'Chika Ike's manager fires back at Charles Novia after he calls her obtuse

In an article titled 'Of Flavour's flaunt, Yachting holidays and Range Rovers", which he posted on his blog yesterday, Nollywood producer and director called Chika's Ike manager, Serah Donald, obtuse, meaning dull, not sharp!. Below is what Charles wrote about Chika Ike's recent yacht trip and Serah...

"It all boils down to my point. And by the way, that picture I saw of the yacht is suspect. The damned thing looked like a cruise boat which the obtuse PA might have mistaken for a yacht though. Anyway, my point is, in this clime we live in, our so-called celebrities, coming from a background of social, material and emotional deprivation just have to force the public to know that they have arrived. So, a boat trip, a helicopter ride, a breakfast in a 3 star hotel lobby and a personal scratch on the ass must make the news at all costs’

I find these things a little funny and difficult to believe because I feel there's another possible explanation for it...or maybe its just the season of witches in Nigeria?

According to eyewitnesses, a naked woman/witch was seen stranded on the roof of a church, the All Christian Fellowship church, just before Kubwa village market around 6:30 this morning. A large crowd of course gathered and managed to bring her down. When she was brought down, they said she was naked, wretched looking, unkempt hair, skinny and was talking non stop. A few people in the crowd recognized her as an akara seller in the area.

They dragged her to the Kubwa Phase 4 police station where she's currently being detained. You can see the figure on the roof in the pic above...
