, photos and videos from the burial ceremonies of the mother of the night club owner, Obi Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, filter out. Lady Ezinne Uche Iyiegbu (JP) died in December 2020 and to celebrate her passing, Obi Cubana decided to shut down their native Afor Uzo Oba, Anambra State, with a one-in-town series of parties. The first sign of sheer extravagance came when he posted a video where one of his protégés, Cubana Chief Priest, brought in a truck filled with 46 cows! He captioned the video; “246 cows & counting. Who wan chop meat o.”
By Friday, July 16, morning, he had reportedly received about 500 cows. Many avid social media users jocularly rechristened him ‘the herdsman’ as he also received about 700 rams. But that is not all. A list of donors made the rounds where his friends donated over N200million to support the burial; not that he needed it anyway. Sources at the party said there is a standby truckload of the most expensive Glenfiddich whiskey while Henessy Paradis, with videos to prove, were being distributed like bottled water. Every known celebrity of Igbo extraction is currently in the pastoral village. Other expensive champagnes flowed like a river.
Perhaps what made the party generate many talking points was that several of Obi Cubana’s friends engaged in a competition of who sprays the most money. To just greet Obi Cubana on arrival, some people resorted to spraying. Others waited until while drinking or marrying before engaging in the maniacal spraying spree. Even an otherwise conservative popular actor like Kanayo O. Kanayo was not left out as he displayed bundles of mint N500 notes in his anteroom and captioned it ‘Ego Amaka’.
Indeed, it has been raining naira and other foreign currencies non-stop in Oba for days. It is safe to say that in recent memory, there has not been a gaudier and more outlandish display of obscene extravagance.
Pray, who is Obi Cubana? Described as a self-made millionaire even though there is no record of his hailing from a wealthy home or a transparent trajectory to the wealth in his control; he is a University of Nigeria, Nsukka graduate. He ventured into the nite club business in Abuja about a decade ago and is today the founder/chairman of Cubana Group which owns a chain of nite clubs and restaurants across Nigeria.
Otherwise a private businessman even when his clubs had become very popular, Obi Cubana became a social media sensation with the assistance of one of his aides, the limelight-hugging Cubana Chief Priest whom he later fell out with. It was the bulky Cubana Chief Priest who gifted his former boss 46 cows.
While avid social media users are still feasting on the videos and pictures from the burial, more discerning Nigerians are questioning the source of wealth of some of Obi Cubana’s guests, even his!
