Businessman Obi Cubana has gifted popular pastor Jerry Eze a mansion reportedly valued at N500 million as a birthday present, a gesture that has drawn widespread attention online .
In a video shared on Saturday, Cubana was seen presenting the gift to the founder of Streams of Joy International and convener of New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD).
Speaking in the video, Cubana said, “So today I’ve chosen to celebrate one of my most amazing brothers, the man of God, my friend, Pastor Jerry Uchechukwu Eze. So I celebrate you today because you have always been there for us. You have been there for us before God and before man. You have always interceded for us in God’s presence, and you have interceded for us in some very powerful ways.”
He continued, “Looking at these beautiful edifices, you were here in January, and I made a silent prayer to God that by our next birthday I should be able to finish and gift you one. But looking at it, we are still working, and hopefully it will be done soon. And I make it bold to say today I am presenting one to you as a birthday gift for the work of God and for the service of mankind” .
Cubana added, “So I join the whole world and everybody that wishes you well. I wish you a very beautiful birthday today. May God continue to bless you. Happy birthday, my brother.”
The property is expected to be completed by December 2026 . Cubana, who hails from Oba in Anambra State, has built a strong reputation in Nigeria’s hospitality and entertainment industry over the years .
The gesture comes as Eze marks his 44th birthday . Cubana has previously supported the pastor’s work and described him as a close friend who consistently intercedes for others.
Eze, who was investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for six months over suspected money laundering before being cleared of any wrongdoing , has become one of Nigeria’s most recognisable religious figures through his ministry and online prayer platform . He was also recently appointed as an Independent Non-Executive Director on the Board of Heirs Life Assurance .

Congratulations and happy birthday, pastor Jerry Eze. I thank God for your sacrifice to mankind. What God cannot do does not exist!”
#lanreydey4u noted, “Obi Cubana said ‘Happy Birthday’ and went straight to real estate. This is no longer a birthday present, na generational blessing.”
