His interest in fashion is legendary and he has pursued this with zealot commitment for over two decades. He first opened A.B.

It was gathered that it was fanfare! Maybe more like funfair when Obi Cubana, the acclaimed King of the finer things of life stopped by at the A.B. Rollings Clothiers store, on Edgware Road, in London, to buy some exclusive clothes and ordered for some personalized bespoke outfits.
The quiet but fashion-savvy designer was on hand to personally attend to Chief Obi’s high-end needs.
As the fashion entrepreneur bid Obi Cubana farewell at his London stores, he could not but appreciate that Obi Cubana, one of Africa’s finest sought out and found AB Rollings in London.
It is noteworthy that Obi Cubana has a Nigerian as his personal clothier/designer which invariably means he patronizes local content although in faraway London.
AB Rolling Clothiers also have on the clientele base noteworthy Nigerians especially entertainers and businessmen who like their attires customized.
It was gathered that the Ogun State in all his dealings, comes across as a perfectionist. Also, in the eyes of many, he is a restless soul, who is always in quest of knowledge to make him stand out in his chosen profession. It was disclosed that he recently opened his new fashion shops in Paris, known as home of fashion as well as well as Istanbul in Turkey.
