“How much did Sabinus pay Asari Dokubo for using his voice over “You are a Mumu Man” “this man” and all of us for using ”how’s Family” before suing Peak milk for using the line “something “hooge”

While other views on the matter read,

“Sabinus suing peak Milk and Gala will forever remain funny to me… he’s not the first person to use the phrase “something hooge” and also, the cartoon on the new gala ad didn’t look like him. Sabinus didn’t stand a chance to win this, he should’ve just requested a partnership”

“One day I saw copies of my copyright book in the streets! Whereas I said: Pls call before using any part of the book. They later called me and everything gets fine😁”

“Sabinus has every right to sue peak Milk and Gala company for making use of his idea and cartoon image respectively, most of y’all asking if he trademarks the name are hypocrites, how do you feel when someone is making use of ur ideas to enrich themselves without giving u a dime?”

“Even after Lawyers have explained that he (Sabinus) has enough legal grounds to sue. You as per influencer still dey argue as per ” I nor fit lie for you.I bet most of y’all will not say the same if it was a foreign celeb or you personally”
