The Ooni and his beautiful queen By Tunde Odesola
Since the sun of social media appeared in cyberspace during the second half of the 1990s, it hasn’t ceased to blaze the dark closets of myths and tradition, exposing their cobwebs, warts and all.
And humanity is excited. At last, an answer has come to the bi-directional communication telephony of the era, welcoming the world to the age of technology where mass communication via networking travels at the speed of light, faster than the horse, ahead of the postman.
Without control, power is anarchy. When unsheathed, the sword of social media cuts with both edges. Ma se loogun ma mo: nothing is hidden from the big eye of the sun.
The only protection against getting caught by social media constabulary is either to be above board or to commit your sin silently in your mind, away from the prying watch of a gazillion and one cameras that make the internet omnipresent.
Even if you’re reckless on a boat at sea like the popular female singer recently caught pants down, but who never had the decency to apologise to her fans, especially children, the World Wide Web may still Savage you anytime in the future. Social media, together with its mom and dad, the internet and the World Wide Web, do not forget.
The world of social media is paradoxical, you may call it twisted, if you’re blunt. The beauty of social media is also its blight: private, yet public; individual, yet social; village, yet global.
On the superhighway called the internet, hailing and wailing are unmistakable sounds, depending on if the road user got a pat on the back or a kick in the teeth from social media’s untraceable troops.
The internet is no respecter of class, creed or colour. This is why one faceless Alani, who’s a farmer in the Oke Ogun area of Oyo State, would pick up his phone, go on social media, and query the military credentials and sincerity of Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) anytime Fulani herdsmen wreak havoc on farmlands in the South-West community.
It’s also the same reason why an anonymous Okafor, a pensioner in violence-ravaged Orlu, Imo State, would condemn online, using exasperation emojis, the blundering Buhari regime, which promoted 233 soldiers to various cadres of General in one fell swoop, last week, when the world’s strongest military force, the US Army, has only 231 generals.
Similarly, an obscure artisan in the Jos killing field of Plateau State, Latifah, would casually stroll into discussions on social media and call military authorities names, rightly pointing out that cronyism and thoughtlessness were the reasons why Africa’s fourth strongest Army, Nigeria, with a budget of $1.39 billion (using CBN exchange rate), could have more generals than the US Army with a budget of $610 billion.
Then Ahmed, an amputee in war-torn Borno, would not only like Yakubu’s comment, but make his contribution to the online conversation in these words, “Why govt dey dash soldiers wey no fit fight Boko Haram terrorists promotion yanfu yanfu like dis? Even US wey bi No 1 strongest nation no dey distribute promotion to generals like COVID-19. Now, Nigerians supoz don see di reason why a whole Nigerian Army go dey run helter-skelter because say one NYSC corper propose to one female soldier. E no go beta for idleness, walahi!”
Oh yeah, that’s the classless new world we live in today. A world where peasants call the king stupid, where the wretched call Messi, the highest-paid soccer player on earth, ‘my boy’, where illiterates call professors untaught. It’s a doorless and nameless world of equality and freedom. It’s a good world, albeit.
For the three years and three months their marriage endured, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ojaja 1, and his estranged queen, Silekunola Moronke Naomi, enjoyed the ubiquitous advantage of social media, which splashed their faces and stories across the world.
But when the vinyl record broke and the love music went croaky, social media did not turn a blind eye in awe of royal pomp. Rather, it went into the sacred shrines of the gods and sank its teeth into juicy stories, gobbling up the facts, rumours and falsehoods.
As goldfishes, Adeyeye and Naomi had no hiding place in the classless world of social media. The rumour mill went agog: How can the delectable Naomi from Akure Oloyemekun, wake up to her phone, go on social media, write an e-divorce, and walk away from the oldest crown in Yoruba land, the crown Oduduwa himself wore? Abomination!
Journalism didn’t fold its hands and leave the conversation to wailers, hailers and watchers on social media. Journalism also went to work, using social media as a tool for news gathering in the fulfilment of a sacred ethical obligation of informing, educating and entertaining the masses.
While wailers say it was stupid of journalism to pry into the private affairs of the royal couple, hailers say what is sauce for the goose (poor) is sauce for the gander (rich). For journalism, ultimately, news, which is the factual report of a notable event, must be fairly disseminated, no matter whose ox is gored.
While hailers of the Ooni on the internet condemn Naomi, the mother of one-year-old prince Tadenikawo, for allegedly using and dumping the 47-year-old monarch after finding fame, wailers against him say only an incurable playboy would fail thrice in marriage within 12 years, stressing that any EPL striker that misses a penalty thrice in a row should abandon football for bricklaying.
