The comedian followed up his explanation with an apology to Jim Iyke;

“I’m sorry about it, it wasn’t designed to be detrimental in any way but if you see it that way, bro., I got nothing but love for you…I’m not classless and I know you know that”, he added.

Meanwhile, Helen Paul, who also featured in the skit, said she was called upon to act a script as an actress; that her intention was not to poke fun at Jim Iyke.

“I have lost few jobs because of my line” – Julius Agwu Battles Etisalat

Julius Agwu is obviously mad at one of Nigeria’s telcos, Etisalat – the comedian’s problem is multifaceted, so is better you hear from the horse's mouth.

‘While I was in America to see my new baby, I suddenly realized that my Etisalat line was inactive. I couldn’t receive and make calls. I went to Etisalat office in Hilton to complain and to discover what the problem was.

I was told someone asked the company to swap my line. I got very worried immediately and queried them. How could someone’s line get swapped without the authorization of the owner? Even as the owner of the line, I would issue an authorization letter to effect that. I was worried because I personally registered the line and I told them I want to know the staff that granted the request but they refused.
