It is a general knowledge that whenever and wherever one sees a wealthy person in any gathering, the person’s pocket should be smiling.
Rather, we can tell you for free that the reverse was the case for famous comedian, Abovi Ugboma, popularly known as Bovi as he ran into money bag, Chairman of United Bank for Africa Plc. and Heirs Holdings, Tony Elumelu at a club over the weekend.
Interestingly, instead of the comedian to ask for sponsorship, he went to ask the billionaire what he would like to drink. Guess what happened to him afterwards?
The comedian narrated via his Instagram page. He wrote; “Ran into Tony Elumelu in the club last week. Instead of me to just respect myself and greet and pass, I asked “oga what will you like to drink? It’s on me. Anything”. I was expecting a swift “no thank you”.”
“The next thing Oga put his fingers on his chin thinking. He looked to the adjacent table where some ladies had a bucket of champagne. My spirit ran and left me. Hey God, who send me?”
“This man is about to order the rarest and most vintage bottle; some French name I can’t even pronounce. Something I’ve never heard of. My debit card in my pocket started to run temperature. My bladder was full. My mouth was dry. My blood pressure was up.”
“Instead of me to ask for family sponsorship, I went to ask a billionaire what he wants to drink and he was contemplating it. All this was like three seconds but it seemed like forever. With a smile oga turned to me and said “I will have a $&@;?).” Phew!”
“Normal alcoholic beverage. Mtshewww! Normal beer parlor drink and I almost died for nothing. With a loud voice I shouted “bartender! Bring one crate of @($:&: for my chairman!”Of course he was going to have only one bottle. But I had to act like I wanted to spend like Fire.”
