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 on his official Instagram handle, @sir_uyi, in response 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 stems from knowing where I came from and 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 and 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’ll 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, and that the recent development is not political.

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 remain idle and watch his many years of effort go to waste.
