My nightclubs are the least of what I do — Sir Uyi fires back at Vaniti critics

Sir Uyi

The Chief Executive Officer of Vaniti Lagos, Uyi Ogbebor, has warned critics of his nightclub to steer clear, as he may be forced to show his might if pushed to the wall.

Ogbebor, popularly known as Sir Uyi, made the remarks in a post shared on his official Instagram handle, @sir_uyi, while reacting to allegations that his nightclub sells fake drinks.

He described the claims as unfounded while highlighting the scale of his business operations.

Reacting to the controversy, he wrote: “Sometimes these people need a reminder. My humility is because I know where I came from, and I definitely know where I’m going. I don’t score cheap gains for peanuts. I grind every day and night for a good life.”

He further highlighted his business impact, stating, “I employ over 1,300 Nigerians across my businesses. Employing over 1,300 people is no small thing. That’s 1,300 families with income, with stability. That’s real impact, and it speaks louder than any MOPOL convoy or paparazzi moment ever could.”

Downplaying the focus on his nightclub operations, Ogbebor added, “My nightclubs are the least of what I do. I no small, o. Na when you try me, you go know who I be. Leave me alone, let me face my business. I be Benin man wey sabi.”

Meanwhile, his media team has cautioned those trying to dent his clean business record, clarifying that Uyi has always been apolitical and has at no point delved into politics, blaming the recent development on politics.

They also warned those targeting Vaniti and other businesses owned by Sir Uyi, because of his silence and refusal to align with any political divide, to tread with caution, stating that they cannot stay idle and watch his efforts of many years go to waste.
