Social media is buzzing after a video surfaced from billionaire businessman Obi Cubana’s star-studded 50th birthday bash, showing an unnamed guest spraying stacks of cash that could rival a bank vault.
The opulent party held in Abuja drew celebrities, dignitaries, and influencers but it was this jaw-dropping cash display that stole the spotlight.
The man behind the money reportedly told the person filming not to show his face. While recording, the videographer threw shade at Nigerians abroad hustling through double and triple shifts, igniting online backlash.
