NIGERIA FILM.COM AND MERFOT PROPERTIES ATTEMPT TO RUIN AMBASSADOR LANRE OMIYINKA ( BABA IJESHA) ARTISTIC CAREER THROUGH FALSE AND MALICIOUS ALLEGATION.

The allegations of non performance and going to Ooni of Ife to beg for money written by Hope Efoghe and Blessing Okafor in Nigeria films.com is not only a smear campaign and well organised attempt on the personality and career of this God fearing comedian, one of the best in the Yoruba genre.

If the writer has taken the journalistic route of hearing from the other side (Baba Ijesa) and make attempt to speak with the property company on the allegation he would have a balanced report. First on the allegation of going to His Imperial Majesty Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja the 2^nd Ooni of Ife to beg for money. Here are the facts Ambassador Olarewaju Omiyinka Alias Baba Ijesha was born in Ile Ife and his recognized and highly successful son of Ife through his comedy exploits and has known his Imperial Majesty before Kabiyesi ascended the throne of his fore bearers and acknowledge the brotherly relationship between the Ooni and Baba Ijesha Ambassador Olarenwaju Omiyinka.

It is worthy of note that many programs and humanitarian concert hosted in the palace at Ile-Ife by the Oonrisa Oba Ogunwusi has Baba Ijesha as the M.C in most of this programs Baba Ijesha does this without collecting a dime we acknowledge this.

How then will the same man go to beg for money from the Ooni Adeyeye his brother will like to add that Mr. Olarenwaju Omiyinka aka Baba Ijesha got the Trophy advert while compering one of the Ooni’s program at the palace that the marketing manager of international brewery saw him perform and invited him over for discussion to help advertise the brand known as Trophy and he made a greater impact on the brand through his exploits in the adverts. The Ooni calls him whenever he wants and he responds to the Royal calling of his father the Ooni.

On the allegation of non performance in the MECFOT HOMES & PROPERTIES. It is more of disagreement over monetary aspects of the contract, right from when he made his grand entry in the Yoruba comedy genre with his superlative performances which are lased with laughter that hallmark of a good comedian is to make people laugh.

Lanre Omiyinka (Baba Ijesha) with over 45 films, several programs on radio and television is acknowledge as the most versatile comedian and the best in this time. How them can he (Baba Ijesha) be accused of non performance in a field where he has carved a niche for himself.  Lanre Omiyinka (Baba Ijesha) and MECFOT Property adverts Contract is more of disagreement over contract money payment, with the ARTIST Mr. Lanre Omiyinka aka Baba Ijesha telling them (MECFOT PROPERTY LTD) how much he is going to collect as fees for his appearance in the adverts and the company telling him how much they can afford which does not meet up to his expectation.

Seeing that the agreement didn’t work he ( Lanre Omiyinka) wrote them a letter where he said he ( Lanre Omiyinka ) cannot continue with the contract based on the fact that what is been offered as contract fees was not acceptable to him. The cancellation was peacefully done with the promise of still working together by the two parties, another lesser known artist went there ( Merfot Properties) and collected whatever lesser fees he was offered then the wicked lies against Baba Ijesha started.

Hope Efoghe and Blessing Okafor, Nigeria films.com should note in their campaign of  calumny that the management of the company still gave him an M.C job,  if he was accused  of non performance would he be giving such work by the same company and its directors, who swore with the name of God Almighty that they knew nothing about the wicked article which we understand as an attempt to tarnish the good will, admiration, and superlative career of Mr. Lanre Omiyinka which has enjoyed no controversy except the wicked campaign of calumny we urge Hope Efoghe and Blessing Okafor, Nigerian films.com  to always balance their report by giving fair hearing to the other side instead of publishing  falsehood.
