It is the 51st birthday of popular Nigerian businessman Obinna Iyiegbu, better known as Obi Cubana.
Taking to his Instagram page to celebrate his new age, he shared photos of himself in white traditional attire, as he listed out his titles.
“Happy birthday, Chief Dr Obinna Tochukwu Iyiegbu.
Okpataozueora Oba.
Ifeigbojikamba Enugwu Ukwu n’umunri.
Odogwu!!”.
In his comment section, Destiny Etiko wrote, “Happy birthday, Odogwu. More life
Cubana Chief Priest wrote, “Leader of life
Omoni Oboli wrote, “Happy birthday bro

Zoro wrote, “Happy birthday, double Chief”.
Earlier this year, Cubana revealed his plans to build the biggest city in Africa. He shared photos of himself on site, stating that one’s dreams should keep them awake at night and that the power of positive thinking should be used.
The billionaire businessman announced on Instagram that he has become a new creature and that old things have passed away. He noted how God has been massively good to him and everything that concerns him.
January was raining titles for Cubana. Kemi Filani reported that the Cubana group founder was conferred chieftaincy, the Ife Igbo-Ji-Ka, by the Igwe and traditional council of Enugwu–Ukwu na Umunri, led by Igwe Ralph Obumnemeh Ekpeh.
Not done, the billionaire businessman had received another traditional honour in Anambra State. He was conferred with the chieftaincy title Okpataozueora I of Oba by the Igwe of Oba, His Royal Majesty, Engr. Sir Augustine Chinedu Emelobe, GON (Eze Okpoko II of Oba).
Obi Cubana has no doubt come a long way in life. In 2022, he recounted how circumstances almost ruined his convocation at UNN. The Cubana Group founder narrated his experience while travelling for his convocation, recounting how he and his friends travelled on night bus because of its affordability and cheapness. Unfortunately, he lost one of the priceless gifts his uncle gave him for his good grades and that nearly ruined his convocation.
His philanthropic acts and business acumen earned him a Doctorate in Business Administration from Enugu State University.
In 2023, he expressed joy at fulfilling some of his core values as he attended the 50th Convocation ceremony of UNN.
The businessman rose to fame following the burial ceremony, which attracted business executives, pop stars like Davido, Dbanj, KCee, E-Money, Poco Lee and Ubi Franklin and actors Kanayo Kanayo, Alex Ekubo and Williams Uchemba.
The burial made headlines in Nigeria for days and weeks because of its grandeur and richness—the high point was when the businessman received 246 cows from his friends.
