Nigerian billionaire Obinna Iyiegbu aka Obi Cubana’s wife, Lush Eby, has spoken up about the next of kin drama trailing her family.

On April 22, 2025, the Nigerian social media space was buzzing with mixed reactions from netizens who reacted to Obi Cubana clarifying who his next of kin is. This came shortly after his adopted son, Chidi, posted a video where he called himself the next of kin.

After Obi Cubana cleared the air, many netizens bashed the billionaire businessman with some of them blaming his wife, Lush Eby, with real name Ebele Iyiegbu.

In a new development, Lush took to her Instagram account to address the situation. The mum of four talked about how people on social media like to feel like they know everything about a person’s life and even share their life story like it is theirs.

According to her, it is only on social media that people can learn about their history from strangers who have never met them. Not stopping there, she added that online, people like to blame wives and mothers because of their own misguided and evil thoughts.

She wrote in part:

“Only on social media do you encounter people sharing your life story as if they know you personally.

Only here will you learn about your own history from strangers who’ve never even met you.

And only on social media will you see people blaming wives and mothers because of their own misguided thoughts and evil ideas… because that’s who they are. Hmmm… 🤔😃”

Obi Cubana’s wife accompanied her caption with a video from her husband’s recently held 50th birthday party. See the clip below:
