He shared something which he described as a generational curse that has been plaguing his family for years.

The 80 years curse

During the interview, Obi Cubana revealed that nobody in his family has lived up to 80.

He shared that his father died at 65, his grandfather at 70 and the one before him died at 75. So he and his brothers came together and promised their mum that if she lived up to 80, they would throw her a party unlike ever witnessed in the country.

But to the shock of the businessman, his mum died at 78.

Obi Cubana noted that when his mum passed at 78, he and his brothers were stuck between celebrating her as promised or just doing things minimally since she didn’t get to 80.

But they decided to celebrate her anyway, and it ended up being as big as it was.
