You wouldn’t believe what happened yesterday, at a brief event to celebrate Virgin Atalntic’s inaugural flight into Ghana.

At the well-attended event by the pool side of the Golden Tulip hotel, billionaire businessman Richard Branson, who’s the boss of VA,
attempted to push comedian Basketmouth into the pool. We’re told
Branson is used to pulling surprising stunts on guests at his events;
and that he has pushed many of his friends into swimming pools at
different parties.

But, yesterday in Accra, Nigerian comedianBasketmouth saw Branson coming. And he pulled a fast one – landing
Branson in the pool.

Guests were shocked. And for a second, somethought the billionaire or his aides would take offence. But Mr Branson
only reached out to Basket, inviting him to join him in the pool. ‘Wait
a minute’, Basket seemed to say, as he took off his wrist watch, and
dropped his mobile phone. Then he jumped into the pool where he posed
for pictures with Branson.

‘It was so unbelievable; but ended upbeing very interesting, and one of the high points of the night’, an
amused guest told NET.

‘He cracked Richard Branson up after that, and he got the man laughing non-stop. I was proud to be a Nigerian’, said our source.
