Superstitions and Personal Connections

Speaking out, Obinna acknowledged the public’s apprehension regarding the666on his number plate. He questioned the notion of it being demonic, pondering why the government would issue such a number.

I've seen a couple of people who are still superstitious about the 666 number on the number plate of my whip. If this number is demonic, then why did the government give it to me?he asked.

He also considered whether it might be a sign of future wealth, or perhaps something else entirely.

“And if I have the number. Is it a sign? Is it a sign that I'm going to be rich?" he added.

Interestingly, Obinna revealed a personal connection to the number, stating that his KRA PIN also contains a similar sequence. "My KRA PIN has 666. Very strange. The last five digits are 666," he explained.

He also recalled seeing the number plate when he first spotted the car, and again when he later found it in Coast, ultimately purchasing the vehicle for its distinctive rims.

Minor Incident with a Probox

The topic resurfaced after Obinna's Range Rover was involved in a minor collision. He recounted that a Probox driver reportedly "gongard" – or scratched – his car from behind while passing over a bump.

Fortunately, no one was hurt in the incident. Obinna humorously linked the Probox incident to his number plate, asking, "Is it a good thing? Is it a bad thing?".

Life Lessons from the Road

Obinna used the incident as a platform to share some life philosophies, emphasising his approach to learning from mistakes.

"I always try to see if I can pick a lesson from anything that happens in my life. You see, I'm the king of learning from mistakes," he noted.

He drew parallels between the accident and broader life scenarios, likening it to someone picking a fight with another individual "way above their category," much like different weight classes in boxing.

He extended this to public figures, where individuals often pick fights or make allegations, only for the celebrity to be perceived negatively if they choose to respond. He concluded with a cautionary remark: "Don't bite more than you can chew”.
