May Day celebrations took a deeply personal and emotional turn for Nigerian billionaire businessman and nightlife mogul, Obi Cubana, as he proudly announced the academic triumph of his beloved wife, Ebele Iyiegbu, fondly known as Lush Eby. The entrepreneur took to social media on Wednesday, May 1, to jubilantly celebrate his wife’s graduation with a master’s degree in International Business Management from the prestigious University of Surrey, United Kingdom — and not just any graduation, but one with distinction.
The Anambra-born businessman, famous for his hospitality empire and philanthropic ventures, didn’t hold back in expressing his admiration for his wife, hailing her as a stunning embodiment of intelligence and grace. His heartfelt post, splashed with affectionate nicknames and celebratory emojis, quickly captured the hearts of fans across the globe. “Obidiya Okpataozueora1, Lush nwanyi ọma!” he began in his tribute, mixing English and Igbo to emphasize the depth of his joy and admiration. “This my baby bagged a distinction in International Business Management, MSc. from the prestigious University of Surrey! And today, 1st of May is her graduation day!”
For a woman who is not only a mother of five but also an influential entrepreneur and philanthropist in her own right, this academic feat represents yet another jewel in her crown. Obi Cubana proudly declared that the entire month of May, and indeed the entire year, would be a celebration in her honor, as he urged his fans and followers to flood the internet with congratulatory messages. “Help me type ‘Congratulations Lush’ for this beautiful mom of 5; Beauty and Brains personified!” he exclaimed, attaching glamorous photos of the power couple beaming with joy.
The couple, known for their public displays of affection and mutual support, have long been admired as a power duo in Nigerian society. Lush Eby, while often appearing reserved and composed, has shown herself to be just as ambitious and impactful as her husband — and this academic milestone serves as undeniable proof. Her journey to obtaining a master's degree with distinction while balancing motherhood, business, and social responsibilities is not only commendable but inspirational to countless women striving to combine family life with personal aspirations.
Fans and well-wishers flooded the comment section with praise, congratulating the couple and especially celebrating Lush Eby’s brilliance. “Congratulations my Super Woman. Beauty and Brains personified. Keep soaring, keep winning,” one user wrote, echoing the sentiments of thousands of followers. Another chimed in with, “Congratulations, LUSH Nwanyioma. Keep soaring, sis,” while others simply called her “Queen of the Empire,” a title that resonated strongly among her supporters.
In a time when celebrity news often revolves around scandals and controversy, the Cubanas’ celebratory post stood out as a refreshing reminder of love, partnership, and progress. It also highlights a growing trend among Nigeria’s elite, who increasingly value and pursue higher education despite their already-established success. For Obi Cubana, whose name has become synonymous with luxury, entertainment, and influence, this moment was not about wealth or fame, but about honoring education, personal growth, and the unwavering support of a life partner.
The celebration was not confined to Instagram alone. Across various social media platforms, the congratulatory message trended as fans, celebrities, and even business associates joined the chorus of celebration. Photos from the graduation day showed Lush Eby radiating elegance in her academic regalia, a testament to years of hard work, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to self-development. Though the billionaire’s post was light-hearted and affectionate, the message it carried was powerful: that behind every successful man is a woman not just holding the home but conquering the world in her own right.
Obi Cubana’s declaration of love and pride also serves as a gentle nudge to aspiring couples and young people to appreciate the role of education, personal achievement, and mutual growth in a relationship. For the Cubanas, it seems love is not just about grand gestures or extravagant parties — it is also about clapping the loudest when your partner wins, and celebrating those victories as your own.
As the festivities continue for the Cubana household throughout the month of May, fans can expect more heartwarming updates, possibly even a grand celebration party — something Obi Cubana is quite known for. But whether or not there’s a lavish event to follow, the message has already been delivered loud and clear: intelligence is attractive, ambition is beautiful, and in the Cubana household, love and success are a shared journey.
Indeed, as May begins with this celebration of academic excellence, many are left inspired not just by Lush Eby’s achievement, but by the way her husband chose to honor it — publicly, proudly, and passionately. In a world that often overlooks the quiet power of educated women, Obi Cubana’s tribute serves as a megaphone, reminding everyone that being beautiful and being brainy are not mutually exclusive — they are, in fact, the perfect pair.
