As the public continue to condemn Tope Alabi's comment on the music, Oniduro mi sang by Adeyinka Alaseyori , another popular artiste, Rotimi Onimole a.k.a Oba Ara has stepped out to tell the world the humiliations he suffered in the hands of Alabi years ago.
Oba Ara recalled that Evangelist Tope Alabi was one of the guests artists he invited to perform at
his yearly Power In Praise Concert, seven years ago, at Cele Praying Ground,
Ikosi-Ketu, Lagos.
Prior to the event, he said he has paid her the requirements fee and her
management assured me of her presence at the program. "She eventually arrived
around 2am while other celebrity gospel artists like Evangelist Lanre Teriba
Atorise, Evangelist Dare Melody and host of others were already on ground.
"As my usual behavior and as I was trained by my parents, it has
become a norm for me to give respect to those who are older than myself, even
those I'm older than. That was exactly what I did that day, I gave her a well
deserved respect and honour.
"But to my highest surprise, when Tope Alabi mounted the stage to
perform, the very first thing she said to me and I quote ' If you see this guy
prostrating to me before all of you, I don't know him from Adam, today is the
first time I'm seeing him, I don't know him before'.
"I almost collapsed and it seems like the ground would open and
swallow me. I had never been so humiliated in my life such as what I
experienced on that faithful day. I managed to put myself together and
pretended as nothing happened, but inside me I was not really happy.
"Little did I know that my humiliation has just started. she did
the worst thing when she was about to start her ministration. As she set her
eyes on the camera that we intended using to cover her performance, she
said another one and I quote 'Please, don't capture my performance with
camera,, that was not included in our agreement, we don't become friends after
meeting in the court'. I quickly told my crew to put off the camera and she
performed without allowing us to have her on tape.
"And since then she always snubbed me whenever I greet her at
event, I always did that to justify my calling as minister of God.
"Those two behaviours of Aunty Tope made me lose my love for
her and since then I began to have different perception about her. I see her as
'Akuko gagara ti ko fe ki kekere ko' (A well grown cock that does not want the
little chicken crows) and with this utterance and comment on Oniduuro mi it has
proved again that Aunty Tope is great onilara and akuko gagara."
In a bid to get Tope Alabi's side of the story, a message was sent to her hubby's number, Mr. Soji Alabi, via whatsapp, but no response came from them.
