Brekete Family host, Ahmed Isah caught in another video slapping a man

Media Personality and human rights activist, Ahmed Isah, also known as Ordinary President, has been seen in another video assaulting a man whom he accused of writing down some names without his permission.

In the video clip which dates back to October 19, 2020, the Brekete Family Host who was visibly angry, was seen interrogating a young man who claimed he was collating the names of people for the Corporate Affairs Commission’s registration.

Isah, in the midst of the interrogation, paused and hit the young man in the face with his right palm.

But as Isah slapped the man, the camera’s focus was immediately shifted elsewhere and did not capture Isah’s facial expression properly or that of the assaulted young man.

At the end of the two-hour-long video, he said, “My apologies to all of you; to everyone watching all over the world, I am but a human being, I got provoked, I got angry because of what happened. I lost control because it had not been long I made an announcement and someone under my nose is doing what I warned against…”

Only weeks ago, there was outrage when Isah was caught on video slapping a woman he was interviewing. The woman, named Susan John, had poured kerosene on her niece’s head and set it on fire over allegations the child is a witch.

While interviewing her on his show, the Ordinary President had asked the woman to explain why the reason for her action but she wasn’t forthcoming with an answer so Isah slapped her twice across the face.

I once thanked a fan who slapped me – Actor, Lateef Adedimeji

Popular Nigerian actor, Lateef Adedimeji, has revealed how he reacted after a fan slapped him out of excitement.

Speaking to Sunday Scoop, the movie star recounted that the female fan who was excited to see him, gave him a slap and although he was initially angry, he ended up thanking her .

In his words; “Out of excitement, a fan suddenly gave me a ‘hot’ slap. She said, ‘Oh my God! Lateef Adedimeji’. I moved back in anger and saw her smiling. I just had to say ‘thank you’. I had smile by force, by fire. Things like that happen. We just have to manage them because they are out of love. We cannot push them away.”

The actor also stated that he always made sure to mix his personal life and career.

He said; “It has not been easy (staying out of drama) because as actors, we lead two lives. Our lives on movie sets are quite different from our lives as normal people. However, a lot of our fans don’t even understand that.

They mix up the two. I like to keep my things private and do things on my own. When it’s time for the public to know what I am doing, they will surely know. It has not been easy but I am someone who likes to be careful. However, despite my carefulness, I still have to go through a lot of things. To an extent, I have been managing things with God on my side.”

Adedimeji, who is noted for speaking Yoruba with an Igbo accent in some films, said he started doing that to stand out from other actors.

While I was at the Olabisi Onabanjo University, I was involved in stand-up comedy but at a point, I left it. However, one day, I had to act with some A-list actors and we were to speak Yoruba. I then asked myself, ‘How would I be able to stand out among them’? I had to speak to the director, asking him if I could speak another ‘version’ of Yoruba. I used the accent and from then on, I had to develop it more”, he said.

The actor also maintained that any celebrity who was not sure of what they stood for could easily be swayed by the expectations of fans.

He added, “If care is not taken and one does not know oneself or what one stands for, one would follow the crowd and lose being oneself. The worst thing in life is for one to lose oneself trying to impress other people. No matter the circumstances, one should always be oneself. Anybody who loves you would stick to you regardless.”