Online wailers against the 28-year-old Naomi recall how she voluntarily came all the way from Akure, like one of the Three Wise Men, to the Palace of Oduduwa, a year after the king’s marriage to Edo-born Queen Zaynab Otiti Obano had crashed, bearing a birthday present of a Bible on September 10, 2018 – ahead of the king’s birthday on October 17, 1974.
That was when the king set his eyes on prophetess Naomi, who was born on October 12, 1993 in Akure, Ondo State, and a sizzling romance led to marriage in October 2018.
Bloggers, as unprofessional as they come, also latched onto the story, wailing and hailing, as the case may be. Some of the news videos from various blogs include allegations of a contract in Ondo State which the Ooni purportedly gave to Naomi’s family member to execute, but which wasn’t executed to the satisfaction of the monarch, and fights among family members of the Ooni and Naomi, who lived with them in various chalets in the palace.
Many wailers and hailers in online comments and videos, alleged that the cohabitation of Naomi’s mom and relatives, together with the Ooni’s siblings, in the expansive palace was a taut string at breaking point.
I’ll neither gloat over the crash of the Adeyeye-Naomi marriage nor bemoan it. It is what it is: our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. I wish both Adeyeye and Naomi the best life can offer as they both try to rise from the ruins of this marriage.
I ask, like Whitney Houston, where do broken hearts go?

Sexual Allegations: Dr. Chris Okafor’s Image Remains Unblemished

Sexual Allegations: Dr. Chris Okafor’s Image Remains Unblemished
…Doris Ogala’s Attempts Have Failed, and Will Continue to Fail
By Christopher David
For some times now I have been contemplating the sexual allegations made by Doris Ogala against Dr Chris Okafor, a Man of God from the Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry, also known as Liberation City. This is an allegation that continues to elicit heated debates in Nigeria’s media landscape, with social media platforms being a major hub for these discussions. The media frenzy has raised substantial dust, resulting in confusion about the direction of our society. Without a doubt, the media has devoted considerable attention to Doris, an actress whose fame had waned.
However, much more is required to bring the entire situation to a logical conclusion. For various reasons, I have refrained from responding to alleviate the already damaging media frenzy that could exacerbate Doris Ogala’s false and malicious allegations against the anointed man of God
To say the least, it is equally important to educate the public, church members, and online followers, thereby preventing Doris’s numerous false statements from tarnishing the reputation of the man of God. It is currently unnecessary to recount the numerous false statements made by Doris, who has been utilizing her social media platform to make spurious claims against Dr. Chris Okafor, a respected spiritual leader, by falsely alleging to have had a sexual relationship with him, despite the fact that a substantial amount of information has already been made public on this topic; nonetheless, the truth must ultimately be revealed.
Let’s examine the allegation in question. The actress in question claims to have had a sexual encounter with the religious leader, but where exactly did this occur? Was it at his residence, which is consistently staffed by over 15 domestic workers and security personnel, or did it happen in a hotel room? How credible is this assertion?. Throughout my brief life experience, I have developed an understanding of the considerable obstacles that must be overcome to gain entry into this respected man of God’s inner sanctum, or even to cultivate intimate connections or relationships, which are exclusively permissible within the bounds of matrimony
Does it not defy sound judgment that a ‘Jezebel’ known as Doris Ogala previously found to have deceived other men of God would engage in a sexual relationship with Dr. Chris Okafor and display no apparent guilt, addressing him as “My father in the Lord” while worship in his church some years back. Indeed, I lack the requisite grammatical proficiency to substantiate the alleged sexual intercourse that this lady claimed and ranted about on her social media page; rather, I regard it as a malicious allegation, completely unfounded and emanating from a deceitful and evil-minded source, as manifest in the incoherence of such allegations.
I do not intend to diminish the value of social media, particularly its potential to reach a broad audience; however, many Nigerians engage with social media content on an emotional and sentimental level. Platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc., do not function as courts of law; hence, grievances must be addressed through the appropriate legal channels, encompassing both criminal and civil proceedings.
The degradation of individuals, organisations, homes, governments and institutions on social media is a worrisome trend. Some social media crusaders exploit this phenomenon as a publicity stunt. Additionally, does Doris Ogala possess evidence to corroborate the purported sexual allegation? This, in most cases, remains obscure to the general public
Regarding Delilah and the satanic angel Doris and her accomplices, reports emerged that Doris made claims on social media last year about Dr. Chris Okafor owing her money. According to her, the money was given to her by an unidentified individual through him. However, a prompt response questioned the logic of an unnamed individual choosing to pay for her services through Pastor Chris, rather than directly to her. This exchange has sparked allegations of dishonesty against Doris Ogala, an actress whose career has experienced a decline. Does Doris realize she may be being manipulated as a social media stooge? Where are her online supporters, who are supposed to be cheering her on and providing encouragement on social media?
