About a week after the grand burial of the mum of Obi Iyiegbu, the nightclub owner and businessman, aka Obi Cubana, actor, Emeka Ike, has said those criticising the lavish display of wealth at the weeklong event have no right to do so.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, Ike said, “We all mind one another’s business in this country because people are always looking for the negative things. As he (Iyiegbu) is spending, it shouldn’t be anybody’s problem. He is simply having fun. And if it is a way of honouring his late mother, what stops him from calling his friends to come around and celebrate her life? Maybe, that’s his way of doing it. He has also said that he has helped many people and many of them would want to repay the favour.”
Ike also disagreed with those who said that Nollywood painted most rich Igbo people as occultists. He said, “There are different ways people can show their affluence. Some might choose to ‘spray’ money and it could be a one-off thing. I don’t think I have heard Kanayo Kanayo spraying money anywhere before now.
“We are not going to carpet all that because of someone spraying money at a function. Maybe Cubana had been nice to them and they decided to spray that amount of money. However, it is left for the government to decide whether to ban spraying of money or not.”
The actor also maintained that Nollywood actors were not all about showing off.
He said, “People can have whatever opinion they want about Nollywood. The industry is diverse and there are many people working in it. The fact that some actors sprayed money there does not mean we should carpet the whole Nollywood. Later this month, we (some actors) are going to commission a computer centre with over 20 computers, desks and accessories at Ejigbo Community High School, Lagos. It is also fitted with a projector screen. We would give awards to the best students in certain subjects, and outstanding teachers.”

Why is that his own wealth is stage party? So many Nigerians need that money they waste on parties to establish small scale businesses if they could help. Imagine 30 millions spent on coffin alone.

..BUSY BODY. NOBODY IS ASKING HIM TO REPRESENT GOVERNMENT OR TAKE OVER THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES. IF HE IS BLESSED, HE COULD AS WELL MAKE USE THE MONEY PROPERLY AND HELP SOME OF HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN NEED ON HIS OWN TERMS, EVEN IN HIS OWN TOWN OR VILLAGE. HIMSELF WOULD BE HAPPY IF HE DID INSTEAD OF WASTEFUL SPENDING. NEVER REASON WITH YOUR ANUS.

The problem is some if you just worship ill gotten wealth without querying the source of the wealth. You call that money made from hustling, then you must be thinking with your ass.
People with legitimate source of wealth would think twice before throwing it away like that you moron. People like you were once glorifying Hush Puppies until his source of wealth was uncovered. Don't worry Obi Cubaba's secret would be unveiled. I'm sure the FBI and Interpol are compiling dozier on him. I'm sure, sycophants like you would pick another air brain rich guy to praise after Cubana
