A shameful occurrence transpired between Mavin star, Korede Bello and
the students of the Nigerian Institute of Journalism, Ogba Lagos during
the school’s 5th Annual Students’ week which kicked off yesterday Monday
18th May 2015 at the Institution’s premises.
Korede Bello who
passed out from the institution last year and even performed at last
year's event, was denied an opportunity perform this year by the
students which prompted him go on his knee begging and apologizing over
his offence.
According to the information Splendormag got, Korede
Bello earlier granted an interview with some national newspapers which
was published and he allegedly denied being an ex-student of the school
claiming to have graduated from the University of Lagos (UNILAG).
Some
students of the institution especially his classmates who could talk to
him on social media challenged him for denying his alma mater, in
reply, Korede we learnt insulted them.
The great NIJ began the
one week programme with a musical concert yesterday and surprisingly,
Korede Bello and his manager, Casper who the students described as an
incompetent manager stormed the event uninvited.
At this juncture, the students were very excited because they believed it was their time to also disgrace him.
They
booed him and denied him access to mount the stage to perform at the
show which had Folashade crooner, Adekunle Gold, Shoki crooner Lil Kesh
and many others in attendance.
The young Korede Bello couldn’t
help but went on his kneels to apologize for his ignorance but the
students rejected his apology. It took the intervention of the vice
provost of the institution Mr. Jide Johnson and some other lecturers who
held a close-door meeting with them before he was allowed on stage.
As
if that was not enough, while he was dishing out his stuff, some of the
aggrieved students interrupted his performance as they disconnected the
speakers.
Many of them couldn’t pay attention to his performance.
If
you must know, Korede Bello was a student of the institution when he
was unpopular. He was signed to Mavin Records when he was in National
Diploma 2 at NIJ.
He finished his course in Mass Communication last year.
