Ruggedman vs Abuja promoter part 2. Promoter tells his side of the story

You guys already read Ruggedman's version of events (If you missed it, check on it HERE) Now it's the turn of Abuja promoter, Ejiro Okhipwo. He just sent me a statement. Read below....

First of all, I'm embarrassed that this man, Ruggedman, could bring himself so low by exposing his own shame publicly in the media. I'm embarrassed because no artiste could have done what this guy did to us even when we felt we were doing him a big favour. Look, I have organized several editions of this event, and different artistes have graced our event, but we have never been swindled before.  This is our first experience, and unfortunately, it's an artiste who has lost audience appeal that did this to us. I had wanted to let this pass, but since he has gone to humiliate himself in the media, I will follow this up. I'm consulting with my lawyer at the moment, and we may be suing ruggedman for defamation of character, and his failure to heed to our earlier agreement with him.

It's amazing the way Ruggedman misbehaved. As a supposed respected elder in the business of entertainment, we never expected that from him. No wonder he had a fight with his boy, 9ice who became bigger and better than him in the music game.

Now my story:

Quite frankly, what we do when we are bringing an artiste to our show is to pay the person upfront, you give us your most convenient time to travel, and we book your return ticket. It's laughable and extremely ridiculous that Ruggedman is claiming we were to pay him honorarium of N100,000. I couldn't have paid him N100, 000 when he was the one who begged us for the show. He said he wanted an award to get himself acquainted with his Abuja fans. This is not what we would have loved to say in the public domain, if not that he has gone public, because we respect all the artistes we deal with, no matter the status. Having called me personally to beg for the award, we told him, look, we will appreciate your appearance after our event as we did not put you in our budget earlier. We then booked for his flight, we sent him the tickets reference number and he came into Abuja on Friday, the 25th of October, 2013 and was picked up from the airport without delays. He was also checked into a classic hotel with a four star value as agreed, with food and drinks on ground for him to enjoy a day before the event.

Ruggedman refused to pick up his calls: He had over 30 missed calls from us.

 Unfortunately for the MBGA organizers, Ruggedman refused to pick up calls placed to him. In fact, He went ahead to even show some other artistes that were in the hotel with  him , that "see, see, see, the organizers of the event are calling me, but I will not pick, I will make them go through hell since they have refused to see me since yesterday that I arrived’’ How could he have made such claims. Who picked him up from the airport then? The pack of lies is clearly childish and pointless.

Our Bewilderment

We wondered at the change of agreement and his refusal to pick up calls. The question was why was our own Ruggedman disgracing himself over N50, 000 that we agreed to pay him after the event? At list, we expected him to pick up his calls and give us his new terms, but he never did. Information got to us that he was to have a meeting with some people that time over his album, the reason he used our show to transport himself to Abuja. We never believed that in the first place, but it got clearer to me the next day, when this guy showed no remorse towards his actions. Funny enough, he was waiting for his return ticket, and his honorarium, and we kept wondering ‘’ what are we honouring him for?’’. Appreciating him for eating our food, drinking our bear, wasting our ticket money, time and energy? Appreciating him for rudely and unapologetically denying that we brought him into Abuja, appreciating him for ignoring over 30 missed calls? These were the series of questions begging for answers. Ruggedman, even at that, had the guts to take our case to the media; the world is very funny.

Why only Ruggedman? Why not other artistes?

If we can invite all the Nollywood acts, artistes and comedians like him, why should we not want to pay him a little amount of N50, 000 only?

His unbearable attitude and its effect on his career

With an apology, I want to say that Ruggedman is really not a good role model, and that has resulted to his poor performance over time. I think the name rugged is influencing his life and his career. He needs to redefine his name, and what he represents as an artiste. You cannot continue to fight people who try to make you relevant as an entertainer. It's sad.

Why did we invite Ruggedman and not an A-list artiste?

