Obinna Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, earlier this year, took over the Nigerian social media space with everyone talking about his mother’s burial ceremony, which happened at Oba in Anambra State.

The burial ceremony was arguable one of the most ostentatious events Nigerians have seen in a very long time. Social media was agog for the show of wealth during the five days celebration, with many celebrities and social media influencers in attendance.

Over 200 cows were gifted to the businessman to slaughter for the celebrations, and this didn’t deter his friends from raising millions of Naira to support Obi in sending his mother home in grand style. One would have thought this show of affluence would have given the businessman negative backlash; still, instead, it only boosted his social media status and secured more followers.
