Why my spirit abandoned me over Tony Elumelu, comedian Bovi reveals

Nigerian comedian, Bovi Ugboma, has taken to social media to share his hilarious experience after his encounter with the Chairman of United Bank for Africa (UBA), Tony Elumelu at a nightclub.

Bovi said he met the billionaire businessman at a club in Lagos last week and went to him to ask the drink he cared for as he plans to pay for the drink.

“I asked “oga what will you like to drink? It’s on me. Anything,” Bovi wrote.

The comedian shared a photo where he was embracing Elumelu at the club via his verified Instagram page @officialbovi.

Bovi said after asking Elumelu to order a drink he started shivering over fears the billionaire may order an expensive drink he could not afford.

“My debit card in my pocket started to run temperature. My bladder was full. My mouth was dry. My blood pressure was up. Instead of me to ask for family sponsorship, I went to ask a billionaire what he wants to drink and he was contemplating it,” he said.

He, however, became relieved when Elumelu ordered a ‘common drink’.

“Ran into @tonyoelumelu in the club last week. Instead of me to just respect myself and greet and pass, I asked “oga what will you like to drink? It’s on me. Anything”.

“I was expecting a swift “no thank you”. The next thing Oga put his fingers on his chin thinking. He looked to the adjacent table where some ladies had a bucket of champagne.

“My spirit ran and left me. Hey God, who send me? This man is about to order the rarest and most vintage bottle; some French name I can’t even pronounce. Something I’ve never heard of.

“All this was like three seconds but it seemed like forever. With a smile, oga turned to me and said: “I will have a $&@;?).” Phew! Normal alcoholic beverage. Mtshewww! Normal beer parlor drink and I almost died for nothing.

“With a loud voice, I shouted “bartender! Bring one crate of @($:&: for my chairman!”Of course, he was going to have only one bottle. But I had to act like I wanted to spend like Fire.”
