Prominent Nigerian businessman and socialite, Obinna Oyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, has opened up about a deeply personal family issue that has haunted his lineage for generations.


In an emotional interview with media personality Chude Jideonwu, Obi Cubana disclosed that no member of his family has ever lived to see their 80th birthday.


"In my family, nobody has lived up to 80 years, and I’m saying this for the first time," Obi Cubana revealed.


He went on to share the ages at which his close relatives passed away, painting a somber picture of a generational jinx.


"My father died at 66, my grandmother died at 75, my grandfather died at 78, and it ran through to my mom." His late mother, who passed away at the age of 79, came closest to breaking this unfortunate cycle.


"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," he said.


Tragically, she passed away on December 31, just shy of her 80th birthday. In honor of her valiant effort to defy the odds, Obi Cubana and his family decided to celebrate her life with an extravagant funeral. "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," he explained.
