‘Fake News’: FG Didn’t Request Loan from Obi Cubana — Lai Mohammed

The Ministry of Information and Culture on its verified Facebook page on Sunday placed a ‘Fake News’ stamp on a news item claiming the Federal Government requested a loan from Cubana Group Chairman, Obi Iyiegbu aka Obi Cubana.

The news which was published by an online medium read in part, “Obi Cubana has this kind of money and Nigeria is borrowing money from China. Cubana should borrow us money, Nigeria is collapsing- Lai Mohammed”.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, denied requesting such from Obi Cubana.

Obi Cubana has been trending on social media for the last four days for hosting a lavish funeral for his mother in Oba, a town in Idemili South local government area of Anambra State.

There were numerous media reports of hundreds of cows donated by Cubana’s friends along with an expensive necklace.

Several videos emanating from the event also show people spraying money indiscriminately while a concert was held after the burial and was attended by musicians Davido, D’Banj, Phyno among others.

The ‘naira rain’ at the event has led to several memes asking Nigeria to borrow money from Obi Cubana instead of China.
