Morenike Sulaimon, veteran actress better known as Mama
Ereko, has cursed Jamiu Azeez over claims by the actor that she stole the
storyline for ‘Oko Ramota’, his forthcoming movie.
On Saturday, Azeez took to his Instagram page to share an
emotional video wherein he alleged efforts by Mama Ereko to steal his concepts.
The film star based his argument on Mama Ereko’s choice of
Aunty Ramota, an Instagram sensation — who featured in his yet-to-be-released
project — for her own forthcoming movie.
“This past few weeks had been difficult for me. I have cried
till I got an eyesore. I don’t know why people envy the success of their fellow
humans. I have produced a lot of movies but the latest film titled ‘Oko Ramota’
is the loudest of all. I put all efforts In order to publicize the movie,” he
said.
Azeez also explained that he invested a lot into producing
the forthcoming project including selling his land.
“I fought a lot of battles to ensure the success of this
film. I sold my land because of this movie. I had to borrow money from unlikely
people. Unfortunately, you produced the concept, invited Aunty Ramota for the
production of the same movie,” he added.
“You gathered the concept from the clips and snippets I
posted on social media and wrote a story about around It. My Industry people,
have mercy on me. Don’t spoil my efforts.”
But reacting on Sunday in a video shared on the same
platform, Mama Ereko dismissed the allegation against her while she also cursed
Azeez for accusing him of such.
The 70-year-old said although she had the intention of also
featuring Aunty Ramota in her movie titled ‘Ile Imo’, the shooting has not
commenced.
Ereko said she had earlier reached out to Azeez to curse
those attempting to sabotage his efforts after his video went viral not knowing
she was the one being accused.
“If indeed I stole ‘Oko Ramota’s concept, may l not succeed
in whatever I lay my hands on. But if that’s not the case, yet he keeps
tarnishing my name, God will destroy him from this earth to heaven. Are you
mad? I so much love you but now you’ve disappointed me,” she said.
So far the president of TAMPAN, Mr Latin, has waded into the situation and he has ended the rift.
The 54-year-old actor shared a video of himself, Azeez and
actor Sisi Quadir explaining that the situation has been clarified in an
Instagram post on Monday. He said Azeez and Mama Ereko had a misunderstanding
and they have settled it.
Jamiu also reposted the video and thanked Mr Latin for his
intervention.
“Thank u so much daddy,” he wrote.
