I’m alone to face mockery from enemies who pretend to be friends – Betty Akeredolu

Published

Betty, the heart-broken widow of late Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, has said she will be alone to face all manners of mockery from adversaries and friends following the death of her husband.

In her tribute, Betty, who has received several criticisms since Akeredolu’s death, said the death of her husband hurts her badly as she would be left in the midst of enemies who pretended to be friends and outright adversaries.


Betty said some friends had lashed out at late Akeredolu and described him as weakling because he loved her.

 

She queried if her husband described as generalissimo of Amotekun could be a weakling?

 

According to her, “By the way, do they know what love is? I don’t think so. In their homes, while growing up they saw their mothers trampled upon as doormats. Beaten up like a punch bags.

 

“They copied the template and treated their wives as pieces of furniture that could be easily discarded as trash in many instances, the subjugation was garnished with beatings while the community looked the other way and remained unperturbed by gender-based violence/reigned supreme nationwide.”

“In civilized climes, if you beat your wife, jail awaits you even if you are a Governor. They marvel that a Nigerian man can love his wife. To them na only Oyibo man dey love. They are infuriated that a Yoruba man can love his wife who is Igbo.

“How can? Igbo lasan, lasan! To them na only Oyibo man dey love. Na love at first sight brought us together, biko. No be juju! Na love make me cross the Niger. That love at first sight turned out to be true and pure. And you were proud to say it . You were proud to show it. You were even prouder to tell the people of Ondo State and beyond that, we were a team.


“You were audacious to tell your people that “you voted for one but got two”. A testimony of my positive contribution to your life and career, emotionally and intellectually.

 

“We differed on one aspect, though. Religion. You were religious and wore your faith on your sleeves. I’ am not. With no apologies. You were frustrated. Yet, we managed to work it out by harnessing our communication skills.

“You came to terms with my position on religion and respected my choice of pragmatism. And a peaceful home we built by respecting each other’s idiosyncrasies, supporting each other’s career pathways, and loving each other at the same time. That you were courageous is now like a radio jingle on the lips of all and sundry.

 

“As a partner, you were kind and playful but annoying sometimes with your jokes which became normal over the years given that trying to change you from cracking expensive jokes was an exercise
in futility. During our early years of marriage when we started from scratch, you made sure we didn’t lack.

 

“You took care of me and the children. With time, you became the best husband, dad, and grandpa any wife, child or grandchild would wish for.

 

“Aketi’s tribute to Betty @60 on July 20, 2013, gives the reader an insight into the marriage of 42 ys we had. We were soul mates. If there is anything like another life, I will marry you and you remain darling mi! ”

How my father managed 13 wives, 53 children – Celestial Church founder, Oshoffa’s son

Published

Olatosho Oshoffa, son of the Founder, Celestial Church of Christ, Worldwide, Bilewu Oshoffa, has revealed how the late spiritual leader managed his 13 wives and 53 children during his lifetime.

The cleric, popularly known as Tosho, is the shepherd of CCC International Headquarters, Ketu, Lagos.

 

Tosho is the 10th son and the 20th child of the late CCC founder.

 

He stressed the love among the family members, including the wives and many children while noting that their late father used to tell them, “Never say you are a son or daughter to any of my wives. But tell yourself, you are a son of Oshoffa.”

 

Unlike it’s seen in some polygamous families where children see themselves from different mothers, Tosho said his father used the “girdle of love to tie us together. So we don’t see ourselves as children of our various mothers but as children of Oshoffa.”

Tosho stated that the children related well while their father was alive, and even after his demise.

 

“And that is the same way we related when he (Oshoffa) was still in this world and has been doing after his demise. Even as of today, the remaining Oshoffa wives that were younger to my mother, I still refer to them as my mother, because of the love that our father (Oshoffa) has used to bind us together. So, we all remain one as SBJ Oshoffa children,” he said.

The shepherd of the CCC International Headquarters in the Ketu area of Lagos noted that the multitude of children in the family had never been a problem.

 

He said, “We, the children know ourselves, and up till now, I can tell you that we know the number of wives that gave birth to this number of children for my father. So, we know ourselves and relate very well.

“There is one love in the family, no matter how many we are. The number of children is 53, but we are all in one love and one accord.”

 

Tosho equally quelled the controversy that Oshoffa had more than 53 children, saying, “He left behind 13 wives and 53 children. Many people have said he had 100 children and so on. But no.”

Sex for marks: UNN suspends, probes lecturer ‘attempting to sexually assault’ student

Published

By

 

The University of Nigeria (UNN) has suspended a lecturer, identified as Mfonobong Udoudom, over what it described as an “inappropriate affair” with a student.

 

On Tuesday, the senior lecturer of General Studies is seen in viral videos pacing back and forth in his office, visibly panicked, and clothed in his underpants.

 

Sources at the university disclosed that the lecturer was “caught pants down attempting to have sex with a married female student of the school”.

 

The sources alleged that Udoudom had long been in the practice of only “passing female students after sleeping with them”.

 

It was alleged that he made a female student understand she wouldn’t pass his course unless she submitted herself for sexual intercourse with him.

 

One of the sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity said the female student planned with her husband to entrap the lecturer while working with UNN security and other students.

The student source further said the security agents forcefully broke into his office and caught the lecturer “in action”.

 

“It was planned out with her husband and security agents in the school. The female was made to approach the lecturer to offer him money in order to scale through his course. He refused and insisted he needed to have sexual intercourse with her in his office,” the source said.

 

“When the lady succumbed to his demands and asked him to undress, he was caught wearing only boxers.”

 

In the now-viral footage, a witness is heard saying: “We have been following this case from day one. We have all the chats, voice notes, video calls, and every conversation he had with the female student”.

 

The UNN management confirmed that Udoudom has now been suspended.

 

Okwun Omeaku, UNN’s acting media spokesperson, said the senior lecturer will be made to face the staff disciplinary panel.

“The indefinite suspension is with immediate effect pending the outcome of a disciplinary panel constituted by the university to investigate the incident,” he said.

 

“UNN has a zero tolerance for sexual misconducts involving our staff and students.

 

“We are committed to protecting our students from any form of abuse and exploitation. The university management will not hesitate to punish Mr. Mfonobong David Udoudom according to our rules if he is found guilty.”
