I Didn’t Bill Dangote To Perform At His Daughter’s Wedding –ali Baba by GrandPa01(m): 4:06am On Apr 01, 2018 |
When the richest man in Africa , Aliko Dangote , decides to party , it is expected that cash will flow . Many believe that all the entertainers and vendors that were contracted for one service or the other at the wedding of Fatima , the daughter of billionaire businessman, Dangote , went laughing all the way to the bank after the event . However , ace comedian , Atunyota Akpobome , better known as Ali Baba, said he did not charge a dime for his service at the wedding . He had earlier said this on his Instagram page. When Sunday Scoop reached out to him , he restated his earlier position . He said , “ Dangote is my friend and I chose to play a part in the wedding ceremony of his daughter for free . I have done a lot of events for him such as dinners , luncheons , award ceremonies , among other events and I was nicely paid . For instance , if ( former President Olusegun ) Obasanjo , calls me for an event , I would handle the event for free because of my relationship with him . If he then offers me anything out of the abundance of his heart , I would take it . I don ’ t see why anybody should raise eyebrows over my decision. Other comedians were there and they did well . ” On whether he advised his younger colleagues to perform for free too at the classy wedding, Ali Baba said , “ It depends on the kind of relationship each individual has with him . I ’ m not the one to tell anybody what to charge . ” Mentioning lessons he took away from the event , Ali said , “ The major lesson I learnt from that event is that friends always support their friends . ” Meanwhile , the comedian had earlier complained about how daunting it was to control the crowd during the wedding . In a social media post , Ali Baba had said , “ The challenge of being an MC at a state function can be daunting. After dealing with protocol , then come the issues of timing and duration. There seems to be a long journey towards achieving the seeming decorum …” However , when Sunday Scoop asked him how he handled the challenge of ‘ controlling’ the VIPs at the event , Ali simply said , “ I did not get in trouble with anybody ; everything was professionally done . I did my job and I never felt intimidated throughout the event . ” Explaining that he has been in talks with government authorities over the better preservation of the country’ s resources, Ali said , “ I have reached out to some government authorities but I cannot say much about it now because it is still a work in progress. ” On whether he gave the new couple a gift, Ali Baba said , “ I was there and I believe that the best present you can give anybody is your presence . ”
