A lady identified as Egor Efik has advised Nigerians to boycott a new taxi service called Mr Taxi. This according to her is simply because of the way the owner of the business disgraced Nollywood actor Jim Iyke in public.
The owner had claimed that Jim Iyke who was highered as a brand ambassador was going about parading himself as the owner.
Reacting to the sack of Jim Iyke by the company, Egor Efik wrote:
This Mr Taxi App Austin is a big MUMU and I urge all Nigerians to boycott his service and use Ubi Franklin’s own, Taxify or Uber instead.
After using Jim Iyke’s name and brand to garner publicity, he is now calling Jim Iyke out as an impostor. In the same breath, he also quips, “Jim Iyke is my friend”. With friends like him, who needs enemies? If it weren’t for Jim Iyke, I would never have heard of Mr Taxi App.
He now claims that Jim was only hired as a brand ambassador and then started asking to be a shareholder. So what if he asked to be a shareholder? Is he not a businessman?
Jim has several other businesses and does not need his ponkious Mr Taxi App. He was only helping out a friend and now this is the thanks he gets in return. It is just the same way a filmmaker decides to front Idris Elba or any other big celebrity as producer because they know that these celebrities would pull massive crowd and returns.
I am certain that this is what this ingrate of a man agreed with Jim and then suddenly became jealous, as Jim stole the show. He is not a proper businessman and just shot himself in the foot.
If celebrities refuse to help people, they will be labelled as snobs etc…would you blame them after encountering ingrates like this Austin man?
I repeat, Nigerian celebrities, please if you have loyalty towards your colleague, Jim Iyke, boycott this Mr Taxi App service. Let us see how successful his business will be after running down another man who tried to help him. Rubbish!!!