We knew this guy was not an A-List artist, yet we went ahead to invite him to be awarded, Just to have him get on track. He attested to the fact that we were creating visibility for him, but we were shocked at what we received from him; insults, by putting up a very sad news just to tarnish the good name and record of MBGA event.  We won't just let this pass. We will ask some legal questions on why he should come out to castigate us without reasons. We are very sorry for him, because he is going to pay the MBGA for all damages he had caused the event.

Why we abandoned him in the hotel after the event

We admit that we abandoned him at the hotel in Abuja after the event because he refused to perform his own part of the gentlemen agreement we had. would it have been nice to pay him even when he refused to pick up our calls to perform at the show? Had he performed at the show and we refused to pay him, then his media query would have been a little reasonable. How would he have expected the MBGA to pay for his fare back to Lagos? He is a very nonsensical element and should be treated as such. This same Ruggedman stayed in that same hotel on our bills from Friday, a day before the event till Monday; that is two days after the event. So, we told the hotel to check him out once its 12noon on Monday, the 28th of October 2013. What kind human being is he?  How could he be talking about God, when God is already angry with him? This God don suffer for people mouth  jor.

Our legal war!

Rugged man will hear from us very soon. Our lawyers will serve him for damages and he will pay from his nose.  It’s funny and unfortunate that he can't even afford to answer a case at a competent court of law. I think he needs some help, but he is yet to realize that. How can an artiste be fighting all through his career? Is that supposed to be his own calling?

Who threatened who?

I did not threaten him, nobody did that, instead, he was using different people to threaten us. I think the guy wants to use us to promote his album, but we won't let his gimmicks distract us, as we will continue to pull great events for Abuja people."

Our appeal

We sincerely appeal to all our fans to remain calm and focused, believing that we have better things for them. Everybody is a partner in what we do. We do not have any police bosses as claimed by ruggedman. He just deleted me from his Blackberry contact; else, I would have copied all the chats I had with him for you. He did that purposely to conceal our gentleman agreement.

Whoever feels  so concern can call me on 08034523698 to hear more.

I Thank you.

Mr. Ejiro,

Organizer, MBGA.

Gov. Obi Shakes Anambra State University: Val Obienyem:

* Changes name to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu University (COOU)
*Presents N5b Cheque for continued infrastructural Development
*Presents 4 new security vehicles to the School and 2 buses to SUG of both campuses

As part of Gov. Peter Obi's final push towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals, which saw him doling out Billions of Naira for diverse projects in the State, the Governor today announced the change of name of Anambra State University to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu University, during the Posthumous anniversary celebration of the 80th birthday of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu at the permanent site of the University at Igbariam.

