Benin City’s own Akpaka 99 has unveiled his latest project, the Obi Cubana Legacy video, released on September 22, 2025—a vibrant musical and visual tribute that celebrates purpose, community, and the enduring influence of one of Nigeria’s most impactful figures, Chief Obi Cubana.
More than just a song, Obi Cubana Legacy serves as a cultural statement rooted in gratitude and admiration. Drawing inspiration from Chief Obi Cubana’s transformative work with Nigerian youth and society at large, Akpaka 99 channels his message of generosity, leadership, and service into a record that pulses with Highlife rhythms, rich lyricism, and cultural pride. The song’s powerful narrative urges listeners to think beyond personal success, encouraging the building of legacies grounded in meaningful deeds.
The accompanying video amplifies this spirit, weaving a story of community, inspiration, and aspiration, designed to motivate the next generation to embrace impact as much as achievement.
Recorded at Fire Globe Production Musical Studio in Benin City and produced by Ifa God, the track was crafted in just one week—beginning on February 2, 2025, and coming to life with electrifying energy and clarity of purpose. Every lyric and note carries Akpaka 99’s trademark blend of philosophical depth and irresistible groove, ensuring that the project resonates long after the final chord.
