Sensational comedian Maryam Apaokagi also known as Taaooma has responded to the allegations leveled against her on social media by a filmmaker identified as @olaondeck over a N1.5 million skit.
The filmmaker in a post shared on his Twitter page, claimed Taaooma charged his client the sum of N1.5 million for a video that didn’t meet the expectations of the client.
“She shot video and the client doesn’t like the work done. And her position is take it or leave,” his tweet read in part.
@olaondeck went on to note that he is not demanding a refund of the N1.5 million but at least expected a sense of concession from the comic star. In a different tweet, the filmmaker also made a reference to comedian Maraji, claiming that she and her team members are difficult to work with.

“Maraji didn’t do anything in this situation and she is a fantastic storyteller. However, ask anyone who has worked with her and her team, she’s not the easiest person to work with. Hence the reason for the honest comparison.”
Responding to the allegations, the comedian’s management, The Greenade Company, issued a statement via Twitter dismissing the claims made by the filmmaker.
“Taaooma and management never had any communications or business dealings whatsoever with this person. He is alien to us until these false tweets today. Over the years, Taaooma have proven herself to be steadfast in her dealings and bring to her large fans nothing but the best comedy thereby bringing to most, joy and happiness through her craft, the statement read in part.”
As at the time of compiling this report, the statement has been removed from the Twitter page of the management company.
