Iyiegbu mentioned that no one in his family has lived past 80 years.
His father passed away at 66, his grandfather at 78, and his uncle at 75. He wanted his mother to break this pattern and always celebrated her birthday. Sadly, she passed away just before turning 79.

Despite this, he and his siblings had been saving for her funeral and chose to give her a grand send-off.
“In my family, I am saying it for the first time: nobody has lived up to 80. My father died at 66, my father’s brother died at 75, my grandfather died at 78, and I told my mum, you will break this. I told her to break it if it’s a generational curse or something. I promised her that for the burial I would throw for her, nobody would break, and we started saving up for that.
I think she died on 31st December; she was 78 and a half, and we were all looking forward to her 80th birthday. But what happened happened, so let’s celebrate her. At least she almost broke it”.
