Nigerian billionaire entrepreneur Obinna Iyiegbu, widely known as Obi Cubana, has once again captured public attention with his generosity. The nightlife mogul recently surprised a young content creator, Somto, by gifting him ₦500,000 after a playful video of the child comedian went viral.


Somto, popularly admired for his hilarious skits, took to his Instagram page on Monday, September 29, to express his gratitude. He posted a screenshot of the credit alert, proving the billionaire’s kind gesture.


 “Okpata ozuo ora don shake me with 500k. Thanks a lot sir @obi_cubana,” Somto captioned the post.



The young comedian had earlier shared a funny video in which he jokingly lamented that he received only “a small handshake” from Obi Cubana when they met at an event. In the clip, Somto humorously told his manager that despite greeting the billionaire warmly, he felt unnoticed.


The skit quickly went viral across social media, drawing Obi Cubana’s attention. In a heartwarming response, the philanthropist promised to reach out to the boy and later fulfilled his word — not just acknowledging Somto but also gifting him ₦500,000.


The gesture has since sparked widespread admiration online, turning what began as a lighthearted complaint into a touching moment.


Meanwhile, in another inspiring story, Obi Cubana was recently celebrated for sponsoring a Lagos street hawker’s education through university until graduation — reinforcing his reputation as a philanthropist.
