Nigerian billionaire Obinna Iyiegbu, known as Obi Cubana, has won hearts for publicly disciplining his son.
Kemi Filani reported on Saturday that the billionaire businessman turned 50. To celebrate his new milestone, he threw a huge party in Abuja, which had many celebrities, politicians, and public figures in attendance.
In a clip making rounds online, the businessman was captured standing beside his son, who was sitting, as the Labor Party presidential candidate walked up to them. Peter Obi exchanged greetings with Cubana and turned to exchange greetings with his son, who was sitting.
Obi, who found his behaviour unruly, told him to stand up to greet the politician, which he did.

Back in 2023, Obi Cubana expressed pride in his son and his accomplishments. Sharing photos and videos from his son’s graduation, Obi praised him for making him proud and noted how the son of an Odogwu will always be an Odogwu.
A year before that, Cubana was in a proud dad mode as his son bagged 10 awards. Sharing photos from the school’s ceremony, Obi Cubana noted how proud he was of his son and revealed that he deserved a super vacation for making him proud.
The businessman rose to fame following the burial ceremony of his mother, which attracted business executives, pop stars like Davido, Dbanj, KCee, E-Money, Poco Lee and Ubi Franklin and actors Kanayo Kanayo, Alex Ekubo and Williams Uchemba.
The burial made headlines in Nigeria for days and weeks because of its grandeur and richness—the high point was when the businessman received 246 cows from his friends