Gov. Obi who recalled the change of the name of the most critical road in the State- Head Bridge- to Odumegwu-Ojukwu Boulevard, said the decision for change of name of the university was informed by the heroic contributions of Ojukwu to the Igbo people. Insisting that no honour is too much for him, the Gov. thanked the Federal Government for the honour accorded Ojukwu when he died and called for naming of more institutions after him.
The occasion which witnessed an unprecedented crowd, which only Ojukwu, dead or alive, would pull, also witnessed the presentation of the Cheque of N5 Billion Naira to the Management of the school for continued infrastructural development of the University as well as the paying back of about 500 Million Naira borrowed from the bank by the school. "We have done a lot of work in the University's both campuses. We started this Permanent Site of the University from the scratch. We did the perimeter fencing, Gate's building. “We built the imposing Faculty of Agriculture building; the Senate Building, the on-going Faculty of Management building; the Faculties of Law, Social Sciences and Mass Communications all at Igbariam Campus. We also built the Library and renovated the class rooms. We completed the road to Uli campus and we are presently doing the one to this campus. Through our intervention, the Central Bank is Building 1.5 Billion Naira Hostel here, among others”, the Governor said.
Speaking further, the Governor who presented four security fitted patrol vehicles to the University and two new buses to the Students’ Union in both campuses – Uli and Igbariam- announced the increase in the monthly subvention of the University by 15% starting from January.
In his own remarks, the National Chairman of APGA, Sir Victor Umeh said the renaming of the University and the provision of tools to make it a centre of excellence befitting Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu’s name, was a right decision. “This gesture has added to the immortality of Ojukwu”, he said.
Also speaking at the event, Ojukwu’s wife and the Nigerian Ambassador to Spain, HE, Bianca Ojukwu thanked Gov. Obi for the gesture. She said it was the continuation of the love the Governor showed to her husband even when he was still alive. She called on the people of the State to vote for Dr. Willie Obiano, for having the same temperament as the Governor for great and lofty leadership.
In his Vote of Thanks, the Son of Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, Emeka, thanked Nigerians, Anambra people and Gov. Peter Obi for the love for his father. Calling on the people of the State to vote APGA, he said “If APGA fails, Ojukwu fails; If Ojukwu fails, Ndigbo fails.
The Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Fidelis Okafor said the University community was overwhelmed by Obi’s gesture. He said that Obi had paid the greatest attention to the University than any other Governor since the school was founded. “Before Obi, people hardly choose us as first choice University, but now, like other universities, we have far more number of people applying to us than we can take. He increased our subvention many times. He started the development of the Igbariam Permanent Site; he built a brand new University Teaching Hospital and College of Medicine for us. He was instrumental to the accreditation of many courses in the University. Today, he gave us a cheque of 5 Billion Naira, which no University has got in one full swoop in recent times. We shall reciprocate these gestures by doubling our efforts,” the VC said.
Speaking to the press after the event, the Governorship candidate of APGA, Dr. Willie Obiano, accompanied by his running mate, Dr. Nkem Okeke assured the students that they would review their school fees on assumption of office. They also said that they would continue all the developmental efforts of the APGA government in the University.

Five reasons Ifeanyi Ubah can’t govern Anambra State

Ahead of the November 16 governorship polls in Anambra 
State, a socio-political group, Oganiru Anambra, has come 
out with five strong and serious reasons, the Labour Party 
candidate, Ifeanyi Ubah cannot win let alone governor 
Anambra State. 

Below are their reasons and sins of Ubah as stated by 
Chimezie Okonkwo, the leader of the Eastern-based 
association with offices in Lagos and Abuja, respectively.

“Ifeanyi Ubah is a moneybag and not an intellectual

The truth is that politics in Anambra State has gone
 beyond the inglorious era of moneybags with 
questionable sources of wealth ‘ruling’ them. Currently, 
our state, under the able leadership of Governor Peter Obi 
earnestly yearns for true intellectuals to progressively 
govern them. We do not want moneybags throwing cash 
left, right and centre all in the name of inducing and 
manipulating innocent voters.

His fraudulent cases with FG and Coscharis

Either Ubah likes it or not, his well celebrated 
case with Cosmas Maduka, boss of Coscharis Motors, 
who accused Ubah of defrauding him of several billions 
of Naira in an oil deal gone sour, is still fresh in the minds 
of NdiAnambra. We are yet to hear the last from this very 
ugly show of shame involving a man that wants to govern 
our state. Also Ubah’s embarrassing arrest and detention 
for almost two weeks by the Special Fraud Unit (SFU), Ikoyi, 
Lagos over his involvement in the infamous oil subsidy scam, 
is not good for the image of the moneybag that wants to 
govern Anambra. We won’t dwell much on this story 
because it’s an open secret. The truth is that we at Oganiru 
Anambra will not allow a man with such a big stain or dent to 
govern our state. NEVER.

AMCON’s takeover of Capital Oil and Gas

What on earth would make a moneybag that could 
not manage his own company-Capital Oil and Gas 
Industries Limited, think or believe he can successfully 
run and manage the collective wealth of NdiAnambra 
judiciously and prudently?

