Comedian Julius Agwu is lamenting about his current situation – he is trapped in the US, no thanks to Jimoh Ibrahim and the recently defunt Air Nigeria.
Agwu says he flew with Air Nigeria from Nigeria to London for his ‘Crack Ya Ribs‘ show which
was held on August 26, 2012 at the plush Lighthouse Hall, Camberwell
but cannot return to Nigeria now because the airline has abruptly shut
down services.
The owner of the airline, Jimoh Ibrahim,
had on Wednesday, September 5, 2012 announced a one-year suspension of
all activities of the airline and terminated the employment of all its
staff, sparing only 50.
The usually lively comedian took to micro-blogging website Twitter to complain bitterly;
Is it a Crime to support nigerian
bizness, we flew AirNig to Lond, now we can’t return cos
#JimohIbrahimOFR ordered a closure GEJ #WHY?☹’, @JuliusAgwu1 tweeted.
‘#JimohIbrahimOFR #JimohIbrahimOFR #JimohIbrahimOFR #JimohIbrahimOFR #JimohIbrahimOFR GEJ#WHY?????’, he continued
Agwu then asked for the suspension to commence after his return to the country. ‘#JimohIbrahimOFR… Postpone ur closure until after our return o!!!! #NaijaBizness‘.
The on-going ‘Crack Ya Ribs’ show is
however going on smoothly; after staging concerts in London and New
York, Agwu and his crew will be going live on stage in Houston on
Saturday, September 8, 2012.
