Cubana Chief Priest has shared a throwback picture of himself as a junior seminarian. The popular Nigerian socialite and nightlife entrepreneur revealed his early aspiration to become a Catholic priest.
Pascal Okechukwu, known as Cubana Chief Priest, posted the image on social media recently. He expressed regret over not fulfilling his late mother's strong desire for him to join the priesthood.
His mother had vowed that one of her children would serve God. This stemmed from years of waiting for his birth after complications. She named him Chibuike, meaning God is my strength.
Cubana tried for seminary admission but did not succeed. He noted that "many are called but few are chosen." He admitted living with daily guilt for disappointing his mother.
Instead of priesthood, he built a career as a celebrity barman. His "Chief Priest" moniker reflects a different kind of nightlife ministry at Cubana.
The post has sparked mixed reactions online. Some users joked about his shift from seminary to bar scenes, while others noted past church videos of him dancing.
This reflection comes amid Cubana's personal challenges. He faces a prolonged paternity dispute with a Kenyan woman, Hellen, who claims he fathered her child and abandoned them. He has denied the claims and offered DNA tests.
Critics point to his flashy lifestyle and past political attempts, including a lost APC primary bid. Recent comments on national tragedies also drew backlash.
Despite the nostalgia, Cubana continues his high-profile entertainment ventures. The throwback highlights the contrast between his pious beginnings and current path.
