The nightlife promoter also revealed that concerns about kidnappings and violence were major factors deterring customers from the southeast.
He made this known during a recent interview with BBC Igbo.
“Why I came to Lagos to do business is that most of our siblings are scared to go home… cause if they come home, I will do my business.
“There is widespread hunger in the South-East. It is our own community members who provide criminals with information.
“Our people began targeting the wealthy, so the wealthy stopped returning home during festivities. That is why I moved to Lagos to conduct my business.”
Cubana is facing a legal issue for alleged abuse of the naira. A Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday adjourned the case against him until June 25.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraigned Cubana on April 17 on a three-count charge of allegedly spraying and tampering with the Naira notes during a social event at Eko hotel in Lagos.
He had pleaded not guilty to the charges and was granted bail of N10 million.
