Nollywood actor and content creator, Ijoba Lande has asked for mercy after accusing filmmaker Funke Akindele of underpaying him.

In a new video trending on social media, Lande stated that he never intended to harm Akindele’s image and blamed the response on a misleading, edited version of his previous video.

“Please help me. Don’t let me end up in jail. Help me beg Funke Akindele,” he said.

He explained that the original video was misrepresented and that his words were taken out of context.

“The video people are sharing was edited. That’s not how I originally recorded it. I never had any intention to tarnish her image. She didn’t wrong me,” he said.

The comedian added that the amount he mentioned was also misquoted.

“The part where I mentioned 90k was cut and joined. What I actually said was 190k, and I even corrected myself in the full video. It was the cut and joined version that people picked. They didn’t show the full clip.”

He also noted that he spoke about Akindele’s achievements in the video, which were ignored by those who shared the clip.
“We even talked about the great things Funke Akindele has done in the industry.”

Lande also feared legal action from the actress and pleaded with Nigerians to help him avoid a defamation case.

“Please don’t let this ruin my life. What if Funke Akindele sues me, saying I lied that I was paid 190k? Where would I find the money to pay for defamation?”

It was earlier reported that the comedian had claimed in a viral video that he worked for Funke Akindele at Amen Estate for a full month and received only ₦90,000.

He admitted that he didn’t negotiate the payment properly because he was excited to work with her.

Popular comedian and filmmaker, Ayo Makun, also known as AY, has expressed concern over ridiculous service charges by Nigerian commercial banks.
He questioned how Nigerian banks can report trillions of Naira in profits each quarter, even amid a struggling economy.

The actor noted that some of the service fees are peculiar to Nigeria, stressing that they need to be challenged.

On his X handle, AY wrote, “Where do banks get the trillions they declare as profits every quarter, even in a struggling economy? The small charges and debits on our accounts need to be challenged. Many of these fees are unique to Nigeria. Why is that? #BankingFees #Nigeria #Transparency #Shalom”

Popular content creator, Mr Macaroni said those defending the mob killings of 16 travellers in Uromi, Edo State are doing a great disservice to the nation.

He said there is no justification for jungle justice, noting that it must be unanimously condemned.

Mr Macaroni stated this in an X post on Monday.

“Dearest Nigerians, please we must resist the urge to defend evil of any kind.

“Crime is Crime!Whenever we justify crime, we open the door for criminals to keep committing crime.

“We cannot be counting scores with the lives of Nigerians while those that are responsible for safeguarding the lives of the people continue to play politics.

The mobbing and killing of the 16 northern hunters in Edo State is evil just as any previous attack on the lives of Edo people is also evil.

“The killing or destruction of lives and properties of any Nigerian in any state is evil!”

He added, “We have a duty to speak against evil at all times whether it affects us or not lest we lose our humanity.”
