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.
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.
