Last Sunday, August 11, was one that may not have ended on a happy
note for Nollywood diva, Ini Edo. It was a day when
telecommunication giant, Globacom, launched its Lagos edition of the
Glo Slide and Bounce concert with all the ambassadors of the brand
expected to attend the event.
Among these were chart-bursting artistes in Nigeria: Tuface, Naeto
C, Psquare, Burma Boy, Waje, Omawunmi as well as top Nollywood
actors.
Honouring the call in her capacity as an ambassador of the brand, Ini
Edo arrived promptly, a little earlier than the scheduled time of 6pm
and made her way to the back entrance of the Oriental Hotel, Lekki
which led to the main hall.
However, she was prevented entry by overzealous bouncers who
advised her to wait till 6.pm . The actress complied and hung around
the car park, but it was not until 9.pm that a visibly offended Ini Edo
was spotted being led into the hall by the duo of Jumobi Mofe-Damijo
and Desmond Elliot.
This untoward treatment continued when the compere, Okey Bakassi,
acknowledged the presence of all the Glo ambassadors present,
calling out their names one after the other, but leaving out Ini Edo's
name!
This he did twice in a row and this must obviously have irked the
actress. When Bakassi remembered to acknowledge her presence
during his third announcement, Ini Edo had gone.
