Billionaire Nigerian businessman and socialite Obinna Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, has finally revealed the personal reasons behind the lavish funeral for his late mother.

According to Obi Cubana, the grandeur of the ceremony was deeply tied to a longstanding tradition in his family.

Obi Cubana disclosed that no member of his family has ever lived to see their 80th birthday, a generational jinx that he revealed publicly for the first time.

The philanthropist recounted how his late mother, who passed away in 2020, almost broke this long-standing jinx.

Recall that the philanthropist’s mother passed away on December 31st at the age of 79.

Reflecting on the loss, Obi Cubana disclosed that his family had been eagerly preparing for the possibility of their mother surpassing the 80-year mark.

He mentioned that they had even begun saving up for a grand celebration to honor what would have been an unprecedented achievement in their lineage.

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.”
