Please tell us about yourself?
I am a Business Consultant and Manager, Entertainment and Events Planner, Producer, Promoter and Publicist Socialite and Trendsetter, with over 19 years of professional experience in the Entertainment Music business, Radio, Sports, Political industries and Not for profit organizations. I specialize in; Athlete and celebrity marketing, business consulting and development, community outreach, entertainment booking, events marketing, lifestyle marketing, marketing communications, media and public relations, merchandise development, project management, show production, special events planning, sponsorship negotiation, strategic management, strategy development and talent representation.
I am a former child model with the Marge McDermott Agency and performing artist appearing in several Commercial -print advertisements, Music videos and Theatrical productions, I am also the former Miss Continental.
I am the Producer of The Miss Nubian Teen Pageant and Talent Competition. I Produced the concert for the Shona C. Bailey Memorial Committees, street renaming thus renaming 135th Street between Broadway and Riverside Drive “Shona Bailey Place” entertainment included; Jay-Z, Original Flavor, Black Sheep, DMX, Prodigy and Havoc just to name a few.
There have been rumors that Frankie Nollywood defrauded some people and your name was mentioned among the list of victims. How true are the allegations?
I am only aware of what Nneoma Njoku has informed me regarding her dealings with Frankie Nollywood. She and I were partners in coordinating and producing the Miss Nigeria Entertainment Pageant-New Jersey. We met each other through Frankie Nollywood. I felt Frank Nollywood was a fraud early in our business negotiations.
Please can you tell us more about your business dealings with Frankie Nollywood?
We were collaborating to produce the first Miss Nigeria Entertainment Pageant-New Jersey, we were partnering because I have produced my own pageant and I was interested in venturing into an International market in Entertainment and Sports in general.
Please shed more light on the business deal?
I can forward you contracts, basically I was to produce the Miss Nigeria Entertainment Pageant New Jersey, however every week and month the terms of the agreement kept changing as I challenged his contracts and ethics, finally realizing he was the major obstacle. Once Frank realized I was not fair game, he was working on his exit strategy and had no intentions of co-producing the pageant in the USA with me.
How did you meet with Frankie Nollywood?
I met Frankie Nollywood on Facebook. He was a mutual friend of a prominent Nollywood actor.
Is it true that Frankie Nollywood defrauded you and some other people?
Frank was a fraud in my eyes the way he handled business. I was not going to allow him to commit fraudulent acts towards me, as he continued to double talk and revise contracts, etc. I was relieved when he finally suspended my activity. I was wondering how long he was gonna keep the game going, because he knew he could not outsmart me or use me to continue playing the game. The fact that he also tried to prey on yet another woman would keep me two steps ahead of him, especially when I informed him I knew law. Our partnership began in February and officially dissolved in May. My heart was not in it in April. I stayed aboard to see how it would play out.
Do you have any letter of agreement with Frankie?
Just a contract detailing the duties of an agreement, it could not be officially signed via emails and I was well aware of this fact, this is why I was very cautious with dealing with Frank.
We heard that Frankie wasn’t happy that you involved Nigerians in the project. Why was that?
Frank was annoyed because they were telling me all the right things to ask him and he knew he was doing wrong. I am an American and I think he wanted to try to use this as an advantage for himself; however my New Jersey base were Nigerian men and women. I was shocked when I got that response from Frank; however a scam is a scam whether based in America or Nigeria.
Did you lose money or know of anyone who lost money in dealing with Frankie?
I lost some expense traveling to and from various places in New Jersey. I live in New York State so it was expensive gas toll, parking, lunch, and then my energy and time.
What should Frankie do to settle all this?
Frankie should have just produced his pageant. He had a good concept and great project, overall just be forthright in his dealings as a business man and producer.
Let’s make it clear for our readers. Are you saying Frankie is a fraudster from what you experienced dealing with him?
