Popular Nigerian businessman and socialite, Obinna Oyiegbu, popularly known as, Obi Cubana, has opened up on his family’s generational jinx.

He revealed that nobody in his family has reached the age of 80, even from his grandparents up till his parents.

Obi Cubana explained in a chat with media personality, Chude Jideonwu, where he explained the reason for the extravagant funeral ceremony thrown for his mother, as a result of her inability to break the family jinx.

Obi Cubana said:
“In my family, nobody has lived up to 80 years, and I’m saying this for the first time. My father died at 66, my grandmother died at 75, my grandfather died at 78, and it ran through to my mom.

“All my siblings are married and successful, and we were praying for my mother to break the generational jinx and the kind of party we would throw for her, nobody would have ever done it; we even started saving up for that. And she died on December 31, at the age of 79, after celebrating 78.

“So I said, she tried at 79 and half, so we brought everything together to celebrate her, at least; she tried and almost broke the jinx, that was why we went all out for the burial.”