I guess the infamous actress is totally broke and out of her mind, thinking she can use the same tricks used on some men of God in the past to extort Dr. Chris Okafor, fondly called the ‘Oracle’. Guess Doris might have forgotten Dr. Chris Okafor’s petition and the ongoing court case against her, which is still before the honorable Court of law?
If I may inquire, have her Instagram and Facebook followers taken her seriously again, given the numerous unsubstantiated claims?. I would advise against aligning oneself with individuals who refer to Doris’ recent allegation as a challenge to the Church, although it may appear that way. However, it seems that Doris is navigating a precarious path. The onus is on her to promptly rectify the situation, as her actions have been widely criticized by supporters of Liberation City, both in Nigeria and globally. Doris Ogala’s recent allegations have left many speechless, wondering if she was intentionally trying to tarnish the reputation of the great prophet of God
As she transitioned from “Okafor owes me a huge amount and I’m ready to collect my money” to “we had sexual intercourse together”, it appears she may require medical attention because nobody in their right mind would continue to fabricate lies in a similar manner, showing reasons why she was separated from her marriage due to childlessness four years ago with her Igbo partner.
In conclusion, Doris Ogala appears to necessitate professional intervention, as it seems she may be experiencing memory loss or repercussions from past conflicts. I doubt whether Doris Ogala can circumvent consequences this time, no as her actions may have serious repercussions.
Watch for part 2, which will reveal men of God against whom she has previously made false accusations.
Church members submit anonymous writings against the evil plotter lady known as Doris Ogala.

Again! Fuji Star, Saheed Osupa Prevents Portable Re-Arrest in Kwara On New Petition (See Full Details)
Nigeria fuji icon, Saheed Akorede popularly known as Osupa, on Tuesday prevented the re-arrest of Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable after another petition surfaced against him.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that legendary Fuji musician discontinued his case against Portable on Tuesday following an appeal by prominent Nigerians to settle the matter out of court.
In a new development, Mr Yemi George, Managing Director of Starwood Hotels Ilorin, told NAN on Tuesday that Osupa prevailed on him not to re-arrest Portable after collecting the sum of N6.3m for a show that he did not perform.
“I have obtained every necessary documents to re-arrest him today in order to refund my money but out of respect for the legendary fuji musician (Osupa) , he prevailed on me not to.
“My company, Starwood Hotels O2 Arena in collaboration with the leadership of the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN) put an event together for Portable to perform but he never did” George said.
According to a document obtained by NAN, titled Petition for fraudulent and obtaining by false pretense the sum of N6.3m, the petitioners said they entered agreement with Portable on July 22, 2024, which he never respected.
According to the petition, Portable was paid N6.3m to perform at the ‘Kwara Tampan Fiesta’ on September 29, 2024, but failed to appear on stage at the agreed-upon time.
Despite arriving over 16 hours late, he allegedly sneaked out of his hotel lodging without fulfilling his promise to perform.
The petitioners claim that Portable’s actions caused significant financial loss and distress, and they are seeking a thorough investigation, prosecution, and restitution of the N6,300,000 allegedly obtained through fraudulent means.
The petition was signed by Chief Olu Amusan, Governor, TAMPAN and Ayodele Demokun on behalf of Starwogd Hotels 02 Arena
NAN recalls that the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of Kwara command, Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, had in a statement on Sunday confirmed the arrest of Portable following a petition received from Osupa.
The petition borders on serious allegations which includes criminal defamation, threat to life, incitement, character assassination, conduct likely to cause a breach of peace and the use of abusive and insulting words.

Opinion/Letter to the Editor
H.E. Tukur Yusufu Buratai: A Comprehensive Profile from Deepseek
Out of sheer curiosity and a desire to delve deeper into the intricacies of Nigeria’s military history, yesterday I decided to engage with the AI application known as Deepseek, posing a question about what it knows concerning Nigeria’s former Chief of Army Staff, General Tukur Yusufu Buratai. My intention was not only to test the depth of the intelligence capabilities of this innovative AI tool but also to acquire a neutral and unbiased report or profile of the former general—something that would be entirely devoid of any flattery or vindictive vilification of his character. What I received from Deepseek as feedback was a detailed and well-structured overview that encapsulated General Buratai’s significant military career.
