Chairman of Cubana Group, Obi Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana has revealed how he made his first million after completing the one year National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme.

Obi Cubana, who graduated from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka in 1998, with a degree in Political Science, disclosed this in an exclusive interview with BBC Pidgin.

According to him, he was jobless after his graduation and he searched everywhere for job opportunities.

He said,“After undergoing my compulsory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme in Abuja, I started searching for a job all to no avail.

“That made me start some small jobs and from there I became a real estate agent. I usually get five percent of every task that is successfully executed. It was along the line that I and my colleagues met a man who asked us to help him furnish his house.

“We did it very well that he gave me N500,000 separately from the profit of N600,000 which I also made from the deal. That was the first N1.1 million I made before I joined contract work in Abuja. I signed a contract with PPMC, made a little money, then bought my Mercedes V-boot,” he said.
