Darling, I am aware that Cubana owns several businesses. It doesn't negate my earlier post. Frankly, I hold nothing against the man. I am not interested in dragging this.

Lmao, using other people's wealth to shine is so typical grin

Racist, powerful and rich white men said worse about black slaves. tongue

First thing you learnt in social studies was that culture is dynamic. You shouldn't be so quick to dismiss her.

AmuRubber:
An age-old tradition should be altered just to please Nkechi Bianze?
I don't understand how this thing works where you come from; but if Nkechi was from my town, unless a bride price was paid, that woman isn't married. Tradition won't be modified in order to massage her ego driven by bitter feminism.
EventsRe: Nkechi Bianze Is Married: "No Bride Price Paid" (Wedding Pictures) by Sterope(f): 8:34pm On Jul 19, 2021
Your tradition has no place for pre marital sex yet you don't scream tradition when people engage in fornication. Your tradition has no place for Christianity yet you combine both. I am not sure but I don't think Christianity supports bride price.

Commencement of marriage can also be 'do you want to marry this man/woman?' grin


donbenie:
Payment of the bride price is SYMBOLIC..
It is what LITERALLY signifies the commencement of marriage..
Most fathers and Ụmụnna would rather accept the bride price and then RETURN it to the Groom's family..
To signify that they are not selling their daughters..
I am yet to hear of one where the bride price is not paid at all..
It connotes that no marriage happened in the first instance..

Let her go and have a court wedding..
That way..

It would be inconceivable to your forefathers what this world has become. Why should it be inconceivable that a woman can have a proper marriage without bride price? undecided
donbenie:
The Ụmụnna is her immediate kindred..
In Igbo marriage rites,the marriage is between the man and the woman's kindred..
There is an extent to which she and her immediate family can be able to influence the Town's marriage customs..
Paying of the Bride Price is the symbolic act of MARRIAGE PROPER,every other rites are add ons..
So it's inconceivable that her bride price was not paid..

pocohantas:
I honestly do not understand why you are barking. If there is anything she has done, she has walked the talk, but you are still not satisfied. You have somehow made it about her age, which shows your problem is just to cause ruckus at every given time.

First, I hope we (including her) all know the difference between the BRIDE PRICE and MARRIAGE LIST. Two different things.

To the topic, BRIDE PRICE and marriage list is not about her, it is about the Umunna. The last time I checked, the BRIDE PRICE is not given to the bride, but to her father. The content of the list is also not given to her, but to the Umunna, Umuada and youths.

Even the bible says, give what belongs to Caesar to Caesar. A core Igbo man would be very restless if he doesn’t pay bride price, because he knows what is waiting for him in the front. Who even gave her drink to give him when BRIDE PRICE hasn’t been paid?

I do hope she had a unanimous agreement with her people on this. She won’t be the first woman to marry without her BRIDE PRICE being paid. However, they all pay it at some point, maybe when she dies.

I have seen women being treated badly and they said it is because they shamefully followed a man who didn't pay their BRIDE PRICE. I have also seen the ones treated badly and they still say it is because he BOUGHT them. Bride price where I come from is N10 and it is SYMBOLIC, not an EXTORTION, not SELLING THE LADY. The presence or absence if it is also not a guarantee he would treat you fairly. That one is dependent on the man and his ideologies.

Thank you

I am trying to figure out which part of my post concerns burial, marriages etc in Anambra undecided

It is a public forum and I can make his business mine if I so wish. Drink water and watch me make it my business.

descarado:
I don't hold brief for anybody. Read that post well and see my disclaimer. If we should tow that angle like you are doing, tell me a clean rich Nigerian? Is it the politicians we celebrate, or the religious leaders? What about the public servants?
Let the guy be.
Like I said, if he is doing some illegal stuff, it's the duty of the govt to scrutinise and arrest him. Not hungry and jobless people online.
My point is that what happened in the man's home is how it is anywhere in anambra and igboland in general during burial. Burial is celebrated more than marriage, birthdays etc.
I rest my case.
Unless you have a personal beef with the man, I don't see why this should be a problem
PoliticsRe: Deji Adeyanju To Obi Cubana: You Will End Up In Jail Like Hushpuppi by Sterope(f): 2:01pm On Jul 18, 2021
This is how rich wasteful Nigerians bury their old. We have a culture where those who don't hold a candle to Cubana's wealth borrow huge sums of money for funeral. This is exactly what any idiot would do as well.

I can have legit Investments and be involved drug trafficking, rituals, cyberfraud and human trafficking. In a country like Nigeria with compromised security, why are you holding brief for any rich man?

Somebody listed cubana's investments, please can you list hushpipu?

I decided to reply you cos this is getting out of hand.
This is how a big man burial always is in anambra state. Can you see that anambra people here have moved on?
It is normal and especially one's parents, they can declare parry for the whole town. Also, if you are rich, friends and associates outdo themselves in this kind of thing to curry favour.

I once did burial like few yrs ago, my family is not like cubana but had my family been into showbiz, you will see almost the same thing here. We as a family wanted very low key burial but it was an abomination to everybody's ear.
You guys should let this matter be. If he got his money legal or illegal, that's between him and the authorities but not holier than thou people we see online that are struggling to make ends meet.

Have you been to anambra state?
Make out time and visit some towns so that anytime you see topics like this, u will definitely ignore as its a waste of your precious time. Torchlight don't beam on igbo people as regards celebrations but this is the norm. They don't even care if Torchlight beam on them, they just do their stuff and life continues. Only a landlord with 4 high rising in onitsha and its environs( that has not stepped outside Nigeria) and two shops in onitsha main market will do this and heaven will not fall.

