The showbiz industry with the curious exception of one particular
person practically relocated to Benin, capital of Edo State for the
engagement ceremony between the duo of Gbenro Ajibade and Osas Ighodaro last weekend.
Present at the very colourful ceremony were a cross section of
celebrities drawn from nollywood as well as comedy and music industry.
But the absence of the groom’s best buddy, Uti Nwachukwu is still being talked about in showbiz circuit.
You see, Uti and Gbenro are often confused for each other because of
their striking resemblance…they have also carved a reputation as one of the
few celebrity Best Friends Forever (BFF) in the industry.
So you could imagine our surprise when he failed to show up in Benin last weekend.
When asked about his absence from the ceremony by Reporters on
Wednesday at the Industry Night gig celebrity JJC, Uti’s reaction was
dramatic. Infuriated by the question, he sarcastically queried to his
questioner, “‘what happened in Benin?”
The break down of communication between Gbenro and Uti was not hidden
to some in the industry but the latter’s absence at the wedding
ceremony further accentuated the difference between the two friends.
Although the cause of the bitter feud is not known however, Uti was
spotted in April with the couple at AY Live. Their feud may be
unconnected to the friendship triangle that also include actor, Alexx
Ekubo who was also absent from the wedding.
Oh by the way, ExpressNG reports that the former BBA star is likely to miss the July 4th white-wedding scheduled for New York.
