Nigerian billionaire Obi Cubana, known for his extravagant approach to his mother’s funeral, recently discussed his motivations behind the lavish event.
In an interview, Cubana shared that his family has a history of members dying before reaching 80 years, including his father at 66, his grandfather at 78, and his uncle at 75.

He had hoped his mother would break this pattern and had been celebrating her birthdays annually to honor her. Despite their efforts, she passed away just shy of 79. In response, Cubana and his siblings chose to give her a grand burial as a final tribute.

‘In my family, I am saying it for the first time: nobody has lived up to 80. My father died at 66, my father’s brother died at 75, my grandfather died at 78, and I told my mum, you will break this. I told her to break it if it’s a generational curse or something. I promised her that for the burial I would throw for her, nobody would break, and we started saving up for that.

I think she died on 31st December; she was 78 and a half, and we were all looking forward to her 80th birthday. But what happened happened, so let’s celebrate her. At least she almost broke it”.

Refreshing your memory, in 2021, Obi Cubana broke the internet as he buried his mother in grand style in Oba, Anambra state. The businessman rose to fame following the burial ceremony which attracted business executives, pop stars like Davido, Dbanj, KCee, E-Money, Poco Lee and Ubi Franklin and actors, Kanayo Kanayo, Alex Ekubo and Williams Uchemba.

The burial reverberated Nigeria for days and weeks as it showcased the height of grandeur and richness. The high point of it all was when the businessman received 246 cows from his friends.
