“It was during our first tenure of three years that we achieved the free three square meal in the canteen which started in Apapa plant and spread to other plants.

” Because I was strict in decision making, the then management of coca cola invited me to cooperate with them while promising me promotion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“I vividly told them that if my promotion will come by merit I will accept but if it’s because of the union activities that I don’t need it, and at the end I was not promoted.

“My subordinate who happened to be a junior staff under me as a cleaner was promoted into the position of supervisor and was receiving the salary of a supervisor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“To be honest, as a human being I had to resign from Coca – cola, threw in the towel from the union activities and continued to serve my God.

” Although, for the seven years that I was the union chairman everyone felt my impact and everybody was happy,” he added.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Elder Johnson Ogungbemi,a civil servant described Afolabi as an enigma and a courageous fighter, who always stood for the truth.

“I have followed him right from the youth station in my church, he is a disciplinarian, cares for everyone and want people around him to be happy”.

 

 

 

 

 

A resident, who gave her name as Mrs Wale Akinboswale said Afolabi is an exceptional and a wonderful father.

“I have known him for the past 10years now, he makes sure people around him have equal share in whatever he has no matter how little it is .

 

 

 

 

 

“He is a vibrant person who will go out for what he believes in, he lives very simple, always there at any point in time to help.

“I pray that almighty God will give him more years, peace and keep him in good health”, she added.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mrs Oluwaranti Majofojodu, Mr Afolabi’s daughter gave God the glory for sustaining her father’s life.

According to her, ‘my dad has faced many challenges in life, many attacks, enemies wanted to cut his life short but today it’s the Lord’s doing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Though, when God says yes nobody can say no, it’s only God that gives life, as a human you can only try but all power belong to God, I wish him 80,90 years and more in Jesus name, she added.

Nollywood Legends Face Backlash Over Boat Ride to Movie Set, Fans Fear for Their Safety

Nollywood Legends Face Backlash Over Boat Ride to Movie Set, Fans Fear for Their Safety

 

A video featuring Nollywood icons Pete Edochie, Nkem Owoh, and Patience Ozokwor being ferried across a body of water to a movie set has ignited a storm of reactions online, with fans expressing deep concerns over the actors’ safety.

 

The clip, which shows the trio being transported by boat, has sparked a heated debate, with many drawing comparisons to the tragic boat accident that claimed the life of late actor Junior Pope while on his way to a film shoot. Fans are now questioning whether it was wise to transport the legends in such a manner, fearing a similar fate could befall them.

 

One user, Emotionsdoctor, expressed a strong warning, saying: “I am going to hold your hands and warn you, darling, Never pack our legends in one boat like you did here. Let this be the last time, my love.”

 

Social media reactions were filled with both humor and worry. @AdannaPapaya joked, “Daddy Pete no wear vest because even the sea is afraid of him 🤭🤭🤭🤭,” while @promiseEzeocha voiced his confusion, “Why is Chief Pete Edochie not wearing a safeguard? I don’t understand. Is that not risky, sir?”

 

Some comments were more serious, with @Honyfactory urging the authorities to provide safer transportation options, stating: “Abeg, u guys should not be packing up our legends on a boat and risk them like this again. This deal must be very heavy for them to be taking this kind of risk. The state government should provide a chopper for them, please. These people are too valuable to be on water like this.”

 

In a lighter vein, @chinexo8 remarked on Pete Edochie’s calm demeanor, saying, “Pete Edochie is always chewing kolanut, ah ah, he didn’t even wear a life jacket. Man with the water spirit are in good terms.”

 

While the comments showcased a mix of concern and humor, one thing was clear: Nollywood fans are deeply invested in the well-being of their beloved stars. As the video continues to circulate, it remains to be seen whether the film industry will take a closer look at the safety protocols for its actors, especially when it comes to potentially risky travel arrangements.

 

Fans are hopeful that future film productions will prioritize the safety of these icons, who have shaped the Nollywood industry for decades.
