Obi Cubana to sponsor hawker to university of his choice and establish him

Emeka Jeremiah, a hawker on the street of Ajah area of Lagos State would have thought of giving stipends to inmates who were being transported to prison in a Nigerian Correctional Service van, as a gesture of sympathy or goodwill but he never knew he was caught on camera on the very act and his life changed for good.

Popular socialite and CEO of Cubana Group, Obi Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, on Saturday, in an interview with radio talk show host, Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Daddy Freeze, disclosed his intention to sponor Emeka Jeremiah through tertiary education in any institution of his choice and also establish him.

Speaking during a live Instagram interview, Obi Cubana said, “Love should be shown in our actions and not just in our words. I want to meet the young boy who despite being a hawker, gave N100 notes to people in a prison van and was not even aware that he was been filmed by a concerned passerby who was driving on the same road.

“Anyone who knows him should connect the boy with Daddy Freeze or me. I want him to go to school in good condition, and I would see him through the University, and if he wants to do his Masters degree abroad, I would also make sure that he is comfortable while going to school because his generosity touched me.

“I would do whatever he wants for him, and by God’s grace, when he is done in school he would get a top-level position at any of my organisations, and if he, however, finds a higher calling, he is free to do as he pleases. The most important thing is that I want him to know that he now has a mentor who would guide him through this tough world.”
