During a recent chat with Chude Jideonwo, the media personality, Cubana revealed that his wife fell ill after giving birth.
Cubana said this led to rumours that he had used her for “rituals”.
He said a professor, who was part of the medical team treating his wife, informed him that she would survive but might never walk again or be able to have more children.
Cubana said this news broke him, but his wife remained strong.
He said she assured him that she would recover and care for their baby.
“So, my wife, after she gave birth on Valentine’s Day, developed a strange illness,” Cubana recounted.
“Someone called me and said, ‘See what they are hearing—that I went to use my wife for juju,’ and it was my friend.
“So, the person taking care of the brain is not the same person taking care of the… so they were just different people.
“A professor said, ‘Obi, your wife will not die, but I’m sorry, she will not be able to walk again and give birth again.’ Tears! My wife held me; she said, ‘Don’t worry, don’t mind them, let’s go.’
“That night, I cried throughout the night, and she said, ‘Obi, I will walk on my feet again, and I will train this baby.’”
Obi and Ebele Iyiegbu, his wife, tied the knot on June 7, 2008.
The couple have had four children and recently celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary.
