Chairman of Cubana Group, Obi Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, says he does not have “soap” to cut for anyone.
Cubana, who made this known in an interview with BBC News Pidgin on Tuesday, advised youths to work hard and earn a better life.
“Soap” is a lingo used in Nigerian social circles to affirm the ritualistic tendencies among youths. In an era filled with quick-rich schemes, young people involved in fraud and other illegalities resort to charms to fortify their heinous trade. When the phrase, “cut soap for me” is used, the person who made the statement simply means: “show me the way to get rich” or “take me to a ritualist”.
had earlier reported that Cubana had an elaborate funeral for his mother. For days, he has been a social media sensation and the rave of the moment, especially with the ‘naira rain’ at the event in Oba, a town in the Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, last weekend. Several videos went viral that show celebrities, business people and politicians spray money indiscriminately during a concert held after the interment of the deceased.
Many youths have since flocked to social media to hail the nightclub boss asking him to “cut soap” for them.
Speaking during the interview, 46-year-old Cubana condemned money rituals and urged youths to work hard to make their money legitimately.
He also stressed his belief in the power of prayer, God, hard work and investment in quality circle of friends.
