AGBANI DAREGO GOES GAGA...TELLS TV PRESENTER OFF ON RED CARPET

Even Lady Gaga does not go gaga, in the real sense of it, she only excites us with out of this world dresses.
Well, we saw ex-miss world, Agbani Darego going gaga at the just concluded Arise Africa Fashion Week! If you don't get the drift, wait for gistmaster to serve it to you fresh and hot.
 Agbani showed off (even though many saw it as a wrong move) at the just concluded Arise Africa Fashion Week. A presenter from Silverbird had approached her for short interview on the red carpet, Agbani did not even stop talkless of having the normal red carpet chit, chat. Instead she just looked back and told the reporter, "Tell Bruce or guy to call me" 
Meaning the reporter is too small for her, rather, she should tell Ben Bruce, the chairman of Silverbird or Guy one of the Directors to call her!
   Agbani was a past Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria but she later won Miss World. To many, Agbani did not leverage on her position to actually make things happen on the international scene. Last year, she became a gentle touch ambassador and recently,she also  got an endorsement deal from Arik Air Nigeria.
