Over three months ago, Monalisa Chinda’s publicist Egor Efiok wrote
an open letter in defense of her client’s new man (Lanre Nzeribe) after
so much hullabaloo about their relationship. In the letter, Egor used
Oge as an example of celebrities who had been under pressure and
literally said “you made Oge Okoye hypertensive with your bullying.” Not long after the letter went public, some fans began getting concerned for Oge Okoye and has been questioned over and over again about her health status.
But that is far from the reality as Oge is in very good health and
Egor only meant to say “hypertensive bullying” in the literal sense.
In a an interview she granted over the weekend, she Egor clarified the exact statement she made to that effect:
There was an uproar about a letter you wrote and I would like
you to explain a few issues. People were annoyed about you revealing
Oge Okoye’s medical history. Can you clarify that?
Well, about that, I must admit that I can be over emotional and
spontaneous. If I’d given myself 24 hours to think carefully about it, I
wouldn’t have
written it. My problem is that im precocious and often times, I find
myself ignoring people when the don’t get me, as it’s too much of an
effort to explain.
Anyone that really knows English and understands the difference between
nouns, verbs, adjectives etc would know that I did no such thing. A lot
of people say stuff like “excuse my left” when the correct term is
“permit my left.” They’s use words like ‘peak’ when referring to humans
instead of ‘pique’ because they have no clue that the former is a verb
and you only use verbs with object and the latter is a noun which can
only be used with humans. They use tautology a lot too and would promise
people ‘free gifts’ in competitions when both words mean the same
thing.
My exact words were “you made Oge Okoye hypertensive with your bullying.” I never said Oge had been diagnosed with hypertension.
When they started saying that I revealed Oge’s medical history, I just
shook my head. Everyone can get hypertensive or develop high pressure as
a result of anxiety and normally lots of rest would rectify it. It
doesn’t mean that they have the condition.
