Nigerian businessman and socialite Obi Cubana has addressed some shocking allegations that have surfaced about his wife’s illness. Known for his success and influence in the Nigerian entertainment and business circles, Obi Cubana was accused by some people of using his wife for money rituals after she developed a strange illness.
In a recent revelation, Obi shared that his wife fell seriously ill after Valentine’s Day on February 14. According to him, her sudden sickness led some to spread rumors that he had used her for a money ritual, given his wealth and lifestyle. However, despite the strange nature of her illness, his wife remained optimistic throughout her ordeal.
Obi Cubana recalled how his wife assured him that she would pull through, telling him that she would recover and give birth to their baby. Her courage and strength during that tough period meant a lot to Obi, who stood by her side while rumors swirled around them.
Cubana, while speaking during an interview with Chude Jideonwo, said, “So, my wife, after she gave birth on Valentine’s Day, developed a strange illness.
“Someone called me and said, ‘See what they are hearing—that I went to use my wife for juju,’ and it was my friend. So, the person taking care of the brain is not the same person taking care of the… so they were just different people.
“A professor said, ‘Obi, your wife will not die, but I’m sorry, she will not be able to walk again and give birth again.’ Tears! My wife held me; she said, ‘Don’t worry, don’t mind them, let’s go.’ That night, I cried throughout the night, and she said, ‘Obi, I will walk on my feet again, and I will train this baby.’”
He also talked about the reason behind the lavish burial ceremony he organised for his late mother in 2021, saying his family has a history of not living beyond the age of 80, with his father, grandfather, and uncle all passing away before reaching 80.
“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.”
