People said I used my wife for money ritual when she fell ill — Obi Cubana

Founder of Cubana Group Obinna Iyiegbu alias Obi Cubana has said that he was accused of being involved in “money ritual” when his wife fell sick.

The businessman told media personality Chude Jideonwo in a recent interview that the allegations were levelled against him shortly after his wife was delivered of a baby.

He said: “So, my wife, after she gave birth on Valentine’s Day, developed a strange illness.

“Someone called me and said, ‘See what they are hearing—that I went to use my wife for juju,’ and it was my friend. So, the person taking care of the brain is not the same person taking care of the…so they were just different people.

“A professor said, ‘Obi, your wife will not die, but I’m sorry, she will not be able to walk again and give birth again.’ My wife held me; she said, ‘Don’t worry, don’t mind them, let’s go.’ That night, I cried throughout the night, and she said, ‘Obi, I will walk on my feet again, and I will train this baby.’”

Obi Cubana praised his wife for displaying unyielding courage that left him in awe.

He also revealed that nobody has lived up to the age of 80 in his family.

His mother, whose burial ceremony was the talk of the nation in 2021, died at 79.
