Entertainment entrepreneur, Paul Okoye, aka Paulo, has described himself as a bushman.

He says he has been this from the beginning and that he is not a pretending personality.

He notes this in what a satirical response to VeryDarkMan and his supporters after the latter had thrown hard words at Paul O and his lover, actress Iyabo Ojo.

Many believe VeryDarkMan verbally assaulted Iyabo in the course of the fever that marked afrobeats star Davido’s wedding to Chioma.

In response to such an attack,Paulo says he doesn’t care about what people say but rather he is satisfied if people he serves are okay.

His post on Instastory:

‘Is just a loyal customer service.

Over 35 years experience.

What I care for is people I serve.

As far as there ok that’s good for Me.

For Name calling lol.

Your mumu lol your this or your that lol

Popular entertainment entrepreneur, Paul O, is playing the proverbial lizard that jumped down a high iroko tree over the success of ‘Assurance’ singer, Davido.

The lizard says if no one praises him, he will praise himself.

The proverb is among those Chinua Achebe spices his iconic novel, Things Fall Apart, with.

Of course, literary freaks will remember that another proverb from the novel is looking at the king’s mouth, you will think he never sucked his mother’s breast, which also buttresses Paul O’s story.

He has narrated how he helped Davido when things were still dicey for him.

He has to note this after controversial personality, Verydarkman, made uncomplimentary remarks about him and his lover, Iyabo Ojo, during Davido-Chioma wedding festivities last week.

As ‘The Nation’ reports, the talent manager with Paul Okoye as full name, shared a throwback video with Davido, revealing how he tirelessly fought for Davido’s career in the early days.

Despite being rejected six times by a company, Okoye persisted and eventually secured a job for Davido.

He attributed their success to hard work, stating that he wasn’t born with a “golden spoon.”

“Is all about hard work !!! Respect!!! Then Davido have on One song !!! Duro!! I fought for that job for him !! The company says no to me 6x I come back fighting before they say Yes. it is well !!! !!! I’m not born with a golden spoon, it’s just hard work,” he wrote on Instagram.

Davido and his brother, Adewale Adeleke, validated Paulo’s claims in the comment section, with Davido writing “Facts” and Adewale acknowledging Paulo’s significant role in Davido’s career, he wrote: “Yep our first endorsement, MTN was done by you sir. You forever played a major role in David’s story! God bless you”.

Star actress, Iyabo Ojo, has spoken on allegations that she likes bullying people.

She also lamanted the tarnsferred aggression that, she noted, her children were experiencing.

As ‘The Punch’ reports, while starring on the ‘Real Housewives’ of Lagos show, the actress had said that she could bully who she didn’t like.

But in a statement on her Instagram handle on Monday, Iyabo Ojo addressed the drama surrounding her reality TV show, acknowledging that certain actions may have offended some individuals.

She offered a sincere apology for any unintended offense and rejected all forms of bullying, clarifying that she had never bullied anyone in her life.
