Abuja stood still on Saturday night as business magnate and hospitality mogul, Obinna Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, marked his golden jubilee in spectacular fashion. 

The founder and CEO of the renowned Cubana Group turned 50 and celebrated his milestone birthday with a lavish party that has now been dubbed one of the most glamorous social events of the year.

Held at the prestigious Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja, the celebration themed ‘50 for 50’ was a majestic affair that brought together a constellation of Nigeria’s biggest names in politics, business, and entertainment. 

Obi Cubana ensured that his guests experienced opulence at its finest ranging from luxury giveaways to heartfelt tributes.

The festivities kicked off on Friday night with an exclusive soiree where 50 guests received brand-new Samsung S25 smartphones one for each year of the celebrant’s life. 

The main event was an octane spectacle, flooded with dignitaries, celebrities, and socialites.

Leading the high-profile attendance was the 2023 Labour Party Presidential Candidate and former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, who lauded Obi Cubana for his vision, resilience, and impact across industries.

Joining him were notable figures such as Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, Senator Chris Ngige, former Deputy Speaker Emeka Ihedioha, Senator Dino Melaye, and other influential personalities across the political and corporate landscapes.

The entertainment scene was equally electric. 

From soul-stirring highlife performances to vibrant DJ sets, the atmosphere radiated pure celebration. 

Music mogul Paul Okoye (Paul O) added flair to the night, while celebrity appearances elevated the red carpet buzz.

Actress Ini Edo, media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Nollywood veteran Kanayo O. Kanayo, Big Brother Naija stars Mercy Eke and Tacha Akide, comedian Okey Bakassi, and skit maker Broda Shaggi were all in attendance.

The glitz, the glamour, and the generosity, all trademarks of Obi Cubana combined to deliver a birthday celebration for the ages.
