Popular businessman, Obi Cubana, has rubbished insinuations
that his friends and allies made their money through rituals.
Obi Cubana explained that his friends and allies are
businessmen working hard in their various endeavours.
The business mogul was the cynosure of all eyes following
the burial of his mother in Oba, Anambra State, last weekend.
So much money and affluence were displayed during the much talked about burial tagged “Oba happens.”
Friends of the nightlife and hospitality king were seen
spraying money in both local and foreign currencies with reckless abandon
during the burial.
This led to insinuations that his friends made their money
the wrong way.
Reacting, Obi Cubana insisted that his friends and allies
made their money “in a clean way.”
He made the clarification in a statement titled: Obi Cubana
speaks,” which was posted by Joe Igbokwe, a chieftain of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, on his Facebook page.
According to the businessman: “I want to state this clearly,
I am not the talking type or Social media interest-free person.
“Many have questioned the type of boys and friends I have,
to me, I hardly address anyone as my boy because we are all boys to God
Almighty.
“I don’t have any boy who is into rituals, if you are my boy
or my man because I like to address my boys as my men, it means you are working
hard and you made your money in a clean way.”
The business mogul recalled how he helped establish some
people from Oba, starting from 2013.
He disclosed that most of those he helped to establish have
become millionaires and billionaires in their various endeavours.
Obi Cubana said: “In 2013, I pushed 53 uneducated Oba boys
into the market to learn to trade. In 2017, I withdrew all of them from their
Ogas and settled all of them with 3million Naira each and paid for their shops.
“I linked 40 of them into importation and made them use my
name and platform to import goods into the country. After two years, I checked
on them how they were doing and find out some had issues and I supported them
again to stand.
“I am happy today that out of the 53 men, 38 are
billionaires while the rest are in the level of a millionaire.
“In 2018, I took 100 educated men out of streets and
introduced them to the white men for business and today there are billionaires
in dollars.
“They also help me in their capacity when I require their
help. All their friends both Nigeria and outside patronise me.
“I am into hotel and club business and I have so many
businesses I am brand ambassadors to.
“I have alliances with spirit drinks and wines, I am brand
to many businesses in the world.
“It gives me joy to see my men do well, none of my hotel
managers in Nigeria can small poverty, I encourage them to raise others from
their local communities. I have never sacked a worker due to misconduct, I
bring you in and speak to you the way you will understand.
“I have this understanding that we should allow the stubborn
people to exist and cool-headed people to exist and we make use of them when
their needs arise.
“I don’t believe in the supremacy of power rather I believe
in the fair share of power and authority and allow everyone to feel belonged.
“I have many uncountable people through my hotel business, I
have encouraged many, I have made a lot of friends millionaires and
billionaires because it gives me joy. Seeing them throw money around gives me
happiness and they know, so anytime there are with me, they show such an
attitude of throwing money to please me.
“Yes, I will gift 1 million to 300 Oba boys to start up
business and link them up too to make it.
“I have a lot of friends and associates and we are like
brothers to each other. We love and encourage one another in good and bad as
you have seen in my case that all of them came massively to support me.
“Critics is normal and there are there to say what they want
to say but when you are doing the right thing, you don’t listen to what people
say. If I have my way, I will also help those criticising me.
“A lot of non Obas will still benefit from me because I am
still in the business of making people great.
“Cubana chief priest is my man and he is a jolly fellow.
People mistake him for me, I am Obi Kubana and he is my Chief priest I hope you
understand it now.
“I am not into politics and I don’t have interest in it till
tomorrow. I respect those in politics because dey carry power. Lol hahaha.
“My advice is they should identify talents and make them
great, don’t have any fear of who betrays you tomorrow, just make men and move
if they remember good if not be happy that they made it through you.
“I didn’t ask my boys/men for donations or help, I didn’t
also ask my friends for help or donations they did that on their own and I
appreciate their efforts.”
