When is Fashola Babatunde absolutely not Babatunde Fashola?  When, Hardball guesses, commerce goes awry!

That is the drama of the absurd oozing from the latest COVID-19 season howler, involving controversial musician and unfazed bohemian, Azeez Fashola aka Naira Marley.

The first trouble was the Funke Akindele early COVID-19 lockdown excitement, that fetched the beloved “Jennifer” of the comedy screens a court conviction.

Funke had decided to treat her beloved hubby to a birthday bash.  It was a lovey-dovey domestic stuff of enduring matrimonial tryst, at their highbrow Amen Estate, Ibeju Lekki, Lagos home.

Well, things got frightfully awry when Naira Marley and “ECOMOG” reportedly stormed the party; and someone somewhere was reckless enough to upload the fun-making band — social distancing be damned! — on cyberspace, to the ire of cyber-denizens.

Funke and hubby got convicted.  So too was Naira Marley had a negotiated settlement.

Some three months later comes the next howler, but now in Abuja, not Lagos.  A private executive flight had booked one “Fashola Babatunde”, which the embattled airline claimed it thought was “the” Babatunde Fashola, former governor of Lagos and sitting Works and Housing minister.

Well, it turned out “Fashola Babatunde” was no more than the travel name for Naira Marley, whose surname is Fashola, but his first name is Azeez.

There are claims that the “Fashola Babatunde” was actually a Naira Marley sibling.  Now, why was that name used?  Was it to game the airline, to mistake the person for the minister, and therefore facilitate approval, since normal shuttle flights are suspended?
