Why I Was Banned From Entering America – Bovi

Nigerian comedian and actor, Bovi Ugboma has opened up on why he cannot enter America.
According to him, he was banned from entering the United States due to his infamous clash with a visa-issuing officer at the American embassy.
Speaking during an Instagram live session with his fans at the weekend, Bovi expressed his disappointment at the way the incident was blown out of proportion by the media.
The Delta State-born comedian revealed that the visa officer he met at the embassy was very unfriendly, but he did not provide specific details of what transpired between them.
He stated that he was embarrassed when the story was amplified in the media and wondered how anyone could gain access to a visa officer since they are protected by a glass wall.
Recalling the incident, Bovi said he only asked the officer how many visas he had obtained in the last ten years, considering he had always had two American visas in that period.
However, the officer reportedly replied, “There is a new sheriff in town,” before pushing back Bovi’s passport and that of his wife.
 
“The way everything went, it escalated in the media. They started to have different versions of the story,” he said.
The popular comedian also spoke about his strained relationship with his father while growing up and revealed that he was determined to raise his own kids differently.
“I don’t want to raise my kids the way I grew up under my old man, so I am trying to be different,” he added.

Why I Quit Banking Job For BBNaija – Tobi Bakre

BBNaija Season 3 housemate and actor, Tobi Bakre has opened up on why he left his banking job in 2018 to take part in the reality show.

He had worked as a currency dealer at Heritage Bank for four years but decided to resign as he found the job monotonous.

Tobi made this revelation during his appearance on the Menisms’ audiovisual podcast hosted by Olumurewa and Michael Sonariwo.

“My personality when I’m doing the same thing over and over it tends to get boring. At that time I was still young. I think I was 22 at that time. So, I said ‘okay I have always wanted to go on this show [Big Brother Naija], and I’m tired of this [banking] job.

So, it was either I start processing my japa [Visa] to Canada or I can go for [BBNaija]. And then it was more like you can go for this thing [BBNaija] and then come back and process your Canada [Visa] and whatever life brings.

“I was just really tired of where I was. So, I was like okay let me take a chance on this [BBNaija]. So, we went for Big Brother and then I didn’t really think after Big Brother this is what I want to do, that is what I want to do.

I was just like okay, in case anything should come up, I got like management, someone I respected and trusted. And I was like ‘please o, whatever it’s I’m doing there [Big Brother house], plz make sure there’s value to be gotten when I get out’.”

“Because I didn’t win, a lot of fans, people have sent money to my account. Sorry guys, I’m just confessing for the first time. I entered the bank with like nothing.

I remember myself and one of my friends, Adamu, that December because life was tough, we were like ‘let’s just spend all our money and enjoy ourselves’. And this is what we did. We were clubbing, we were partying, we spent all the money.

So there was really no money in January. I just got out [of Big Brother house] and I saw like N800 and something thousand in my account. So I [used it] got an iPhone. But then, I was ready to do the work. I think the rest is history,”
