Obi Cubana, the
Abuja-based business mogul, says he started dating Ebele Iyiegbu, his wife,
when he was living in a one-room apartment with his friends.
The 46-year-old nightlife promoter, whose real name is
Obinna Iyiegbu, reflected on his early days and marital journey in a recent
interview.
Obi Cubana said despite his condition then, he and his Ebele
were deeply in love with each other.
The entrepreneur also said after they dated for three years, he tied the knot with her at a time he was living in a three-bedroom flat in the Garki axis of Abuja.
“I started dating my
wife when I was living in a room apartment. It wasn’t even a room apartment in
the real sense because we were four guys living there,” he said.
“There was no bed, the foam was on the floor. I’ll keep
saying it, I met my wife when I was living in one room at a boys quarters in
zone 4, Wuse, Abuja. So, it wasn’t about the money but we’re happy.
“I married her when I was living in a three-bedroom flat in
Gariki. We had our two children there and lived happily. We dated for about
three years before we married.
“That is what happens
when you have a woman that is after keeping a home as peaceful as possible
because peace brings about prosperity.”
Cubana also said that his experience is an indication that
money does not sustain marriage as often insinuated in some quarters.
“Money does not keep marriage although it makes things
easier in marriage. In fact, the richer you’re, the higher tendency for you to
get a divorce. Women love attention, my wife, for instance, loves attention,”
he added.
The entrepreneur has become a viral sensation since he buried his mother, who died in
December last year.
He had recently revealed why
he threw a lavish funeral ceremony in honour of his late mother.