I am not slandering his name by saying he is a fraudster. I am privy to what happened through my Nigerian-American partner. Fraud is on a large scale. I would consider Frankie petty with obscured vision not seeing the big picture in his own projects. I have yet to see any productions or projects from the past. There is also the fact that he did not attend the Canadian pageant, which a member of a New Jersey organization I was working with attended. The member came back with praise for the Canadian pageant and summoned the New Jersey members and others to join my efforts. The question still arose in everyone’s mind though where Frankie was. There was also the change on his facebook page status the week of the Canadian pageant that said he was allegedly in Canada, not exactly a fraudster in my eyes however misleading.
Nollywoodgossip wishes you the best.

@ Gladys Sibanda Jensen, I am the Frankie, what I'm respectfully asking you what are the CRIMES?
Hmmm wat is dis abt is she kidding?
Mina Horsfall kind of, lol
@Gladys, NEVER IN YOUR LIFE Conclude on a one sided accusation, read the stories, the accusations, and the articles….also read what the presumed accused people are saying, some of them are just hearing the matter fro the first time… and these are the people the report said that they are accusing FRANKIE, had reported to Metropolitan Police and the rest of them…. how come they didn't even mention such?
The first topic was that Frankie is on the RUN, Frankie defrauded celebrities all over the world, and some of the celebrities has JUST spoken… some said Frankie let them down, some said at first they felt he was a fraud, some said he is never a serious person…. but my candid question is are these nonsense and worthless accusations as reported the truth of the matter? or a cover-up?
WELL I AM THE FRANKIE IN QUESTION, I'll forward this page to my attorney, if he advise me to comment, or reply I'll surely do that within 48hours…. I am not a fool, and will never be seen as one, NEVER…

We have heard you.
ok
I have not erased my facebook pages or everything related to the Miss Nigeria Entertainment Pageant, and when it comes to my resume everything is factual, it was that very same resume that inspired the business partnership, last my name is Keisha Morrisey, yours is Frankie Nollywood?
I play chess well Game recognizes Game, I move based upon Frankie Nollywoods moves. The $2500 deposit was for the Sheraton coordinated by my friend Chief Titus, the total was $5,000 in which I stated that I, the team in the USA would reimburse the parent company-Frankie, the agreement also stated if in any area you needed help just let the parent company know. I had an issue with the Sheraton contract agreement, I was advised to ask Frankie to pay for the rental deposit as for time was of the essence in reserving the date and so I could work on sponsorship etc. I was also advised to tell Frankie of my not wanting to work with my friend Chief Titus any more for reasons he mentioned and other confusions, to save my name and the event. I immediately downgraded the event to Essexs County college with the help of a Nigerian member of the Mayors office in New Jersey. I ultimately got a venue at the college for less, all of my efforts were in the best interest of the Miss Nigeria Entertainment-NJ pageant and realty show, because I could not be outsmarted with the diversionary tactics presented is why my activities were suspended. My friend Chief Titus did present a problem wanting to bring a Queen from Nigeria over to participate, however I was advised not to get involved with visa issues, that Queen from Nigeria and I are still facebook friends. Frankie used this platform to suspend my activities thus my introduction to Nneoma E. Njoku.

Good Day & Greetings,
I received a call yesterday from a lady telling me that chief is sabotaging the event saying he is not apart and the he also said I was a scam, She suggested that I should just give her the letter for her daughter to come over, otherwise she was not going to help me get contestants or journal ads and I said fine with me, because I had not cleared it with you, I never felt it was that important to have her here in the USA for this production when I had credible people right here in america,
The individuals/ nigerian community here seems to think the production is a scam because of chief, no one seems to understand why you in general are not paying for the facilities, I have explained several times that that is not what the contract states on my part, so therefore the journal advertisements and the sponsorship is a problem without the venue being confirmed. as far as the venue goes I have contacted Essex county community college I am waiting for the last approval from the President of the college the venue is $1900 but a gentlemen from the mayors office and his organization said in turn their donation would be to submit his not for profit status so the venue could be $350 dollars.
