Ace comedian Ali Baba has come out to state his disappointment in the Nigerian leaders.

The comedian who is known to be opinionated on the state of the nation, took to his Instagram to explain why.

See what he wrote:

You know what, I probably expected too much from our leaders. People that couldn’t maintain cash cows like refineries, are expected to see value propositions in the national theater? Bet every time they flew over head it in their helicopters or drove by, all they saw was land wasting away! They did not see a hub of entertainment. They did not see that the place could have its own a community FM station, to broadcast social, cultural and historical matters to the environs. They didn’t see cinema halls that already existed, that Silverbird, Genesis, Film One & others are trying to build. They failed to see the capacity hall that can match EKO hotel’s Convetion center, or banquet halls. Bet they also lost sight of the office spaces in the iconic building that would have brought revenue through rents. Not to mention events and shows that can dwarf the impact of FESTAC 77.

Did they see a National Arts festivals that could hold there every year, to create platforms of growth and recognition for that sector? Or dance festivals that could birth AND SILENCE the acclaimed Fela on Broadway and Lion King? How many times would Saro have run there, by now? Bet they didn’t also see the potentials that the lakes had. They can not see how Hyde Park could have been replicated if they planted trees around the place. How about a boat club, that would have reduced the number of people queuing at the boat club for membership slots? When you see aerial shots of the top of structures like the national theater overseas, they are branded. That branding alone would have offset many bills that the National Theater is depending on the Federal government to pay. And who says the national theater can not host our own walk of fame, to honor, Ogunde, Jimi Solanke, Baba Sala, Chinua Achebe,…? Bet they knew that security of the place was an issue. So did they think of fencing the place to increase security which will in turn be a reason for people to go there? Shouldn’t awesome art pieces of historical figures of Jaja of Opobo, Queen AMINA, Idia of BENIN, Ajayi Crowther, uthman Danfodio, Dr. Adadavo, Wole Soyinka… be dotting strategic places. Wetin I know? Shebi I be comedian? Mshewww

AGN reveals why they couldn’t sue Adanma Luke over Junior Pope’s death

Emeka Rollas, the president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), has revealed why the association did not take legal action against Adanma Luke, the producer of the movie that Junior Pope Odonwodo was working on when he died.

Pope died on April 10 in a boat accident on the River Niger in Asaba, Delta State. He was on his way to a movie location when the accident occurred, claiming the lives of four other crew members.

Following the actor’s demise, Adanma was suspended. However, many were left wondering why the AGN did not take legal action against her.

In an interview on Arise TV, Rollas shed light on the reason behind the AGN’s decision.

According to him, the contract agreement between Adanma and Pope made it impossible for her to be sued.

Rollas said the AGN’s legal adviser had reviewed the contract and advised that the guild did not have the locus standi to sue.

The AGN president added that their legal adviser said only Pope’s direct family or wife had grounds to take legal action.

“You know I was here and I said that we are about to sue. In the course of interacting with our legal adviser, he said that from the contract that Junior Pope signed with the producer, the AGN did not have the locum to sue. He said either the direct family or the wife should sue the producer,” he said.

Rollas said another factor that limited the AGN’s ability to get involved in the issue was Pope’s membership status with the guild. According to him, the actor had not paid his dues for over a year, making him an inactive member.

“We are looking at changing a lot of things. We are going to begin licensing actors as part of this restructuring,” he said.

“This will also address issues like Junior Pope’s case. As of his passing, he had not paid his dues for over a year.”

Brown, in a YouTube live with Kai Cenat, the US content creator, addressed questions about his personal life.

The award-winning singer also emphasized the importance of transparency and honesty in maintaining his polygamous relationships.

“Just keep it a hundred. Be honest,” he added.

This is not the first time Brown would be addressing polygamy.

In an interview with Hot 97, the singer opened up about the challenges of maintaining a monogamous relationship due to his celebrity status and constant exposure to women.

“The hardest part is trying to keep a monogamous relationship, but still wanting to be the 25-year-old sex symbol,” he said.

“You go to shows. You might walk by somebody’s room, and you might see about six or seven of them thangs. And you’re like, dang, I just want to slide in there and have a couple drinks real quick and I’ll tell my girl about it later.”

Born Christopher Maurice Brown, the songwriter is often referred to by his contemporaries as the “king of R&B”.
