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.
