Nobody Has Lived Up To 80 In My Family – Obi Cubana

Billionaire Obi Cubana has explained the reason for his mother’s lavish burial ceremony in 2021.

In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, Cubana revealed that his family has a history of not living up to 80 with his father, grandfather and uncle all passing away before that age.

Determined to break this “generational curse,” Cubana encouraged and celebrated his mother’s birthdays, hoping she would live up to and beyond 80.

Although she passed away at 78, Cubana and his siblings decided to honor her with a grand burial, using the savings they had set aside for her 80th birthday celebration.

He said: “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.

“I think she died on 31st December; she was 78 and a half, and we were all looking forward to her 80th birthday. But what happened happened, so let’s celebrate her. At least she almost broke it”.
