‘We’re not returning to Nigeria’ — Happie Boys reject OPM pastor’s scholarship

Published

Happie Boys have told Chibuzor Chinyere, the general overseer of Omega Power Ministry (OPM), that they won’t be returning to Nigeria.

The comedy duo gained attention on social media after being dismissed from their jobs at an eatery in Aba, Abia state for dancing while on duty.

Following their dismissal, they were granted scholarships by Chinyere to study in Cyprus.

The comedians later raised the alarm that they were left stranded and had to drop out of school after their funding was discontinued.

They publicly shared private conversations they had with their benefactor, a move that enraged Chinyere.

The matter left both parties at loggerheads, with the clergyman hurling expletive-laden commentaries at the duo.

Chinyere later offered them the option to return and continue their studies in Nigeria or the Benin Republic.

Reacting to the offer, Happie Boys expressed their gratitude but said they no longer need scholarships or financial assistance from the church.

The comedy duo added that they would like to be on their own.

“Papa OPM made us know Cyprus. That man did well. It’s not easy to fly someone from Nigeria to Cyprus,” the comedians said in Pidgin English.

“They never told us about the flight tickets they booked. As for me, I’m not returning to Nigeria.

“We don’t need the Nigerian scholarship. We don’t need the OPM Happie Boys scholarship anymore.

“We no longer need tithe offering. We just want to apologise to him. We ask him to forgive us for what we did.

“But we are not coming back. We will figure ourselves out from here.”

Spyro, the Nigerian singer, has expressed frustration about the constant requests for money and gifts from people.

In a recent Instagram post, the ‘Who’s Your Guy’ hitmaker revealed that he spends “at least N100,000 on gifts” whenever he goes out, which adds up to “around N15 million per year”.

The 34-year-old also complained that people often insult him when he refuses to give them money or gifts.

He said being a celebrity in Lagos comes with immense pressure, and he feels obligated to spend money on others whenever he’s out in public.

“Really hard being a celebrity in Lagos. I told a guy I didn’t have anything and would see him the next day. He rained insults on me. Every day I step out of my house, I spend a minimum of N100k on gifts. Now let’s do the maths: let’s say I go out three times a week, that’s N300k per week, making N1.2m per month, and that’s about N15 million a year. Kilode,” he wrote.

“If I enter restaurant, billings go de wait me outside. I enter church, same thing. Enter estate, same. Carry phone enter online, na same same,” he captioned the post.

“Everybody wants to take, but nobody de give you, and nobody thinks of how you are fairing. 🤦🏾‍♂️ S/O to everyone of my colleagues out there going through this. Ya’ll are the real MVPs, and I celebrate you. 🙏🏾.”
