I wonder if Toyin really knows what
she is doing. Why someone as enlightened as her, will come online to lie about
an endorsement deal is beyond me. Haba it’s shameful.
So blogger Kemi Filani who was
also at the same Airtel event, obviously to cover it, had this unusual
encounter with her. Below is how Kemi reports it on her blog. Oga o.
First things first, I can
authoritatively tell you that Toyin wasn’t paid any N1.5million to attend any
wedding and no, she is not Airtel’s brand ambassador yet as opined below.
Before I proceed, I have to say
this:
I love Toyin, as a matter of fact,
I’m one of her biggest fans cos she is simple and “doesn’t form” like the other
celebrities but I had an usual encounter with her at an event today which made
me conclude that she is er- ‘razz’.
So here’s the gist:
While at an event in Protea Hotel
this afternoon, say around 12:50pm, I met Toyin – she was one of the guests at
the event which was sponsored by Airtel.
Of course, she looked pretty in her
red dress…I particularly loved her jacket and shoes and she looked gentle from
afar and had this very pleasant smile for everyone.
However, she kinda showed her true
color during lunch at the banquet hall….my table was next to hers so i
overheard her discussions.
After serving herself and settling
in her seat, she began putting up this ‘notice me” attitude with an “accent”,
saying stuffs like “Oh my God, I need to get out of here as soon as I can
(gesticulating with her hands)…..Oh i need to call my driver to know where he
is (if you are familiar with the “Alakada’ movie, then you would be able to
picture her gesticulations aright, lol)…this food is ugh!….oh wow, this is good
etc” unfortunately peeps on her table said nothing and i tried hard not to
laugh at my end.
The best part was when she checked
out one of the phones on the table, I think a curve 2, and said “Oh this is a
curve 2 yea, it’s my favorite and best blackberry model…it’s a gooo’d (emphasis
on the ‘Good’) phone yea…” …..at some point, i could almost bet that she was
shooting a movie –
probably another sequel of her ‘hit movie’ Alakada – but
unfortunately there was no cameraman around, lol.
And then an argument sorta ensued
between her and one of the guys seated at her table, i think it had to do with
Nollywood and she argued right there – in public!
Come on, Toyin I love you…but being
the celebrity that you are, you shouldn’t just talk anyhow or er -argue in
public like that.
Anyway, Thank God the argument was
put off quick and she was like “Oh sorry you guys, i gotta leave now, my
dri’vur’ (driver) is around and I wouldn’t want to keep him waiting…twas fun
chatting with you okies, those are the kind of people that would be claiming,
Nollywood is not doing well” and then she pleasantly left the hall.
Of course, everyone at the table
burst into laughter after she left and you could hear whispers of “That babe is
a case sha, choi”….fast forward to fifteen minutes later, I left the hall with
my friends, and lo and behold, she was still at the reception – yea, someone
that didn’t want to keep her driver waiting, lol – and she was chatting with
some well suited guys at the event, she was laughing out loud – yea, it’s a
free world and it’s allowed – they were laughing over the N1.5 million report
bloggers did about her.
She was like “…oh my, bloggers
are…..and just like that, they all just assumed i was paid N1.5million,
buhahahahahaaha, it’s so funny”……
Yea, she made us believe she was
paid N1.5 to emcee at a friend’s wedding last weekend with the caption below
and we believed it, hook, line and sinker.
Anyway, my friends and I had our laugh
and we left the venue some minutes later – but as at when we left, Toyin was
still seated at the reception hall (i wondered where her driver went?” #Okbye!)
