When has it become a crime to make a referral for colleagues, Saidi Balogun shared more light on the social media troll alleged by his Junior Colleague Actress Tayo Sogbola

A man named IDRIS BELLO came to me a few weeks ago and introduced a Hajj trip package. I wasn't interested initially until he showed me a copy of my colleague IBRAHEEM  CHATTA'S advert. I was convinced knowing how well Chatta is very versed on religion and Islamic matters, so I decided to give it a shot.

A few days later, he pleaded with tears in his eyes that I should get some of my other colleagues in the industry to buy into the traveling packages, he further explained that he had invested 20million naira already on the project and he was running into a huge loss.

His story seemed convincing, so I decided to encourage him by introducing MUSTAPHA  SHOLAGBADE (versed in Islam)and SHOTAYO SHOGBOLA to his package.

During his birthday at Oriental hotels Victoria Island, where he proposed to his fiancee in the presence of my self  Lateef Oladimeji, Ibraheem Chatta, Shotayo, Mustapha.

 The gathering gave me a total conviction that the man is up to the task. I felt that if he could bring us all under one roof in one day, he might be able to pull bigger jobs. I guess I was wrong.

 I decided to run an advert for his package which he paid like 0.5% of the deal and complained there was little or no turnout,  I believed him and took further steps.

Before I knew it he had collected money from these people, he equally collected two hundred thousand naira from me when he claimed he had problem asides two other people which he promised to give free trip from Ibadan.

 Approximately, he took over four hundred thousand naira (400k) even after he had promised them a free trip, the two people came to me that they had no money for international passport, which I fund them from my pocket to do the intl passport, aside that, I also bare the cost of there trip from Ibadan to Lagos and the hotels with feeding on account of my goodwill.

After I had done all these expenses, Idris ran to me again, that he had issues he wants to solve, my self and Ibrahim Chatta came to his rescue and I am also aware Ibraheem also borrowed him 200k.

Along the line, Shotayo said she was no longer interested. But a week after I heard that the people  Shotayo told earlier paid, which left me to confuse and shocked.

Unknowingly we got to the boarding plane only to find out that the booking he claimed he had made was not reflecting. He didn't show up with the two other people's passport/Visa either. Right there, we were left with two options either to report to the authorities or escalate the matter via social media platforms.

 My self and Ibrahim Chatta decided to let the matter rest and let  God judge our actions according to intentions while we ponder on the next line of action. But later we thought of other victims that were involved who may not be willing to take such step because of the amount involved.

So, we set two options for ourselves either to go as a group to complain to the Authorities which others obliged or individual take it up and once there is a need to report to the Authorities we all make ourselves available.

Mustapha Sholagbade told me Sotayo had reported the matter to the police and she had collected a letter from Higher Authorities, which make me at peace that all is in control,

And each time Shotayo reports me to people, I try as much as possible to call but she declined to speak to me and never returned my calls. I don't hold this against her because I reasoned she might be angry. I was totally alarmed to see my name being dragged on social media for sins I never committed.

When has it become a crime to make a referral for colleagues? When we know that referral is the
life wire of entertainers. My intention for bringing my colleagues on board was clear and noble as I never knew it would end this way.

Nevertheless, necessary investigations are still going on and we will alert the public as things unfold.

In conclusion
I will advise the public to beware of fake journalists who for their selfish interests do copy and paste without proper investigation. Only God knows how many lives and career have been ruined to such a heinous act.

In God I trust!

#YourViewTVC: You can’t call my husband unless it’s his birthday- Funke Akindele tells friends

Funke Akindele and hubby, JJC Skillz.

Award-winning Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele-Bello aka Jenifa, has said it is unacceptable for her friends to feel so cozy with her husband that they start exchanging casual phone calls or text messages.

Funke who is married to JJC Skillz, further said her friends can only call him when it’s his birthday or when they want to reach her but cannot. Other than that, its a no-no for her.

The actress who welcomed a set of twins last year, said this during an interview with TVC’s popular program, Your View

When asked her opinion about friends and respecting personal spaces in marriages and relationships, Funke said

For me, personal space is personal space. Your best friend has to stay in her lane. Your friend can come to your house, your husband can know your best friend, he can say hello but why would she be calling my husband on the phone? Except its his birthday” she said.
