Obi Cubana Spotted with Seyi Tinubu Abroad in New Video After Apology to Igbos
Nigerian socialite and businessman Obi Cubana, whose real name is Obi Iyiegbu, has returned to social media with a new video that has generated significant buzz online. This comes shortly after his recent apology to the Igbo community, which went viral across various platforms.
Video Shows Obi Cubana and Seyi Tinubu Overseas
In a post shared on his Instagram page on Tuesday, March 23, 2026, Obi Cubana uploaded a video capturing himself with Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu, and another colleague while they were overseas. The footage shows the trio engaged in conversation as they step out, with Cubana and Seyi Tinubu embracing each other warmly like brothers before Seyi departs.
In the caption accompanying the video, Obi Cubana hinted that they had lunch together, writing, "Leadership is a responsibility.....life is a marathon not a sprint!! Tuesday Lunch with the family." He also included the song "Uzo Ano" by Flavour and Phyno in the background, which added to the discussion among netizens.
Context of the Meeting Following Apology
This meeting with Seyi Tinubu appears to reinforce Obi Cubana's support for President Tinubu's re-election, coming on the heels of his viral apology to the Igbo people. Previously, Cubana faced backlash for controversial remarks made during a City Boy Movement event in Enugu, where he suggested that Igbo people lack knowledge, a statement many felt downplayed the community's political struggles.
In response to the outrage, the billionaire businessman clarified that his words were misunderstood, explaining that only ten seconds of his three-minute speech were shared publicly. His apology aimed to address the misinterpretation and mend fences with the Igbo community.