General Tukur Yusufu Buratai, who served as Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff (COAS) from 2015 to 2021, is widely recognized for his transformative leadership and significant contributions to the Nigerian Army. Below is a synthesis of his key achievements, supported by context from the provided search results:
1. Counterinsurgency and National Security
Buratai spearheaded Nigeria’s fight against Boko Haram and ISWAP, drastically reducing their territorial control. Under his command:
– 75% reduction in attacks within five months of his appointment (2015), and a 90% decline in suicide bombings by 2017.
– He introduced innovative military strategies, such as the Super Camp Maneuver Concept and Mobile Strike Teams, which disrupted terrorist operations.
– The northeast became safer, enabling the 2019 general elections to proceed peacefully in previously insecure regions.
2. Institutional Reforms and Training
Buratai prioritized professionalism and capacity-building:
– Established the Nigerian Army Resource Centre (NARC) to address strategic defense gaps and foster research.
– Revived training exercises like Python Dance, Crocodile Smile, and Ayam Akpatuma, enhancing troops’ readiness for internal security operations.
– Expanded foreign training opportunities for officers and soldiers, improving Nigeria’s competitiveness in international military engagements.
3. Infrastructure and Welfare Development
His tenure saw unprecedented infrastructural growth:
– Founded Nigerian Army University, Biu (NAUB), Africa’s first Army university, focusing on technological and military education. The institution expanded rapidly, with 75% of admissions reserved for civilians.
– Upgraded barracks, hospitals (e.g., Level 4 facilities), and housing projects nationwide, significantly boosting troop morale.
– Launched initiatives like Army Farms and Ranches and Barracks Investment Programme to improve soldiers’ welfare and self-sufficiency.
4. Technological and Operational Innovations
Buratai modernized the Army’s capabilities:
– Created the Nigerian Army Cyber Warfare Command to combat digital threats.
– Commissioned indigenous Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles, reducing reliance on foreign equipment.
– Established specialized units like the Motorcycle Battalion and Special Forces Command for terrain-specific operations.
5. Leadership and Diplomacy
– Personal involvement in combat: Buratai frequently led troops on frontline missions, such as the 2020 Limankara hills operation, inspiring soldiers.
– Post-retirement, he served as Nigeria’s Ambassador to Benin Republic, strengthening bilateral ties and curbing cross-border crime.
– Promoted physical fitness within the Army, instituting policies like the Body Mass Index standard and completing a 60km run at age 60 to set an example.
6. Awards and Legacy
Buratai received numerous honors, including:
– Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (CFR).
– Traditional titles like Betara of Biu Emirate and Jagunmolu of Saki Land.
– A Doctor of Letters (DLitt) honoris causa from NAUB.
Conclusion
General Buratai’s tenure reshaped the Nigerian Army into a more professional, technologically adept, and responsive institution. His legacy spans counterterrorism victories, educational advancements, and infrastructural development, earning him recognition as one of Nigeria’s most impactful military leaders.
For further details, refer to the cited sources.
As I wrote earlier, the information provided above is sourced from Deepseek, and it is a raw, unedited account of the current state of affairs. I firmly believe that it is crucial for Nigerians to learn the importance of acknowledging and commending leaders who are performing well or making significant positive contributions to the country, rather than indulging in the spreading of falsehoods, rumors, and smear campaigns simply because certain insecure individuals feel threatened by the rising prominence of others. This tendency to “kill their prophets” is detrimental to our collective progress.
For instance, take a closer look at the troubling situation in the North-East today; observe the morale of the troops, the quality of their training and kitting, and the overall leadership structure. Unfortunately, the situation has deteriorated significantly. During his tenure as Chief of Army Staff, General Buratai demonstrated an unwavering commitment to safeguarding Nigeria, even placing his own life on the line and facing numerous life-threatening situations.
In stark contrast, we now witness a disheartening trend where current commanders seem reluctant to lead from the front lines. The theaters of war in both the North-East and North-West regions have ceased to serve as bastions of operational strength or secondary offices for the Service Chiefs. I am aware of several nearby villages to Maiduguri Metropolitan Council (MMC) that are under constant threat, with terrorists freely roaming about and yet, tragically, no one appears ready or willing to confront them. It is no surprise that our great nation is currently in a state of turmoil and unrest.
Securing a complex and diverse society like Nigeria is not a task for the faint of heart; it requires immense dedication, strategic planning, and REAL HARD WORK. I strongly believe that we must address these challenges head-on, with a united front and a renewed sense of purpose, if we are to restore peace and stability to our beloved country.
MS Abubakar writes from Maiduguri
