This is the sequel to his earlier criticism on the wasteful and lavish display of wealth in Obi Cubana mother’s burial. Where he made some harsh statements about the whole act and display on the fateful day of the event.

He described the lavish spending of money as stupidity, adding that the venue where the monies were sprayed was not tarred.

“The place where you are spraying money is not tarred…the road is not tarred… can’t you see the stupidity of illiteracy…and ignorant people are excited…yeye dey smell…,” he said.

Cubana had granted an interview to BBC Pidgin where he explained that the wealth he has was a product of hard work from a humble beginning in Abuja where he squatted with some friends.

He added that based on new information, he was sorry for any harm done to Cubana’s reputation by his criticism, adding that he considers him as a great man that has a heart for people.

These were his words in part:

“I want to say something very important, but receive it with the right spirit. On Sunday when I was preaching, I made some comments about a burial that was carried out. And yesterday, somebody sent me a clip of an interview that the man carried out with BBC and in further reflection, those comments were very very harsh and unkind, those comments did not reflect his heart, his attitude.

“With further information, the lives that the man has affected, the people that he has lifted, the destiny that he has invested in…so I want to say sincerely, it is not my intention as a preacher to preach to cause hurt, pain or discredit anybody at all.

“Therefore, in any way, those words might have caused harm or hurt, especially in the time of grief of burying a loved one, I sincerely apologize for such comments that came out of place, that came very wrong.

“In any way that words might have pained Obi Cubana or his family, which are my inlaws or his friends, please from this preacher’s heart, with all humility, I sincerely apologize for those comments and I’ve come to say that with the quality of person that he is, he has my respect 100%, we need more of such people who have a heart for people.”
