Nigerian socialite, Pascal Okechukwu aka Cubana Chiefpriest, has warned against spraying money at parties in a passionate plea on social media.

On May 1, 2025, the self-styled celebrity barman posted a long note recounting how he almost went to jail in 2024 for spraying money at parties.

According to Chiefpriest, famous or well-known businessmen should be especially careful because the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) are not playing around.

Not stopping there, Chiefpriest declared that nothing would ever make him spray money in any currency again. He also added that he’s working on another way to show off one’s wealth at parties because spraying money now is a sure way to attract EFCC.

Cubana Chiefpriest’s post came shortly after Nigerian socialite, Emeka Okonkwo aka E Money, was arrested by the EFCC from his home in Lagos and taken to Abuja for questioning. The businessman was eventually released after some hours.
