"There was this day I was travelling to Abuja to shoot a movie and I got
into the aircraft and met this woman, she was older than my mother. As I
made to put my bag in the overhead compartment, I greeted her but she
didn't answer me. I just ignored her and sat down. On arrival in Abuja,
the woman was struggling to get her luggage from the compartment and I
just stretched my hand and helped her to get it. She asked for it
without a thank you but I refused to
give it to her, offering to
help her take it down. On getting out of the aircraft, she again
requested for her luggage but I said, madam I'll take it to the arrival
hall for you and she looked at me with bewilderment."
"When we
got to the arrival hall I turned to the woman and handed her luggage to
her and as I made to leave, she called me by my name. I was surprised
and retorted, so madam you even know my name. But why did you not answer
me when I greeted you on board the aircraft. She then said, "Mike, I've
come across a lot of your Nollywood mates and they seem to be pigheaded
so that is why I always want to distant myself from them." I just
smiled and told her I'm not like that."
She asked where I was
going and I felt she wanted me to ride with her into town. I told her I
was in Abuja to shoot a movie. I then turned to leave but some four or
five policemen who must have come to pick her told me to wait. I said
what's my own, I've helped her to this place and I want to go. They
however insisted that I should wait. I didn't really know who the woman
was but the long and short of it all was that she ended up giving me
three plots of land in Abuja."