I wonder why the government is not arresting this criminals on time

They sacrifice everyone in their family and community for ritualism at the end they will lose everything

Benefits obtained in an evil manner or by dishonest means, as in They traffic drugs, they sells their babies for ritualism, send their sisters to prostitution, kill their parents for ritualism. Unfortunate people with their ill-gotten gains.

Their insecurities is so bad criminality av found a place in their DNA. Cursed demonic children

There co.panies might be listed on Nigerian Stock Exchange doesn't mean they haven't made the bulk of their wealth ripping us off as well.
lessonotes:
"When you're succeeding, you would have no reason for pride" - Archbishop Benson Andrew Idahosa

I think we've had enough of this burial thing, even to the point of comparison, and it is caused by the publicity crew of the Cubana's bombarding Nairaland day and night with publicity stunts. They shove it down our throats that these guys are billionaires, and they mention one Jowizaza as a billionaire, whom I never heard of or seen on the dailies. But it fine, we can move on now.

But one thing is certain, the pettyness of calling everyone a Billionaire is robbing us of simple knowledge and eroding our intelligence here on Nairaland.

Adenuga and the likes are in the class of listed Billionaires on the Billionaires index, these guys roll with Presidents and own Oil Wells and employ thousands of families, unfortunately, we don't know much of these showbiz boys (forgive me, I call them boys) with PR crews that are constantly bombarding Nairaland for publicity stuff.

Just for reference, Billionaires from the Eastern Flock:



NB: Some of these guys quoted above have their companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE); Abeg I no fit shout.

Real Billionaires don't make noise and have no need for publicity. They're the real MVPs and Role Models we should all aspire to become. They're employers of thousands, own Industries and enable people to put foods on their tables.

Edit:

I read from this BBC Pidgin page that Obi Cubana's Chain of Clubs in Nigeria is worth $2 Billion USD - https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/tori-57872163
On another same BBC Pidgin page, they said he is worth $96 Million USD, but unverified - https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/tori-57872724

Generational wealth doesn't preclude crimes as well. undecided. If at all, it makes it easy for them to do into crimes and receive proceeds of crimes.

Dangote grandad was a very rich man. Do I think Dangote hasn't taken advantage of others? Tinubu was the governor of Lagos when he was accused of being a drug baron.


mancoconut:
Have you heard of something called "GENERATIONAL WEALTH" before? do you even know who the father of Obi Cubana was when he was alive? my guess is of course no, but what are the chances I won't be wasting my time by first telling you about the type of super wealthy family Obinna Cubana comes from

No Yoruba man is carrying it up and down their heads. It is common sense. This particular event was big, so why aren't you asking these questions?

Same questions we asked of Hushpuppi. I particularly wondered how Ooni made his money when he was crowned Ooni, turns out he ran a real estate scam.

The question is why are you defending Obi Cubana and all of them.


mancoconut:
The way yorubaas dey carry this Obi Cubana's matter for head ehn? They are the only tribe that throw owambe parties every weekend, and you see a typical yoruba man who goes broke after spraying/spending all the money he probably borrowed on owambe and women with big nyansh grin, yet nobody judges them but its a problem when an Igbo gives his mother a befitting send off burial... funny enough I never saw idiots like Adeyanju and his daft brothers show this much "concern" when Arewa boys were splashing cash during sallah... I don't see other tribes nagging and wailing about the cash splurge in Obi's event except from the Aboki's and yorubas, in fact other tribes on Twitter are now defending Igbos after seeing how hypocritical and bitter these people are smh...

To those telling him to let the father take his kids, if you were one of those kids, won't you resent your mother for abandoning you?

Wouldn't you ask that "what type of mother will abandon her kids?"

@Op, you knew she had kids when you married her, I know it's not easy, but you both will have to double your hustle. Get other side businesses, cut your coat according to your material.

If you'll need to downgrade their school, do so, if you'll need to move to a cheaper area, do so.

Do all you can to cut cost.

Those kids will never understand or forgive their mum in the future.

Use two side look the matter.

Another thing your wife can do is to take him to court, especially for child support.

Let her get a good lawyer if she wants him to care for his children.

She can go through FIDA to sort out Co-parenting and child support agreement.

White people used to have serious witchcraft as well including sacrifices, trees, spirits etc.


EmmaxKeys:
I know wailers will flood this comment section to scientifically disprove the claim that the Iroko tree has something to do with the death.

Let me tell you, life is spiritual. No matter how you fight it, the truth is always painful and sometimes illogical. Science is not spiritual and has no spiritual perception. Science is just man's way of trying to interact with the realm of the spirit.

That aside...

I am not saying the Iroko tree is the cause. I am only saying it could be the cause, but you can't know because you don't have understanding. You are limited by your brain.

This is Africa. Africa is different from White man land. We have seen evil since time immemorial in Africa. Many of these trees house witches, spirits, etc. Ohhhh..you think say na Nollywood?

In real life, thunder struck big trees and the trees caught fire. After the trees got burnt, some old people who refused to die in the village started dying one by one.

A pastor poured anointing oil on the stem of a tree during a little crusade, because the tree was impeding the service. In the night, something mysterious happened. People woke up to find the pastor dead, with a long iron rod coming out from both of his ears. Nobody came to the man's room in the night. This was just a pastor without power. He poured anointing oil without understanding.

Or this one. A tree that men have been trying to cut down for years but didn't cut. But in one crusade in one of pastors, it fell down from its root without anybody touching it.

Many other real life stories too. In Nigeria oh, not to talk of Africa.

Life is spiritual my brother. Fight it if you can, but you can't I bet. The tree could be the cause.

"Free thinkers" think they are free. That's the greatest manipulation and deceit in history. shocked

If you aren't spiritual, you are a goner! Logic, Philosophy and science have little role to play. The main thing is to be spiritual.

I rest my case. Court!!!!
