Taaooma
A Nigerian filmmaker who accused popular Instagram comedian, Taaoma of collecting N1.5million for a job not properly done has retracted his statement.
In a post that went viral on social media few days ago, the filmmaker accused the skit maker of collecting a sum of N1.5million from him to do a job, which she failed to deliver accordingly.
In a new tweet, the filmmaker identified as Ola Owolabi apologised by sharing a statement where he made known publicly that he never had any business transactions with the sensational Instagram comedian.
He Wrote:
"WITHOUT PREJUDICE”
Paid Taaoma 1.5m. She shot video and the client doesn’t like the work done. And her position is TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. We are not asking for a full refund, but at least a sense of concession will go a long way. 1.5m gone like that. And you guys wonder how Maraji fell off? For those of you asking “what did Maraji do?” Maraji didn’t do anything in this situation and she’s a fantastic story teller."
However, ask anyone who has worked with her and her team, she’s not the easiest person to work with. Hence, the reason for the honest comparison.”
The above statement was made on my twitter handle and I wish to use this medium to retract the same in respect to Miss. Apaokagi (Otaaooma). I wish to state that I have not had any personal/direct business transaction with Miss. Apaokagi (Otaaooma).
From what I have experienced since the said statement, I have now realised that I did not consider all the ramifications before making such statement.
The statement was pulled down from my Twitter handle almost immediately. Please note that I did not intend to bring @taaooma’s reputation into any form of disrepute.
I sincerely apologise and regret any inconveniences this might have caused @taaooma. Thank you.
Ola Owolabi”
