KANAYO O. Kanayo, Nollywood actor, has explained why celebrities, politicians and prominent Nigerians graced the carnival-like burial ceremony of the mother of Obi Iyiegbu also known as Obi Cubana at the weekend in Oba, Anambra State.
Kanayo, who made explanation through his Instagram page, said he and others were at the burial because Cubana invested in his friends who returned the favour by lavishing so many gifts on him to support the burial.
According to him, those who want to be like Cubana should invest in their friends and build them up.
Said he: “Hello friends, we all become strong by lifting others. Impacting and investment in people is the greatest kind of investment.
“We all took out time to celebrate our brother (Obi Cubana) due to his support and investment in others. It was a burial but also a celebration of life for his mother.
“Now ask yourself how have you impacted others around you? Lessons from the burial; hard work and being selfless for others pays and Obi Cubana epitomises that.
“Helping those in your circle to grow is a huge social capital investment. What is your social capital?
Realnews reports that the larger than life extravagant burial ceremony of Obi Cubaba’s mother, which lasted for one week with attendance from all over the world became the talk of the town and was widely covered by different media including the British Broadcasting Service which interviewed the chief mourner.
In the interview, Cubana who is into hospitality and entertainment business, said they were planning to throw a big party for their mother when she attains 80 years but when she died at 78 they had to go ahead with that plan to celebrate her even in death.
