Prince Vincent Anene: What I learnt from Obi Cubana’s 15 years of marriage

Prince Vincent-Anene, an insider who has known Chief and Barr Iyiegbu and their family for a long time, has imparted the lessons he learned from the couple's 15 years of marriage.
Despite his enormous achievements as a businessman, Vincent-Anene described Chief Obinna Iyiegbu, also known as Obi Cubana, as his leader and someone whose steps he had long respected, notably as a parent and spouse.
In a conversation with Potpourri, Vincent-Anene identified seven key factors that she believes individuals should be aware of to have a delightfully fulfilling partnership.
The first reason, in his opinion, is the friendship factor since both couples didn't view one another as husband and wife but rather as friends.
"This couple is more than just parents and married folks; they are also excellent friends. I'd even say they were best friends. This has allowed for a marriage that has survived affluence. I always enjoy being around this couple because they are very playful, funny, and even prank each other," he remarked.
Another element that he pointed out is what appears to be cooperation between the two.
"These two are now partners in progress after being married. Obi's business includes Lush, and Lush's business includes Obi."
Due to this, both will always be present while conducting site inspections. You can always count on Obi to support Lush's NGOs by doing things like participating in her live broadcasts, he promised.
The Iyiegbus never ceased dating each other, according to Vincent-Anene, who claimed that this was essential to their happy marriage.
There is never a week when they both schedule quality date time, whether indoors or outside. They always have these extended video chats, even when one of them is abroad on a trip for work that neither of them can take together due to commitments. They typically use this time to admire, compliment, and support one another.
Transparency, which, in Vincent-Anene's opinion, is essential between Obi Cubana and his wife, is another component that has been recognized from an insider's point of view.
"As far as I know, they have maintained their transparency. Obi always shares anything he accomplishes with Lush first. Both of them engage in in-depth discussions, weigh the advantages and disadvantages, and then collaborate on an action." As a "woke" and "independent" woman, Lush does not strive to do everything on her own, and Obi does not believe he is a man and does not require a woman's input. This has facilitated both of their growth in every aspect of their life.

He continued by saying that for the past 15 years, the marriage has been characterized and sustained by prayer, submission, respect, and loyalty.
An important aspect of this relationship is prayer. Along with praying together, they also make time to pray with their kids. They call the kids to pray with them on the phone; this is a regular part of their lives, even when they are travelling. Their most recent journey to the US is a prime illustration. They take a break from one of our many hangouts, which always lasted until Midnight Central Time, to pray with the kids for a little while," he said.
Regarding Respect and submission: "This pair has perfected the act of respect and submission to one another. Due to the presence of respect and obedience, their relationship has endured, grown stronger, and is currently in full bloom.
Obi adores, loves, and showers Lush with admiration while Lush showers Obi with compliments. For them, obedience and respect signify reciprocity, accountability, and advancement. They were kept going by this, Vincent-Anene observed.
"On loyalty: Lush and Obi have remained faithful to their families, friends, and coworkers in addition to each other as real friends. Tochukwu Ajumorah, who served as Obi's best man at his wedding fifteen years ago, is still serving in that capacity, which was a lovely and sentimental sight.
The couple has perfected the skill of being devoted to their family, guiding everyone in an atmosphere of respect and unadulterated love," he said.
Obi and Lush Cubana invited their loved ones, friends, well-wishers, and admirers to join them in celebrating their 15th wedding anniversary on June 14, 2023.
