Nigerian businessman, Obi Cubana, has disclosed the reason why he spent money extravagantly for his mother’s burial.

Cubana in a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo said he had previously promised his mother that he would give her a unique carnival-like celebration when she turned 80, but unfortunately, his mother passed away at the age of 78 far short of the family’s life expectancy.

Cubana also revealed that no one has lived up to 80 in his family, stating that his father, grandfather and uncle all passed away before that age.

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”.
