Nigerian Billionaire and Business Mogul, Obi Iyiegbu, well known as Obi Cubana, has urged the public to put effort into checking out on some people to know what they are going through, stating that he has chosen to take life easy because empty we came into this world and empty we will go out of the world.

The billionaire made this known during a call-in live show that was held by Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) season five contestant, Terseer Kiddwaya, on his Facebook page.

The topic of their discussion was based on mental health.

Kiddwaya then asked the business magnate the last time he has ever been asked “how are you doing? How is your mental health?”

In response, Cubana said; “how are you doing is an everyday question. But how is your mental health, is rare.

Because it depends on the person asking it might mean well, but you that is being asked might take an offense not knowing that this person is trying to know what’s going on with you.”

Kiddwaya further stated;“but don’t you think that is a problem in the society especially in Nigeria? Everyone says; how far, how you doing? But nobody says to anybody how you doing with your head.

We create a society where everybody is afraid to speak about mental health, but people are struggling and I feel like we as celebrities need to do more to shine a light on this very serious issue.

The men rate of suicide is higher than women and in Nigeria, we don’t have a current figure to tell you what those numbers are.”

He further asked Obi Cubana if he had ever gone through any mental challenge before and he replied:

“Because if my mindset to life from day one, I choose to take life easy, to manage every situation.

I have this natural belief that empty we come and empty we leave. Personally, I have never had a mental problem, but people go through a lot daily and I think it will be nice when we check up on people.

Not just how are you but to find out how the person truly is. You might not be in a position to solve the problem but when you asked, you kind of take out a big trunk of weight from the person.

The person might sit down and open up to you. These days people are afraid of revealing what they are going through so that it will not become a public discussion. When that person tells you, treat it with utmost confidentiality.”

Poor man complains about depression and frustration and bad mental health due to bad condition.

In a funny twist rich men also claim depression and poor mental health. My question is, what is a rich man depressed about really?? Depressed from having a lot of comfort and wealth?

Having the experience that wealth does not in the long run satisfy you or give you fulfillment. You feel more empty and you see the world as empty and lacking the depth your soul needs.

You are not happy.. what you need you discover that this world cannot give.

When you get wealth, sure you will be happy for some years, but then you get used to it. The happiness has depleted.

You need something more.

Only those who have this can really understand what I just said. But the poor won't understand. Thinking when they have money, they will be fulfilled and be happy forever.

For instance, see the other guy that quoted you below
He is ignorant.

The irony of life.

99.9% of mental health issues is caused by poverty.

True peace of my mind comes from God alone, not even money

Terry waya finally calmed down, nobody hears of him anymore

The last time i saw his pic he looked sick kinda.
