For the guys that run Abuja-based Cubana Night Club and Ibiza Lounge, it is quite glaring that business is good and yielding well. But only a few have forgotten how Obinna Iyegbu, the front man for the group, got into the leisure and entertainment sector. The amiable fellow started out with running a garden in Garki, and along the line, his unmistakable talent for managing a fun spot was noticed by some deep pockets who collaborated with him to establish Ibiza Lounge at the popular Port Harcourt Crescent, Area 11, Abuja.
Following the success of Ibiza Lounge, Iyegbu and his partners moved to Wuse 2 where they set up Cubana. Even after setting up Cubana, the same team went ahead to transform Ibiza from a bungalow to a huge edifice with state-of-the-art equipment. However, those who have been following Iyegbu and his partners in the money spinning nightclub business often say that the secret of their success is their adherence to a strict maintenance culture. Recently, extensive work was carried out on Cubana Night Club. Uptown gathered that huge investments have been made to re-equip and restructure the hotspot which has been aptly tagged ‘the playground of the nouveau riche’. Undoubtedly, the ability of the men to nicely repackage both clubs is the major reason why the hangouts remain the top choice among night crawlers.