Since april, I have been stopped working with chief but the phone call yesterday that he is still trying to sabatoge the event prompted me to email you and other folk that are still trying to help, because he doesn't want to see the project go on at all, anything Ive needed Ive asked you for and any problem I have had I have shared with you, I figured to send out an email to shut him up cause he's spreading lies and rumors.

Good Day & Greetings All,
Chief Titus,
I appreciate it, if you bow out gracefully and humbly from your position as a co-coordinator and headquarters for MNE-NJ, as for I have found it very difficult to work with your bullying, deceitful, harassing, hostile-lying, and manipulative ways of doing business, I choose to take the higher road but you instead are continually trying to sabotage the project and my name because of our in differences of me not allowing you to use me or the production for your personal gain and I thinking outside of the box when it came to your sole advice, thus your asking me after months of planning to abruptly drop the event production and to uproot-vacate the premise, before June 24-26 weekend because ie;.
1. your booking of the Sheraton Ballroom at $2,500 because you are a "Gold Card" member and this was a discount and wanting the production to pay cash in full within 3 days, to you, when that is not what my contract agreement states with the head producer, you also did not have me a part of the negotiations at the Sheraton, or even to have me view the facility as the director/producer of the USA event.
Keisha Morrisey · Owner/ President at Urban Stars Agency and Associates, Inc.- U.S.A.
I WISH TO ADD FOR THE RECORD FRANK AND I PARTED WAYS IN PEACE WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF US WORKING ON FUTURE PROJECTS TOGETHER, IN NO WAY DID I WISH FOR THIS TO BE HAMMERED OUT IN THE MEDIA NOR DO I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH FRANK NOLLYWOOD, HOWEVER THIS IS MY TRUTH OF THE MATTER, I HAD NOTHING TO GAIN OR LOOSE…STEADY AS SHE GOES).
Keisha Morrissey was practically looking for a Job or something to do with her life after breaking-up with her Ex, that was the time she wrote me the letter, dated January 27, 2011 (see below).
Frankie
“I’d like to help in the USA with the Nigeria Beauty Pageant; xxxxxvine7@hotmail.com”.
Keisha Morrissey, January 27, 2011.
Keisha's response; (EX-? I was looking to co venture with the Nigerian Pageant and Reality show, because I have other business dealing with Nigerians and I own a pageant, I wished to build a positive name for myself in Pageantry in the motherland just as I have in Boxing Entertainment, mostly in Ghana. I wished to help his efforts he could have declined however my resume speaks volumes as I continue to work with American and Nigerian clients).
____________________________________________________________________
FRANK; Keisha Morrissey just confirmed that Frank had a good concept, a great project….but he wasn’t forthright in his dealings as a producer. Does she really expect me to send $2500 to her?
14 April 2011: Keisha Morrisey.
Apologies
change in plans, can we renegotiate the venue part of our contract please in order to secure the date, I will need you to pay the $2500 to secure the venue for June 12th because of the time frame and I will reimburse you from the ticket sales and sponsorship …………….
Keishas response (I NEVER ASKED FRANKIE TO SEND MONEY DIRECTLY TO ME THE DEPOSIT WAS TO BE SENT TO THE SHERATON THIS WAS STRATEGICALLY DONE BECAUSE CANADA HAD ALSO USED THE SHERATON HOTEL TO PRODUCE THEIR EVENT, WHEN FRANK REFUSED BASED OFF OF IT BEING MY RESPONSIBILITY AND I EXPLAINED THE DILEMMA AND TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE I IMMEDIATELY KNEW HE COULD NOT BE TOO SERIOUS ABOUT ME OR PRODUCING HIS EVENT SO I FELL BACK, I KNOW HOW FRANCHISE PRODUCTION AND PRODUCTION IN GENERAL OPERATES) (IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE VENUE CONTRACTS FROM ESSEX COUNTY COLLEGE AND THE SHERATON HOTEL PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME).
okay
