Nigerian Stars Kicked Out Of Hotel After Government Refuses To Pay Them After An Event

Nigerian Stars

 

The Nigerian government over the weekend organized a show for stars from the Ebonyi State origin who have made an immense contribution in the Naija entertainment industry.

Reports indicates that organizers of the event did not fulfill the promises that they made to over 50 stars who turned up at the event; and that led to the ejection of popular musician Terry G, Channel O presenter, Denrele, Nollywood actress, Grace Amah and a host of other stars from their hotel in Abakaliki where they had lodged for the programme.

Cha Cha Ekeh, Grace Amah, Patoranking and other stars who hail from the state were present at the event.

According to Nigerianfilms.com, some of the stars who attended the show were forcefully ejected on Monday from hotel belonging to a prominent politician in the state where they were lodged by the state Ministry of Culture and Tourism, organizers of the event.

The stars were seen at the Government House protesting the shoddy treatment meted out to them.

They said they entered into agreement with the government to be paid a certain amount of money as appearance fee which the state government could not honor.

According to one of the stars, Sholade: “Instead of them giving us our return tickets, our appearance fee; they sent police men to forcefully eject us from our hotel room.”

It was learnt that the two cars whose keys were handed over to Grace Amah and Patoranking at the event, have not been delivered to the stars as the organizers were yet to complete the payment to the suppliers.

In a reaction, the Chairman of the Organizing Committee, Dr. Jerry Uhuo said only four days was approved for the stars which elapsed Sunday night.

He regretted that some of the artists misbehaved including smoking against the stipulated rules in the hotel where they were lodged.
