"WHY I LEFT PORT HARCOURT"

Ok,
I know a lot of you are eager to hear/read 99 reasons why The Commissioner for Disturbance who took it upon himself to Disturb PHcity (positively) had to leave the same Port Harcourt he claimed to love. Right?

Well, here is the thing; I never left, I also didn't plan leaving anytime soon, but then, the hustle is real.
The truth is, we grow up everyday (whether in age or in real growth - be it negative or positive). I've grown to understand some certain things that I would love to share (shallowly)

  1. I am not a Port Harcourt/Rivers Boy, because I was born or raised in Port Harcourt/Rivers State. I am a Port Harcourt/Rivers Boy because Port Harcourt/Rivers lives inside of me.

  2. The idea was never to remain in Port Harcourt. The idea was to grow in Port Harcourt (Made in PH) and explore the beyond/yonder. Well, true, I have not really grown, but then, to some extent, I think I can build on the foundation I have been able to lay.

  3. I came for the Entertainers, but it seem my kind of brand is yet to be understood. It could be that I wasn't clear enough or the people need more conviction, so I needed to take some time off and restructure.

  4. Port Harcourt, overtime, has grown to become too noisy that it is beginning to affect productivity. The city (land) itself has been polluted with too many activities (from Religious organisations. force men on careless duties to marketers and ranters). Coming back to the online world, the Entertainers here talk like tomorrow is rapture. So, I needed some time to cool off (like Burna Boy's BET absence)

  5. Finally, I didn't leave Port Harcourt. I only left my comfort zone to go "Hustle" and make some "real cash" from People who understand "how to appreciate and compensate value and services rendered"

THE REAL GIST: I left to go look for money! To be honestly and Realistically sincere; "Free work", "Team work", "Baba Help me Grow", "Commissioner send me your logo", "Baba support your boy", "Bros, nothing dey oh, but I need you on this one", "Make we grow together", "Show your boy love", "Carry me Along" and all of them don tire me!!!

Wetin happen sef?

I DON TIRE!!!

My people,
I offer free services so tey, I come dey popular (my name popular pass my face), but deep within me I dey die of hunger. Now, offering the free services was never an issue to me, but then, the people whom these services were being rendered to kind of feel it's their right. Like, the entitlement mentality dey shock me.

I was recently blocked (on all social media platforms) by an Award Organizer. Why? Because I kind of withdrew my support for his brand (whose methods are against my personality). This is the same fellow that I had to go all out to support his brand and make sure his Award show took place - when everyone was laughing at him for starting what he couldn't finish. Truth is, I had the intention of still supporting him, but I wasn't chanced, so he took offense. I for kill myself give am abi?

The above is just one picture, I have encountered several of them. Abi na the ones wey you go do the job finish, to pay you go come become problem? Others go begin beg you sey nothing dey - after negotiating with you oh.

So, I decided to leave both the city and the Entertainment industry to a different City and Industry. So far, God has been faithful!

To my friends our there and here, wey dey carry PH Entertainers matter for head, see, make una wise up oh. Some of them will tell you "You are the best! If I have money today, I will hire you to do this and that. In fact, you are the face of this brand, without you I don't know what I would have done.."

Guy/oh Babe, wise up oh. na dem!

Just take a week break and see what will happen. Do you really believe that your absence will cause any harm to their brand? Same persons that were singing your praises will get somebody else sharp sharp.

The thing is, they will use you, reuse you, abuse you and then, abandon you (when dem don see you finish) and go hire someone else. When you talk, dem go brand you as "family member". Yes na.. dem go talk sey you be family member, make we leave this one for outsiders to benefit. RABBISH & ABACHA!

I just wish, this was a video clip, I would have emptied so much so you guys can know the kind of people you are dealing with. Port Harcourt is full of vampires! Vampires waiting to suck you dry - with praises, while getting their raises.

The Small guys wants you for free... The Big guys also wants you for free... Wetin happen?

So, my dear Mr & Mrs. Supporter, I write this last note to you; "No go do pass yourself. Use your head. Ignore this cry of dem no dey pay us for shows and all that. You no send anybody work. If dem need you, make dem pay you. Otherwise, one day, your mama and papa go tire for you - when dem dey see sey you always dey busy, but then, nothing dey come out from your pocket. Take this from someone who has experienced this"

IN CONCLUSION: "If your current state/Location cannot change you, change your state/location" - OPM

S/O to people like Dalvin, JKL, Pastor Hope and few others who know how to appreciate (either in cash or referrals)

NB: It's not all about the money tho', but money is needed to do the job (and do it well)