Ubah should first go sort himself out with AMCON, FG and 
Coscharis before dreaming of governing Anambra. It is no 
longer news that AMCON has taken over the management 
of Capital Oil and Gas due to Ubah’s backlog of debts owed 
several Nigerian banks. And this takeover will last for a period 
of two years. He should think of how to rescue his dwindling 
fortunes instead of wanting to ‘rule’ Anambra by force.

Ubah has no clear or well defined programme and 
policyAmong the leading contenders jostling for the 
soul of Anambra ahead of the November 16 governorship 
race, controversial Ubah is the only candidate without a 
clear and straight programme for NdiAnambra. Ubah should 
know that ‘ruling’ Anambra goes beyond bulldozing and 
bamboozling his way with cash and other material gifts. 

Anambra people are wiser and urgently needs a leader 
with clearly defined programmes and well outlined policies.

Anambra needs a role model as governor and not a controversial 
manWe at Oganiru Anambra strongly believes that NdiAnambra 
a role model, an intellectual and God fearing person as their 
governor and not a controversial businessman lacking in the 
above leadershipqualities. We urgently need a role model with 
an enviable character and strong pedigree in both educational 
and public lives, not a fellow with multiple controversies 
trailing his every move.

NdiAnambra, November 16 is just by the corner, please 
shine your eyes and vote wisely. All true sons and daughters 
of Anambra must make the right choice for a brighter and 
better Anambra.”

Enugu state First Lady begs human rights groups to release her from house arrest imposed by her husband

This is a strange report. Found it on Sahara Reporters....read below....

Clara Chime, the First Lady of Enugu State, says Gov. Sullivan Chime, has placed her under house arrest, and has cried out for assistance to human rights bodies to rescue her. 

In a letter dripping with pain and suffering, Mrs. Chime (pictured above with Governor Chime) disclosed that she married Mr. Chime in Oct. 2008 but that she has been unable to share the matrimonial bed with him for over four years. Describing her desperate situation, she said that even President Goodluck Jonathan and First Lady Patience Jonathan have intervened with her husband without success.

“My father is late, my Mum and few of my siblings are confused and have done all kinds of prayers they know of, 3 of my siblings prefers me dead than to see me leave the Government house.  He treats my Mum and my siblings bad,” she wrote.

The Enugu State First Lady said she has been introduced to two psychiatrists whose names she gave as Dr. Onwukwe and Dr. Agumo, who have prescribed “all kinds of drugs that ends up keeping me acute depressed and also drives me into hallucinations.”
The doctors, she noted, are scared of her husband the Governor, to whom nobody can tell the truth.
 According to the letter, the Catholic Bishop of Enugu state (Callistus Onaga), and top priests have come to intervene, as have the President and the First Lady of the nation, without success.
Mrs. Chime further complains that Governor Chime has ordered her to leave with her four-year old son whom she conceived before their wedding.  However, the governor, according to her, later threatened to disown the boy should she leave with him.
“He has told everyone he can reach that there is no marriage between us that I can leave if I wish to but whenever I plan to leave he instructs them to lock me in.  I have told him through Sms that I will leave my son behind and leave alone but still he instructed
his securities to lock me inside the house.”
Mrs. Chime further complains she has lost touch with the real world and all that makes her beautiful because of the side effects of the drugs she is taking, stressing that she is under house arrest for committing no crime.
Of the situation in Government House, she said, “He does not take care of me personally, the government gives me allowance to run the house and that's where I save little from to take care of my elf, my Mum and few of my siblings,” she said in the letter.  He shut me out of his life years ago; I don't have access to his apartment. The problem is enormous; I don't know where to start to explain from.”
She said that even the security detail in the lodge has resorted to praying for her, while the few that can be bought with money are taking advantage of the situation.
“Police and SS men have been instructed by Br Sullivan Chime to confine me in a place for a long time now against my wish [but] it is my wish to leave these premises,” she said, begging, “Please assist me to reach to the human rights and say to them to please come hastily and release me.”

