Nigerian businessman and nightlife mogul Obi Cubana has offered a glimpse into the demanding reality of managing a billion-naira business empire. Speaking during a recent interview, the 50-year-old said many people assume being a billionaire is easy, but his daily routine tells a different story.
No Rest, No Time for Food
“People think being a billionaire is a joke. No rest, no time for food,” he said. According to Obi Cubana, his busy schedule involves constant travel, meetings, and little time to slow down. He revealed that he can wake up as early as 5 a.m. and remain active until 2 a.m., despite his hectic routine.
The businessman is determined to maximise his current stage of life while his body and mind remain strong. “Right now is my prime. My body, my legs, my hands, my organs are still listening to me, so I have to use them very well,” he explained. For Obi Cubana, the goal is to work hard now so he can retire without looking back with regret.
Private Jets as Business Tools
He also addressed the perception surrounding private jets, insisting that they are not primarily about showing off. According to him, the jets allow him to move quickly between business meetings and save valuable time. “It’s not about luxury; it’s about efficiency,” he said.
The interview sparked reactions on social media. User @John81791712256 commented: “Omo so many clowns under this comment, I can see so many Nigeria people are becoming comfortable with poverty Omo.” @labalingo noted: “Broke people (who enjoy being broke) dislike this type of video. Broke people (who aspire to leave sapa life) will pay attention. Watch the comments section.” Meanwhile, @Alexizng shared: “Clown. Anyone who cannot explain his source of income in a few sentences is suspect. That is why the country is as messed as it is.”
