Nigerian billionaire and entrepreneur Obinna Iyiegbu, widely known as Obi Cubana, has never been one to shy away from speaking his mind — and his latest comments are already causing a stir online. The Anambra-born businessman has boldly dismissed the idea of money rituals, and gone a step further to challenge the role of pastors and spiritual leaders in the pursuit of wealth.
| Nigerian billionaire Obi Cubana addresses money rituals and spiritual shortcuts to wealth. |
Speaking confidently in Igbo to an audience, Obi Cubana went straight to the point — money rituals, in his view, simply do not exist. He did not stop there. He also challenged the popular belief that pastors or spiritual leaders can pray wealth into anyone's life, describing such beliefs as mere illusions.
His message was clear — stop looking for shortcuts and stop outsourcing your destiny to middlemen.
Seek God Yourself — Not Through Someone Else
According to Obi Cubana, the true path to success lies in individuals seeking God personally rather than relying on intermediaries. He explained that every person has the privilege to approach God directly, as He loves all and has destined good plans for humanity.
The core of his message was simple but powerful — your breakthrough is between you and God. No pastor, no prophet, and certainly no ritual can shortcut that process.
Nigerians React — and the Debate Is Fierce
The video, originally shared by GossipMillNaija on Instagram, quickly went viral with Nigerians sharply divided in the comments:
