Good Afternoon Stella and my fellow BVs. This call out is coming from a first hand eye witness "Me".
I am into modelling/ushering, I got a BC from my WhatsApp group that Akpororo needs 50 girls as ushers for his upcoming comedy show on the 17th June. Imagine the excitement of having such an opportunity. The audition time was 4pm, Saturday 9th June at New planet Hotel Okokomaiko. I had to leave my house very early to get there on time.
We got there, filled our names and phone numbers on a sheet of paper, we waited for about 30mins before Akpororo came. Then he announced that he needs girls that are tall, neat and with flat stomach, and if we don't fit the criteria we should leave; nobody sha bulged as e sure for us na.
Interview begins by him calling us girls four in a group and asking repeated questions like; do you have bum shorts and can you wear it? Can you walk and stand on heels for long? Then he asked us to do a 360 turn and return to our seats (He did this for like the first 40 girls till he got tired, he didn't bother to call the rest out they stood Infront of their seats and did the 360).
Then the real drama started, he stood Infront of us with the list of names, the first thing he did was to call out some girls who went to pick him at the airport, he asked them to follow one of his team members to write their names elsewhere that he will see to them (as special people that they are).
My question is; how did this girls know about his coming into town that day and his movement at the airport?
Another drama begins, he started pointing at girls amongst us, some of the Convo went like this
Akpororo: your face looks familiar have you been to any of my auditions before?
Girl: No, I have not but I stay at ......... Street in Okoko here.
Akpororo: Ohhh! Na two streets after my house, no wonder your face look familiar.
Another one too will reply him "yes, I have been to your auditions before but I wasn't picked.
Question please; How is it possible for Akpororo to remember faces of girls who went for previous auditions, someone who sees lots of faces on a daily basis?
He continued like this till he picked 10 girls out of more than 60 of us present. Interesting enough, 6 out of the 10 girls were the ones he somehow recognized. After picking the 10 girls, he told us him not picking us doesn't mean we are not beautiful (of course, we know as we are not new to not being picked some times)
A girl amongst us stood up to him, telling him that if he truly wanted this small number of girls he would have easily gotten them in his community instead of calling for an audition, he didn't reply her as he was busy with his top ten.
Question please; is a celeb not supposed to leave the recruiting of ushers/models to agencies involved to source for them?
The audition started 4pm and ended around 8pm. We were so tired and hungry as many of us came from far places like; Abule-egba, Ikeja, Ojota, etc. Imagine the t.fare spent join. I myself I got home 10pm. Chai Akpororo didn't even offer us a sachet of pure water to cool our thirst.
The one wey come burst our dada for the whole matter be say, as some of us were standing outside the hotel ready to go to our respective homes, we saw three guys sitting adjacent the hotel laughing, one of them walked up to us and said "next time make una no dey come for Akpororo auditions for this place, una no even plenty today, for the other ones dem dey plenty pass today own and na this same hotel him like to use. At the end of the day he no go still pick people as expected. If e come reach the day of the show you go see say na him Church members and Roro Nation crew go be part of them.
I got home and Googled about him and his Roro nation lo' anybody that knows Akpororo knows he has all his own dancers, singers, music group, actors in fact anything performance talk more of ushers.
Another question please; but why will he hold auditions for slots he already has filled up?
It's not fair, it's just not right. Believe it or not but God dey watch all this ojoro wey some so called celebs dey do us.
NB: Another audition is coming up same time; same address today June 11th for the same job. Akpororo but why???

DeleteLOLLLLLL. I REMEMBER THOSE DAYS OF HUSTLING USHERING JOBS AND SPEAKING PLENTY ENGLISH. CHAI! PERSON DON SEEE SOMETHING
ReplyDeleteSome people cannot withstand fame,they loose control,pride sets in and before you know madness
ReplyDeleteI don't even know what to say. Sorry Aunty
ReplyDeleteImagine the dirty thing self!!! nonsense! Meanwhile Stella i go send in my call out soon.
ReplyDeletePls don't remind me of knorr quest teste season 5 audition in ikeja june 2 2018.. i saw shege that day.
ReplyDeleteLOL why are you crying? You feel he shouldn’t have called out for auditions since he already had the people he needed but didn’t he still pick some girls amongst you? Your luck no just shine that day so quit bitching about it. When you go for job interviews, don’t you see the crowd that’s usually present for the post but at the end of the day, only a tiny percent of job seekers are selected. Nobody forced you to go for the audition and he’s not obliged to serve you refreshments lol. Next time when you hear anything Akpo or Roro just don’t attempt it lmao.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh, he has every right to be present at the selection process. He knows the type of babes he’s looking for so obviously he’s be there to ensure they’d be selected.
Shut up. I know u are among the girls that spread legs to collect dic*s for promo jobs. Sleep with all the supervisors to get jobs even when u are out of town they will deprive others nd keep for u. Rubbish
DeleteBe nice dear, the lady is pain just say sorry to her and wish her well..
