People said I used my wife for rituals when she was ill – Obi Cubana speaks about the false allegations raised against him during a difficult time

The business mogul revealed that it was his so-called friends that were spreading the rumors.

Popular Nigerian businessman Obi Cubana has finally spoken about the false allegations leveled against him during the time when his wife, Ebele, fell ill after giving birth.

Cubana recounted this harrowing experience during an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, where he spoke about his wife’s diagnosis and subsequent battle with paralysis after birth.

“After my wife gave birth to Alex, something happened. On Valentine’s day she developed a strange illness. We were at the Hilton then and Alex was three months old and my wife became numb and at the time I was building Cubana. We were managing it but it became worse so on the 15th we were about to check it out and she collapsed so we rushed her to the best hospital then, in Abuja,” he revealed.

He revealed that after a scan carried out on her revealed that she had a cyst in her brain, which caused a breakdown of the nerves controlling one side of her body.

Cubana described what he was going through at the time, both personally and professionally, as it happened during the time he was building his business empire.

“So when we took her for a CT scan, they said that she had a cyst in the brain that was blocking the nerves controlling one side of her body. At the time I became confused because Ibiza was at the top and I had started constructing Cubana,” he explained.

Due to the success his business was witnessing at the time of his wife’s sickness, Cubana was accused of using his wife for money rituals.

The businessman explained: “The discussions started and people started saying things. It was someone who called me and said that he heard people saying that I used my wife for JuJu. I said what? And it was my so-called friends who said it. My focus was on getting my wife to be okay. She went to South Africa and the best hospital started treatment and at a point, she was paralysed halfway. So I was flying to South Africa back and forth and my wife was there for a year.”

He praised his wife’s determination and hopefulness during the time, despite the challenges they were facing.

“The doctor told me that my wife would not die but she won’t be able to walk or give birth again. That night, I cried throughout the night and my wife told me ‘Obi, I will walk in my feet again and I will train this baby.’ She proved everyone wrong; we had three more boys and now you’d never see any sign of paralysis,” he concluded.
