Renowned Nigerian businessman and philanthropist, Obinna Iyiegbu, popularly known as "Obi Cubana", is making headlines again—not for his lavish parties or entrepreneurial feats, but for a heartfelt moment of motivation within his family.
During a recent celebration honoring his wife’s academic achievement, Obi Cubana issued a spirited challenge to his five sons, encouraging them to rise to the occasion and uphold the standard now set by their mother, Ebiere Iyiegbu, better known as "Lush Eby".
Lush Eby recently graduated with a Master’s degree in International Business Management from the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom, finishing with distinction. The impressive feat, accomplished while managing her role as a wife and mother to five boys, drew admiration from many—both offline and online.
In a world where many women put their personal dreams on hold to raise a family, Lush Eby’s academic journey is nothing short of inspirational. Her success sends a powerful message: motherhood and academic ambition can coexist—and thrive.
Speaking at the celebration, an emotional yet humorous Obi Cubana seized the moment to deliver a memorable charge to his sons. While appreciating his wife’s dedication and achievement, he laid down the gauntlet for their children:
“I challenge my boys—if your mum, after raising five of you and managing me in the middle of it all, can graduate with distinction, then nobody has an excuse. If you fall below her standard, I will personally flog your backsides.”
The room burst into laughter, but the message behind the jest was clear—education matters, and so does striving for excellence, regardless of circumstances.
Obi Cubana, often known for his luxury lifestyle and influence in Nigeria’s entertainment and hospitality sectors, reminded everyone that academic excellence still holds weight, even in a world consumed by quick fame and fast money.
His remarks reflected not just fatherly pride but a deeper value system—one that honors effort, discipline, and self-improvement as key pillars of success.
As expected, the heartwarming moment went viral. Netizens flooded comment sections with praise, calling Obi Cubana “a father with vision” and applauding Lush Eby for setting an example of grace, balance, and brilliance.
“This is the kind of pressure we need—positive, purposeful, and rooted in love,” one commenter wrote.
Another said, > “Obi Cubana and Lush Eby are redefining couple goals. Legacy is more than money—it’s about values.”
In a culture that often celebrates material success, Obi Cubana is choosing to lead his family with purpose. His wife’s academic achievement isn’t just a personal milestone—it’s a legacy-building moment that is setting the tone for future generations.
By publicly honoring her success and encouraging their sons to do even better, Obi Cubana is sending a strong message: True greatness is not just in what you build—but in who you raise.