DeleteThere is something Nigerians don't undertand,you called it an Audition, if you were not picked don't be angry,do you even know what God is keeping away from you,that you went for an Audition is not a guarantee that you will be chosen,yes people remember faces very well,i am one,it's a sacrifice before you are made in life
ReplyDeleteShe is not pain. how will u feel to go for audition and they did not pick from u guys der but one thick madam idiot wey come late fgo pack girls come. Pass una go upstairs becos she knows the person doing the audition. If you know the woman was coming with girls y call for audorion? ?? Wasting people transport? ???
DeleteWe keep saying our leaders are corrupt but we the individuals are worst. Y not treat everyone fairly and pick the best among them than using short cut. They are mad
Dear BV Roseflower, sorry about the hassle you went through. My advice for the future however, is that you google the prospective employer and get as much information about them before you even decide to apply or show up for the interview. Imagine the money and stress you could have saved yourself if you had done that in this situation. Better luck next time dear x
ReplyDeleteLols...what do you expect from a comedian? Everything to him na joke..mesef no fit pay N50 to watch akpororo show. Person wey I funny pass...lol. I prefer our very own MC Pinky!!
ReplyDeleteskywhite na lie... you can't be funnier than akpororo. u hear
DeleteNawaooo gal you sound like you are so pained you weren't pick. Life goes on
ReplyDeleteYou Nigerians will not read to understand. OK let me paint a scenario for u..if you go for interview or audition that says u must study French and u must hv 2.1. Even after u come early!! One idiot go pack some ugly girls come who no sabi speak the French and the worst most are third class!! How will u feel.?????? That's the tin we all face. Y not pick Base on your specifications nd select the best among for all to see??
DeleteMind u. This is not the poster. Am a also a girl that does all these shitty promo jobs.
Hmmmm...i hope he is not a PIMP for politicians? I hope these girls are not used for sexual activities? And you poster, i hope you are not a sore looser? Hope u ain't sending this coz of the bitterness of not being picked? I really don't understand why people go for auditions and expect comfort, feeding and Transport fare, hello? "This is Nigeria" in Falz voice.
ReplyDeleteSexy mum of multiple
My dear I saw the bc oo. I hv hips and flat tummy. But all these people are crazy. After wasting your transport, another idiot go carry some ugly girls come becos of connection. We no blame them na. Na becos of no job. Na so they call one audition! ! Surprise to find out that we were to sleep with a dog for 20k.some end up raping some girls. Some women will call girls to usher and indirectly pimp them to their rich guest. If you no green! ! Next time omo she no go call you again.most of the girls that do thsee promo jobs are graduate! ! But we do it so that we won't beg or go selling our bodies. Town cryer agency is the worst. They will have their girls and call for audition to waste people time. Na God go punish una. GdM agency u go work for them, 4 months they won't pay. Outori is one of d best agency though. Girls be careful and learn skill that letting all these agencis and individuals using our head as them like.
ReplyDeletePlease mention more of these agencies that waste people's time. I've already noted the 3 you mentioned.
DeleteNo mind the stupid man. Stupid man without shame
ReplyDeleteHmmmm.....akpororo oya o
ReplyDeleteI don't understand this her rant.
ReplyDeleteUshering auditions are always so annoying and you re suppose to know somebody that knows somebody in any of the auditions you go for. The selection process, you should be used to it by now if you re really into it. Annoying most times.
Plan well next time Nne and get the right contacts.
You were not picked, simple, its an audition... No vex.
ReplyDeleteI thought u were calling him out for something bad....not knowing that its cos u were not picked.
So what am I suppose to say now? But you know auditions are 50:50 something na. but wait oooh,were u really expecting to be given food in the audition? Kwakwakwakwakwkkwa wake up hanty. No body will give u food in any audition nne. I understand how painful it feels for not being picked especially when u were really looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteStella, you fall hand. Which kind of heading be this? Why even post this kind of yeye rant? Go sleep Roseflower. At the end, e go better. You were not picked doesn’t mean it is the end of the world.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that. But when you're going for any audition endure you have some snacks and drinks with you.
ReplyDeleteIf not for lack of you would have even gone there, blame it on vuhari
ReplyDeleteSo funny....sorry dear,it happens jare...
ReplyDeleteMc pinky
I don't thank that the poster is a sore loser.
ReplyDeleteShe's just angry that the said auction wasn't fair to all.
Well my dear, just dust yourself, better job awaits you.
Comprehension is a big problem for many of you. The writer is not upset becaus she was not picked. But because it wasn't a fair audition. I find it quite funny that the comedian will be personally selecting ushers for his show. Very very funny Lolllll
ReplyDeleteMost comedians are not serious people, jeez new planet hotel that very far close iyana era
ReplyDeleteI just found this hilarious.
ReplyDeleteLike mr comedian doesn't have a manager or member of team to select ushers? He doesn't have something important to use his time with? Wetin concern ushers with 360 degree turn??? Lmaoooo nothing wey person no go hear. Aunty usher please eat very well before you step out for a job. If you go to an interview in a corporate organization, do you go with the intention that they will feed you? The important thing is you get the job.
If you buy a bottle of Pepsi at 100 naira and put it in your bag before you get to the venue or take a bottle of water from home with you, you will not die ok?
