‘I Was Once A Bus Conductor’ – Joseph Benjamin Shares His Story

Joseph benjamin

A few years back, he might have asked you for money in the bus and you would have handed it to  him with disdain on your face, careful not to let your fingers touch. Today Kogi state native, Joseph Benjamin, former conductor, waiter and security guard turned actor and presenter shares his story with us.
Screen darling Joseph Benjamin had such a hard time on his journey to stardom. The actor and presenter spoke with Wana Udobang on Inspiration FM ’s show ‘Talk About It’ yesterday and chronicled his life story. The actor was not afraid to speak about it too. This story set off a storm on twitter of people who were inspired by his life story. In his words, “I’ve moved from being a bus conductor, security guard, waiter, worked in a Bakery, sold shoes at Balogun; then moved into IT before acting.”
Hard work does pay and Joseph  Benjamin is testament to that fact!

Kollertunz Records has parted was with ‘Low Key‘ singer, Flowssick . Kolawole Olugboyega, CEO of the record label disclosed that the contract was terminated due to ‘unresolved issues’.
The press release reads thus: “The management of Kollertunz Records would like to officially inform the general public of the termination of its management and working relationship with Abiola David Aina also known as “Flowssick” over protracted contract issues.
“Our organization took this decision in the face of unresolved and complex negotiations which had been one sided with little consideration for the part of the label after years of investment and long working hours done for the establishment of our former artiste.
“We would like to state henceforth that we have no formal business relationship with Flowssick and that he can be reached by any means he chooses to. We trust that the management of Flowssick will observe their pledge they made to the label”
This is the first break up in 2013 and we have one question for both parties: What next???
