Comedian Julius Agwu is lamenting about his current situation – he is trapped in the US, no thanks to Jimoh Ibrahim and the recently defunt Air Nigeria.

Agwu says he flew with Air Nigeria from Nigeria to London for his ‘Crack Ya Ribs‘ show which was held on August 26, 2012 at the plush Lighthouse Hall, Camberwell but cannot return to Nigeria now because the airline has abruptly shut down services.

The owner of the airline, Jimoh Ibrahim, had on Wednesday, September 5, 2012 announced a one-year suspension of all activities of the airline and terminated the employment of all its staff, sparing only 50.

The usually lively comedian took to micro-blogging website Twitter to complain bitterly;


Is it a Crime to support nigerian bizness, we flew AirNig to Lond, now we can’t return cos #JimohIbrahimOFR ordered a closure GEJ #WHY?☹’, @JuliusAgwu1 tweeted.

‘#JimohIbrahimOFR #JimohIbrahimOFR #JimohIbrahimOFR #JimohIbrahimOFR #JimohIbrahimOFR GEJ#WHY??’, he continued

Agwu then asked for the suspension to commence after his return to the country. ‘#JimohIbrahimOFR… Postpone ur closure until after our return o!!!! #NaijaBizness‘.

The on-going ‘Crack Ya Ribs’ show is however going on smoothly; after staging concerts in London and New York, Agwu and his crew will be going live on stage in Houston on Saturday, September 8, 2012.

This post has been hidden because the poster was thinking of asking about garri while typing.

masterpiecer:

4direct: It is incredible how much intelligence is used in this NL to bring nonsensical post to FrontPage, Ok hes stranded, Id been stranded lotta time. so wat? This is inverted bullshit

.
I am sure u saw d topic b4 clicking, u are free to walk away if you find it disappointing rather than seeking attention, anyway we have seen you. Thanks for coming.

Where you dey? London or usa? Misleading topic.
The poster was obviously drinking garri when he posted this. If una like,ban me, nairaland is taking valuable hours of my life anyways.

Brand_new: [size=14pt]Jimoh Ibrahim was supposed to at least serve all tickets sold before ordering the airline's closure. I think he's too busy trying to salvage what is left of his business empire.[/size]

He would make refunds where neccessary

You see each time you advice them to smoke enough garri they will be acting i dont know. Agwu drink garri make you feel at home. #garri-revenge
