"Too suspicious " - Reactions As Nigerian Billionaire B uries His Father In A ₦30,000,000 Bmw SUV in Abuja (video)

 

In a country where the line between luxury and controversy is often blurred, a recent burial ceremony in Anambra State has sparked outrage, disbelief, and a flood of speculation across social media platforms.

A video making the rounds online shows the jaw-dropping moment a brand-new BMW SUV—reportedly worth over ₦30 million—was lowered into the ground as the final resting place for the father of a young Nigerian billionaire simply identified as Obi Cubana Junior by some commenters (though this is yet to be confirmed officially). The extravagant funeral, held in a remote village, looked more like a celebrity event, complete with a convoy of luxury cars, traditional dancers, and a well-orchestrated media team.

But it was the vehicle-turned-coffin that truly turned heads.

> “This is not just luxury; it’s suspicious,” one user tweeted.

“Why not donate the car or sell it and honor the father’s legacy with charity?” another commented.

“Who buries a man in a car unless there’s something else going on?” questioned a Facebook user.

From Mourning to Mystery

While Nigerian funerals are known to be elaborate, this one has crossed a line for many. In a nation where millions live below the poverty line, seeing a luxury car descend into a grave has stirred anger and raised eyebrows. Some called it an "insult to the poor," while others hinted at more sinister undertones—questioning the source of the billionaire’s wealth and whether the stunt had spiritual or ritualistic motives.

The debate has spilled beyond TikTok and Instagram, with news outlets and opinion writers weighing in on the cultural and ethical implications. Some argued that burying the deceased in a car may not only be wasteful but could also be a violation of environmental or public safety laws.

Culture vs. Clout

The burial also brings to light the ongoing tension between traditional values and modern-day clout chasing. While Igbo culture celebrates honoring the dead with dignity and celebration, many believe this ostentatious display had more to do with social media virality than cultural reverence.

According to reports, the BMW X5 used in the burial was custom-fitted to function as a coffin. Sources close to the family revealed that the billionaire had promised his father “a life of comfort, even in death”—a promise he clearly intended to keep.

Reactions Continue to Pour In

As of the time of writing, the family has not issued any official statement, but the internet isn’t waiting.

> “It’s giving Nollywood-meets-Netflix. I smell money laundering or a movie scene,” joked one X (formerly Twitter) user.

“Too suspicious. I hope EFCC is watching,” said another.

Whether this was a personal tribute, a PR stunt, or something more mysterious, one thing is certain: Nigeria has not seen a funeral quite like this one.
