A beloved businessman is turning a traditional honor into a promise of prosperity for thousands in southeastern Nigeria.
Chief Obinna Iyiegbu, known across Africa as Obi Cubana, pledged to attract major investment and development to Oba and Anambra State after receiving the title Okpataozueora I of Oba.

His Royal Majesty Igwe Augustine Chinedu Emelobe bestowed the title in recognition of Cubana's contributions to community development and youth empowerment. The monarch praised the entrepreneur for bringing honor to the ancient kingdom through his business success and charitable work.
The title Okpataozueora translates to qualities of broadmindedness, courage, and lifting others up. It's a fitting name for someone who has built a reputation championing human capital development across Nigeria's southeast.
Cubana expressed deep gratitude to the Igwe and Oba Traditional Council during the colorful ceremony. He described the title as a call to higher service and reaffirmed his commitment to the community that shaped him.
The businessman has become one of Nigeria's most recognizable cultural ambassadors, promoting Igbo values of enterprise and hard work. His influence spans hospitality, entertainment, and philanthropy, creating opportunities for young Nigerians in multiple industries.

Cubana's pledge could mean new jobs, better infrastructure, and increased economic activity for Oba's residents. His commitment to attracting outside investment shows how one person's success can become a community's gain.
The monarch called on Oba's sons and daughters worldwide to support their newly installed titleholder. His ongoing dedication to social impact and economic development has already made waves far beyond Anambra State.
The inaugural Ofala Festival marks a new chapter for Oba, celebrating tradition while looking toward a more prosperous future.
