My
two eyes never deceive me anytime, they are very accurate. That
beautiful afternoon, just passing by along a street in Lagos State, the
Vice Chancellor of Entertainment, Alhaji Abass Akande Obesere, was
sighted with a tea container dishing out for people to buy.
He
walked through the streets advertising his wares to attract patronizers
and many people were surprised seeing him in such a condition. We
looked around, it was not a Nollywood shoot, then we began to wonder.
To
many people's surprise, a man came from nowhere and said: 'Cut! Cut!
Good job Papa'. Everybody hissed but stayed glued waiting for the next
scene. We were later told an Islamic artiste had featured Alhaji Obesere
in a song and the visuals were just being shot.
Speaking
to us, Obesere said he only acted according to the director and nothing
else. "I did what the director asked me to do and nothing else. People
actually thought I had turned a tea-seller and were saying is that not
Papa selling tea, no he is not ? Let's go and buy," he said.
