My TAMPAN suspension, joke of the century — Nkechi Blessing
Nkechi Blessing has described her suspension by the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria as ‘the joke of the century.
TAMPPAN had suspended Blessing and another actor, Kehinde Adams, aka Lege Miami, for fighting dirty on social media over the recent arrest of their colleague, Olanrewaju James, aka Baba Ijesha, who was alleged to have sexually assaulted a minor. film directors, who are members of the association, were directed not to work with both actors until their suspension was lifted.
The Punch recently reported that the actress, when asked how she felt about the suspension, told Sunday Scoop, “I don’t feel anyway. Firstly, an organised association should use proper measures to address a person they describe as their member. Since the letter was ‘delivered’ through a mere Instagram post without calling my phone or sending me an email, I consider it to be the joke of the century.”

And when asked if she would appeal to the association, she maintained her stance saying, “Appease who? For what? What offense did I commit? So, there is no longer freedom of speech? (Imagine them) suspending someone that left them a long time ago.”
