Nigerian celebrity businessman, Obinna Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, has been honoured with a traditional chieftaincy title in his home state. The event, which took place on Saturday, January 3, 2026, in Enugwu-Ukwu, Anambra State, was a grand celebration attended by family, friends, and associates.
A Celebration of Honour and Culture
The businessman took to his social media pages to announce his new title, sharing a heartwarming video from the coronation ceremony. In his post, he proudly declared his new name: "Chief Dr. Obinna Iyiegbu. Ife Igbo Ji ka Mba Enugwu-Ukwu na Umunri." He expressed profound gratitude to the people of Enugwu-Ukwu, stating the honour would never be forgotten.
Alongside the video, Obi Cubana flooded his Instagram with stunning photographs showcasing the elaborate regalia that accompanies his new status. The centrepiece of his attire was a colourful and remarkably massive traditional cap, a powerful symbol of his chieftaincy. The cap, adorned with intricate designs and feathers, immediately became a topic of fascination and discussion online.
Nigerians React: Focus on the 'Heavy' Crown
As congratulatory messages poured in for the business mogul, a significant portion of the online conversation hilariously shifted to the size and weight of his new headgear. Many Nigerians flooded the comment sections with witty remarks and questions about the cap.
Some users, like Nwaoha Ndubuisi Oliver, humorously inquired about the "feathers of different colors," while others like Evidence Emma pointed out that those questioning the cap were likely not familiar with Igbo traditional attire. Comments such as "U carry big money still carry big chieftaincy cap" from Okechukwu Chigbo Peter and "This cap no go heavy?" from Bright Chimezie captured the playful tone of the reactions.
Others, like Maryann Ezeoma, referenced the famous Shakespearean quote, noting, "a typical of uneasy lies the head that wears the crown." Amidst the jokes, many, including Chinedu Maurice, celebrated the event as a well-deserved honour for the businessman and a proud moment for the Enugwu-Ukwu community.
Beyond the Title: Reconciliation and New Acquisitions
This chieftaincy honour adds another layer to Obi Cubana's public profile, which has recently seen other developments. In related news, it was reported that the businessman had reconciled with online critic VeryDarkMan. A video showed a warm exchange between the two at a show in Abuja, signalling an end to their past feud.
Furthermore, just days before the end of 2025, Obi Cubana expanded his luxury car collection with a brand new 2026 Rolls Royce Cullinan, sharing a video of himself and his wife with the expensive vehicle. This combination of cultural honour, public reconciliation, and lavish acquisition continues to keep the businessman in the spotlight, blending traditional prestige with contemporary celebrity culture.