Chris Brown granted bail, assault charge reduced from felony to Misdemeanour

Chris Brown catches another break! According to TMZ, he was released a few hours ago without bail and the assault charge has been reduced from a felony, which could have landed him in prison, to a misdemeanor. He's also required to stay 100 yards away from the man he allegedly punched in D.C yesterday.

Chris, who has been in custody since the incident, had been ordered to take a drug test, but the judge vacated that order. His bodyguard's charge was also reduced to a misdemeanor.

Police officers involved in Badagry lynching get bail

According to new reports, the police officers indicted in the lynching of two innocent young men (Ifechukwudi Nwanikpor, 25, and Kazeem Onayemi, 26) in Ajara, Badagry, have been granted bail.

From Today's Telegraph

The officers were arrested due to their alleged involvement in the mob action that led to the brutal killing of the two young men as captured by various video clips which later went viral on the internet.

According to our source, Inspector Adefemi Ashogbon, Sergeant John Sanayon and seven other police officers were granted bail due to their deteriorating health in detention and were allowed to seek medical attention pending the outcome of the investigation and date of their trial.

A video recording by some bystanders exposed Inspector Adefemi Ashogbon and Sergeant John Sanayon, who were attached to the Badagry Police station, at the scene of lynching while seven others police officers were detained for allegedly planting guns on the victims and labelling them armed robbers.

Several calls were made to the Lagos state police spokesperson, Ngozi Braide, in a bid to ascertain the grant of bail. However, they went unanswered.

Kanye West planning extravangant wedding with fight jets next year

Kim K's third wedding will be as extravagant as her second wedding if her fiance Kanye has his way. Kanye, in a radio interview yesterday with Power 106's morning radio show, hinted at an extravagant wedding to take place next summer. 

When asked for a hint about his upcoming wedding, Kanye said;

"Two words: 'fighter jets'" He went further to explain "Kim knew I was eventually going to ask her to marry me. I just had to get that ring right. I worked with four different jewelers. Three rings were made and only one hit the ringer and that was Lorraine Schwartz's. 'I actually changed the ring the night before. The ring was less than four hours old when I gave it to her.'

"I wanted to marry that girl from the first time I saw her,' he said. 'Kim and I are the perfect balance.''I had to wait through a bunch of other relationships to finally get the chance"

Chris Brown blasts Rihanna in new song

Last night Chris Brown released his previously unheard verse from DJ Khaled's single 'I'm Still' containing a clear and present shot at ex-girlfriend, Rihanna...

On the verse Chris raps, 

"Every nigga in the industry done fucked my b***h/ And all my niggas said I told ya/Now all these rap niggas wanna be political/Nah, f**k that I'm a real lyrical/killer"

Grow up, Chris Brown, she hasn't been with that many - only Drake, Kanye West, J.Cole, Eminem, ASAP Rocky, Ashton Kutcher, Matt Kemp, Justin Timberlake and Josh Hartnett (rumoured)... that's not everyone in the industry. *sigh* Listen to the song below...

Sesan the Skelewu video director has responded to all the hoopla.

Davido tweeted yesterday that the video we all saw wasn't the official one and someone betrayed him by releasing it. He also said he's re-shooting the video with UK based music video director Moe Musa. Sesan has responded to all the hoopla. See his statement below

My attention is drawn toward  the chaos surrounding the release of the Skelewu video .

Myself and my team shot the video for Davido in Nigeria and to the best of my knowledge my client and his team were very happy with the result, when they watched/ and approved the video. If he has since had a change of heart, that is ok. I am not in any way responsible for the release of the video. I believe Davido and myself did a very good job regarding the video production and as a professional of over 10 years. I find it very irresponsible and immature if my client and his management publicly put out false statements/comments, in an attempt to tarnish my name, credibility and reputation.

I remain dedicated, humble, focused and as hard working as ever. Thank you to all my fans and industry professionals - Stay blessed.
