Obi Cubana wasn’t known by a lot of people in the past. In fact some confuse him with Cubana Chief Priest, or wonder if one was working for the other that they both have Cubana in their names.
But all that changed from the day he started the burial of his mother in Anambra State about months ago.
Before the burial, Obi had a quiet life online but soon after the burial, he turned a star on social media and gained over 1.2 million followers on his Instagram page in less than 5 days.
Till date not many can say how he made his money and started life, but he owns a clubbing business in Abuja. The EFCC believes he’s a money laundering agent but he insisted he’s not.
