How Pasuma flew in from Germany to shoot my film, by Mama Ereko

Veteran actress Morenike Alausa Sulaimon aka Mama Ereko, has recounted how Fuji star Wasiu Alabi Pasuma went out of his way to support her movie project despite being outside the country at the time.

Speaking in a recent interview, the actress said she was on set when she learnt that Pasuma, who had 22 scenes in the film, was in Germany at the time of shoot.

To her surprise, she said he returned to Nigeria solely to fulfil his commitment.

According to her, the singer had to make discreet arrangements so those around him would not know he was travelling.

“He came from Germany to deliver his roles for my movie,” she said. “Pasuma knows I love him so much. I had a production where he was to play 22 scenes but he was in Germany. He left his clothes in his house there and bought new ones at the airport so his people wouldn’t know he was traveling.”

Mama Ereko added that Pasuma returned abroad immediately after completing his scenes.

“He came straight from the airport to my set, and after the production he left for Germany again. That’s a day I’ll never forget,” she said, noting with humour that she still owes him N10,000, “but he doesn’t even remember.”
