How Ruggedman Made A Fool Of himself Because of N100,000- Ejiro Okhipwo

You must have read Ruggedman’s accusations about Abuja based promoter  Ejiro Okhipwo. Well, he  responded in an interview withTatafonaija

Here is his side of the story

Ruggedman: CALLED ME: begging to be on the event list of awardees and performance with his so called backup singer on a faithful day. We accepted he should attend the event as an award winner and also do a performance for his fans. In this said informal agreement we on our own side are expected to do him a to and fro air ticket from Lagos for two persons, him and his so call backup singer, hotel accommodation, and feeding for the time they will be staying.

We sent him the tickets reference number(ZYRBRL-Aero contractors) and he came into Abuja on Friday the 25th of October 2013 and was picked up from the airport without delay. He was also checked into a classic hotel (Top Rank Galaxy Hotel,2 rooms) alongside other celebrities as agreed, with food and drinks on ground for him to enjoy a day before the event.

But unfortunately for us ruggedman refused to pick calls placed to him to get the N100.000 agreed upon by the two parties. In fact, Him ruggedman went ahead to even show some other artistes that also came for the event with him in the same hotel we kept him, that see, see, see the organizers of the event are calling me I will not pick, I will make them suffer since they have refused to see me since yesterday when I arrived, we really wondered why our own ruggeedman would wish to disgrace himself over a N100. 000 ONLY. At least we expected that he picks his calls and we talk on how he wants the payment to come to him, 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 N100.000 ONLY.

Mr Ejiro,what are your final words

RUGGEDEMAN IS REALLY A VERY BAD PERSON THAT’S WHY HE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO WRITE ANY GOOD SONG AGAIN. He will continue to go down as far as we are concern and this is because he is no more an A CLASS artist and we went ahead to invite him to be awarded JUST TO HELP HIM BACK ON HIS FEET AS A FORMER TOP GUNNER IN MUSIC but what we have received from him was him trying to insult our personality by putting up a very inciting news with the name of the MBGA event on the net.

 We are very sorry for him because he is going to pay the MBGA for all damages he has caused the event. He was abandoned at the hotel in Abuja after the event because he refused to perform his own part of the informal agreement as an artiste so he shouldn’t expect the MBGA to pay for his fair 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 to the event to Monday two days after the event. So we toldthe hotel to check him out once its 12noon on Monday the 28th of October 2013.

Rugged man will hear from us very soon, our lawyers will serve him for damages and he will pay from his nose but its funny the unfortunate thing is that even if he’s sued he doesn’t have a dime to pay the MBGA. He is a poor rat that should be down trying to be up again but contrary is the case because he decided to bite the finger that feed him.

He keeps fighting all the days of his life because he is a bad person, we appeal to all our fans to be clam and be good. Better things are still on the way for us all. We have decided to move Nigeria to the next level and the likes of ruggedman can never put the MBGA down. He is down as an artist and that remains his business.

HOWEVER RUGGEDMAN I FORGIVE U GO AND BEG GOD FOR HIS FORGIVENESS STOP TRYING TO HUMILIATE ME AS A PROMOTER, THE TRUTH IS THAT YOU SHOULD NOT USE ME AS A PROMOTER TO PROMOTE YOUR NEW ALBUM.

After the interview we asked if we could put up his number, so he could confirm the story himself, he obliged  For more information you can call the organizer himself Mr Ejiro of the event on 08034523698.

For those who missed Ruggedman’s memo,.read below

I do not know why i always want to help out. I guess its my nature but it gives room for a ot of people to take advantage and repay my good with evil. It has happened once too many and i am tired of it and this Ejiro Okhipwo will not go unexposed for the fraudster/trickster that he is.

He is the promoter of the so called most beautiful girl pageant in Abuja,so i was told when i met him a few months ago while in the middle of a messed up promoters event,i guess they know each other smh. We became friends and i agreed to make an appearance at his October 26th event in Abuja for an honourarium of 100k penre, all for promoting my artist o. Na there i enter one chance.

1. He delayed till the Friday before his event to get in touch with me and pleaded to pay 50k into my account to balance off as soon as we landed Abuja. As a good person i agreed,since i had already given my word.

2. By 3.30pm no bank alert and i thought he was trying to wait till 4pm when bankswould have closed to say “we have paid the money,but i guess they didd not post it in time thats why you havent gotten the alert”. So i called and asked that the person with the cash should be waiting for us at the airport.

Thinking i was dealing with a rational human being,i decided to head to Abuja so that it wont be said that i refused to come because of the lean change he did not send.

LANDED ABUJA 8:30PM and no cash at the airport,no Ejiro Okhipwo either. We proceeded to the hotel where we stayed until the next day. No welfare,i had to take care of everything from my pocket o (make hungry no kill us where we dey wait for useless people in Jesus name…).

SATURDAY 5:00PM still no word or the presence of Ejiro Okhipwo but someone called fuja who works for him brought two packs into my room. On opening it i found some cold,milkless,sugarless oatmeal. The second pack contained boiled yam,under friend plantain under baked beans LWKMD. I wondered if it was breakfast,lunch or both….at 5PM O.

The event was slated to start by 7pm and by 6pm i sent Ejiro Okhipwo a BB message that i will not leave the hotel room if he doesnt pay what was agreed because i was already suspecting foul play. No response and we lounged till the next day.

SUNDAY: hotel management informs us that Ejiro Okhipwo said everyone should check out of the hotel by 12noon. We called him only for him to send me txt messages that “i am heartless for not coming to his show and will fuck me up” LMAO!!!

A show that he did not pay the lean honourarium “we” agreed to? The deal was to pay before i leave Lagos,i even managed to get to Abuja and he did not have the courtesy to come see us? Even if he did not have the money to pay,i have done loads of free shows for small time promoters like him. His would not have killed me.Now here he was threatening to fuck me up. I laughed so hard.

A few people i know called him and he kept bragging and threatening (over the phone) that he will deal with me and fuck me up.

Finally: Mr Ejiro Okhipwo i have been in Abuja since then and i have not seen you let alone getting fucked up by you (if i hear).

I have even had enough time to apply for and get visas for me and my artist and yet we havent seen you.

Desmond,your PAs friend was involved in an accident and suffered internal bleeding while driving artists who came for your event and when you were told all you said was “its none of your business”. God will forgive you.

The girls you brought from Lagos who worked for you and you ran off without paying them or giving them transport fare to go back will never forgive you.

The babe (name witheld) you brought from Lagos and you abandoned her in the hotel (because she no give you do) will never forgive you.

Mr Ejiro Okhipwo of most beautiful girl in abuja,so many people speak ill of you and i pray to God that you change your evil ways. I wont say its because you are short (short man devil) because i know a lot of great short men. I guess you think you are smart and can use and abandon people,but you are far from smart. Your days are numbered and karma is a bitch.

You keep saying commissioners are your friends,the IG is your friend. So? They are not above the law and will not stoop as low as to support your stupid antics. The same IG that is against crime? He will probably end up locking you up.

I wrote this so people and especially fellow artists should beware of the moronic abuja entertainment fraudster called Ejiro Okhipwo. If you must work with him (at your own risk) COLLECT ALL YOUR MONEY and RETURN TICKETS before you fly to Abuja,because you might not see him after the event and dont be surprised if he threatens to fuck you up lol!!!

ENTERTAINERS STAY AWAY FROM EJIRO OKHIPWO,he is not to be trusted. I am speaking from experience
