Many people might object to his extravagant way of life and even debate where he got his incredible wealth. However, Obi-Cubana and his wife Ebele, who recently marked 15 years of marriage, have some advice for other married couples.
It is no secret that many young men are hesitant to get married in today’s society, especially if they are wealthy. This is because so many marriages are breaking up left, right, and center. It appears that the wealthy and famous, like the Nigerian artist Davido, are content with having unmarried children with their constantly changing girlfriends, whom they now stylishly refer to as “baby mamma’s.”
It therefore comes as a welcome surprise that a man of Obi-cubana’s wealth and background, who could have easily been distracted with other women and afford to keep many side chicks, instead appears to celebrate married love with his wife even after 15 years.
Since they have been through the storm that frequently destroys many marriages together for 15 years, Obi-cubana and his wife have reason to celebrate. To do so, they celebrated in typical Obi-cubana flamboyance at their Abuja home, where they invited friends and well-wishers to a lavish ceremony and delectable meals as they came out in style to renew their marriage ties. Amid applause and cheers from friends and onlookers, the couple danced and kissed as if they were new lovebirds and exchanging vows.
When Obi-cubana buried his mother on July 16, 2021, the great ceremony that saw many of Nigeria’s powerful people and politicians converge on the event with a flamboyant display of cash spraying propelled him into the national spotlight.
Obi-cubana, 49, is said to have made his first significant break in 2006 when he invested in a nightclub in Abuja that was so successful that it spawned a chain of hotels and nightclubs across the nation. Given that many politicians in Nigeria enjoy going to nightclubs, it is not surprising that Obi-cubana is well-liked and has many other politicians as friends. He is also said to have a net worth of about $500 million.
Contrary to many politicians and billionaires, Obi Cuba appears to be blissfully married and still in love with his wife, which is rather surprising. Obi Cubana discusses how he met his wife in an interview that will air on Vanguard on July 22, 2021. He claimed that when he first met his wife Ebele, he had nothing and was living the typical bachelor lifestyle in a one-room apartment in Abuja. However, three years later, when their love blossomed into marriage, he had purchased a three-bedroom apartment, and that love had not stopped bringing him success as he is now one of the top billionaires in Nigeria.
Studies indicate that the main reason for the high rate of marital infidelity in Nigeria is that most people marry not out of love but for money and security, and this is evidence that Ebele did not wed Obi-cubana for financial gain.
Obi-cubana actually says, “Money doesn’t give a happy marriage,” which may surprise many aspirant Nigerian youths. Obi-cubana quickly clarified, however, that “it helps make marriage easier.”
In fact, I dare say that the results of numerous famous marriage dissolutions may support this. For instance, if having money alone could ensure a successful marriage, why would one of the richest men in the world, Jeff Bezos, divorce his longtime wife and start a new relationship with another woman?
In fact, it seems obvious that when people marry for other reasons than true love, such as money, security, or as is the case with some women, to leave their parents’ home or because they are too old, the true love that should bind the couples together is absent. As a result, as soon as circumstances change after the marriage, they quickly reveal dislikeable traits or character flaws in the other, and soon hatred and disgust begin to set in, spouses start to see the other with disgust.
Therefore, there must be another secret component to creating a sweet and happy marriage in addition to money.
The advice given by Obi-cubana to husbands is that if they want to keep their wives happy, they should make sure to give them the attention they crave (“Women love attention, ensure to give it to them”).
Obicubana, who actually lives up to his words, never misses an opportunity to show his wife Ebele love and admiration.
According to a report in the vanguardnewspaper, Obi-cubana serenaded his wife on Mother’s Day this year and posted about it on his Instagram feed.
“Celebrating you today, Omalicha nwunye m! Happy Mother’s Sunday to you and all the amazing mothers all over the world. God bless and reward you for all you do. Amen. We love you.”
And his darling wife responding, “Thank you Dim Oma.”
Prior to this, he did not to forget to celebrate his wife, on the occasion of the international women day, posting her pictures with such words that would make any woman feel loved and cherished. He wrote, “I celebrate you today, my beautiful wife and all the beautiful women out there. You all are beautiful. You guys rock! Happy International Women’s Day!”
And Ebele his wife would not be outdone, replied, “Thank you, my king.”
While some men may forget their wives birthday, Obi-cubana deosnot , according to report, on February 26th which is his wife birthday, Obi-cubana posted such endearing words on his instagram feed to his wife that that would make many a woman blush.
He said: Every February 26th is a very special day for me, as I have every reason to thank God for creating a rare angel in human form, especially and specifically for me. I celebrate you each day we live, and I will celebrate you forever my Lush Eby!
“Thank you for who you are to me, and to everyone that comes across you. You are a very special being! Happy birthday the love of my life.”
Even last years when they celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary he shamelessly spoiled her with so many words of endearment saying” “Grateful to God, thankful to Him for these great past 14 years of marital bliss, and the unimaginable blessings that followed. We appreciate you God!
“To my love, Lush Eby, I will do this life journey with you over and over again. Thank you baby for all you are to me, and all you do for us. Happy 14th wedding anniversary to us.”
Obi-cubana does indeed show a high level of emotional intimacy, and his wife reciprocates in a similar way. In his article titled “How to grow Emotion intimacy,” Wayne Parker provided a definition of emotional intimacy. Emotional intimacy is defined as a closeness wherein both partners feel secure and loved and where communication and trust are abundant. According to Parker, husbands who put forth the effort to cultivate this emotional intimacy make better spouses, incredible husbands, and as a result, have strong marriages.
Consequently, at a time when research indicates that divorce rates are increasing and marital infidelity is prevalent in Nigeria, Obi-cubana deserves praise for helping to restore the respect and love for marriage that have been so long neglected among his adoring young fans. He does this by celebrating his wife almost every year. Additionally, his actions are inspiring young people who are looking for examples of a contented married couple to emulate in order to model their own marriage, which the Church has always emphasized as the cornerstone of any society.
According to Catholic doctrine, marriage is a sacrament, a holy institution, and one that ought to endure until death. The family that prays together stays together, so it is important to ask God’s assistance by regularly receiving spiritual support, such as the Eucharist, and praying because it is not simple and many things can break a marriage’s bond.
Given that a family that prays together stays together, it is noteworthy that Obi Cubana and his wife were able to be seen on camera receiving Holy Communion during the celebration of their 15th wedding anniversary. This is a wonderful way to strengthen the love and unity between husband and wife. This is strong evidence that they are devout Catholics who understand the importance of receiving the Eucharist and prayer for a successful marriage.
We can therefore sum up by wishing Obi-cubana and his wife Ebele many more years of a happy marriage and urging other married couples to imitate Obi-cubana’s emotional intimacy with his wife. Though they might not be as wealthy as Obi-cubana, by doing this, their marriage could become rich in affection and happiness.
