Speaking in a recent interview, the 50-year-old mogul said his goal is to step away from daily hustles by the time he clocks 60 to focus on enjoying life, travelling the world, and giving his wife “the best that life has to offer.”
“I’ll retire in the next 10 years, when I’m 60. I’ll travel the world and I’ll give my wife the best that life has to offer. The idea is for these kids to become independent and live their own lives. No more work,” he stated.
Known for his luxury lifestyle, philanthropy, and vast investments across hospitality, entertainment, and real estate, Obi Cubana explained that his current work ethic is driven by a long-term vision to build a sustainable business legacy that will thrive beyond his active years.
He emphasised the importance of working smart and creating systems that generate income without requiring constant supervision, noting that his frequent travels and meetings are part of a broader financial strategy.
“One day, this body will get weak. So that’s why it’s important to position things that will work for you in the next 10 years. If you see me in a jet, at a meeting, or at an event, it’s all part of the plan,” he said.
Obi Cubana, who rose to prominence through his hospitality brand, Cubana Group, has since become one of Nigeria’s most recognisable entrepreneurs, combining flair, business acumen, and a people-first philosophy.
