We can’t entrust Ondo to a man who can’t run his home, Women group tells Ondo people

Published

on

 

With a little over a month to the governorship primary election in Ondo State, a gender-based group, Society for Women Empowerment (SWE), has warned the people of Ondo State against supporting the aspiration of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa to govern the state for a term of four years.

 

 

The group particularly urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) not to give its ticket to Aiyedatiwa, adding that a man who can’t run his home can’t run the state successfully.

The group, in a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Mrs Damilola Charles, also called on President Bola Tinubu and the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Abdullahi Ganduje, to critically examine the importance of a happy and peaceful home in the productivity of men.

 

It will be recalled that the SWE had in June last year accused Aiyedatiwa of beating his wife, Oluwaseun Aiyedatiwa.

The group in its latest statement said:”The good people of Ondo state and by extension, the country, can now confirm that Governor Aiyedatiwa was assaulting his wife frequently. The poor woman, has now returned to the United Kingdom permanently. She has forsaken the perks and benefits of being a First Lady.

“We have amplified this situation severally. Our concerns, as mothers, have now shifted to the well-being of the people of Ondo state. We are concerned about the pedigree of man who assaults his wife and failed to keep a home.

 

“They say a blissful home creates a peaceful society. The situation in Ondo State negates this beautiful assertion. The number one citizen of the state, Aiyedatiwa has no wife at home. Hence, no home. The anointing of the bliss that’s supposed to run from the home and head of the leader of the state is lacking and obviously absent.

 

“It will amount to an aberration to entrust the affairs of the state to a man who couldn’t keep his home. We are calling on the mother of the Nation, Senator Remi Tinubu to investigate the situation in Ondo. A wife beater should have no place in the affairs of the country.

“At this age and time, when we are fighting domestic violence, a governor of a state like Ondo or any other state in the country for that matter should not be seen as a poster boy for domestic violence. It’s unacceptable.

“The events of the last few months have shown that Governor Aiyedatiwa has no regard for women. Despite the momentum of the campaigns ahead of the primary elections, and the fact that other aspirants are already moving around with their wives, the absence of Oluwaseun Aiyedatiwa is conspicuous.

 

“Governance is a serious business. While there are no special hand book on how to run the state, there are specific factors and indications that show the preparedness and competence of the seeker of the office. Effective management of the home front is the propeller for effectiveness, efficiency and productivity. A man who can’t run his home, can’t run the state.”

 

It will be recalled that the governor’s wife, Mrs Oluwaseun Esther Aiyedatiwa, had in June 2023, cried out over alleged beatings she suffered in the hands of her husband.

eh
A newspaper, Street Journal, had quoted her as saying that her husband, then the deputy governor, had turned her into punching bag with daily rounds of beatings.

The popular society newspaper quoted Mrs Aiyedatiwa as saying, “I have endured physical, mental abuse from my husband…

“…prior to Lucky’s appointment as deputy governor, we had ongoing issues revolving around abusive behaviour. Each time he would apologise, often attributing his actions to alcohol. Our children have witnessed this on two occassions.

“They implored me to have him arrested, but I explained that Nigerian culture does not provide room for such measures.

“I have endured physical, emotional and mental abuse from my husband – beatings, torture, and constant mistreatment.”

 

She has since reportedly relocated to the United Kingdom out of fear for life.

Nigerian-British social media influencer dies after $9,000 penis enlargement procedure in Thailand

Published

Igho Ubiribo, a Nigerian-British businessman and social media influencer, has reportedly died after undergoing a penis enlargement procedure during a luxury trip to Thailand.

According to findings from an inquest in the United Kingdom, 43-year-old Ubiribo died after the cosmetic treatment triggered a fatal pulmonary embolism.

The businessman, who was also known as “Tiny”, “Denisi” and “Ego”, was on holiday in Bangkok with his wife, Danielle Simba Allen, when he decided to undergo the procedure.

Reports from the inquest revealed that doctors injected about 40 millilitres of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine into his penis at an unnamed clinic in Thailand in March.

After the procedure, Ubiribo and his wife reportedly returned to their Marriott hotel, where they went for a massage.

It was during the massage that he complained of chest pain before collapsing and losing consciousness.

He was rushed to Sukhumvit Hospital, where he was initially able to respond to medical staff.

His wife reportedly informed doctors that he had recently undergone penis filler injections, prompting concerns that the procedure may have been linked to his condition.

Medical personnel suspected a pulmonary embolism and recommended further scans, but Ubiribo reportedly lost consciousness before the examination could be completed.

Doctors later transferred him to intensive care, where attempts were made to revive him through prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

He was pronounced dead in the early hours of March 6.

A postmortem examination conducted in the UK later reportedly found material in Ubiribo’s lungs consistent with the hyaluronic acid used during the penis filler procedure.

Pathologist John du Parcq told the inquest that the substance discovered matched the material injected during the cosmetic treatment.

He said the findings supported the conclusion that Ubiribo suffered a pulmonary embolism caused by the procedure.

The coroner, Jean Harkin, subsequently ruled that the businessman’s death was caused by a pulmonary embolism linked to the cosmetic injection.

A pulmonary embolism occurs when a blood clot or other material blocks a blood vessel supplying the lungs, potentially causing sudden breathing difficulties, heart strain and death.

During the inquest, information from Ubiribo’s doctor in London showed that he had previously undergone joint surgeries and had been described as pre-diabetic and suffering from gout.

However, his doctor reportedly said he had no other major medical conditions.

Penis fillers containing hyaluronic acid are marketed as a non-surgical option for increasing girth, but medical experts have warned that injectable cosmetic procedures can carry serious risks if complications occur.

Ubiribo was known for showcasing his luxury lifestyle on social media, where he had about 185,000 Instagram followers.

Reports said he owned a home in Los Angeles valued at about $1.1 million and a London apartment reportedly worth around $600,000.

He married Zimbabwean fashion designer Danielle Simba Allen in a lavish ceremony in 2022.

Following his death, Ubiribo was buried in London in a gold coffin, with reports claiming the funeral arrangement cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Afrobeats singer Davido, who was described as a childhood friend of the businessman, attended the funeral and paid tribute to him.

The case has renewed attention on the potential dangers associated with cosmetic procedures involving injectable fillers, after medical evidence linked the treatment to the fatal complication.

Help locate my husband! 68-year-old British woman cries out as 31-year-old Nigerian lover disappears after arriving UK

Published

For 68-year-old British citizen, Dawn Ottewell, it was literally love at first sight after she hooked up with 31-year-old Nigerian, Bright Emokpae on a popular dating App, Tinder.

But what began as a love story conceived in heaven and consummated on earth has ended in heartbreak and a desperate search for answers.

At the beginning,  Dawn, who obviously was consumed by love, quickly made efforts to facilitate Emokpae’s movement to the United Kingdom after their wedding.

But soon after he arrived in the UK on a spousal visa Emokpae disappeared into thin air. At the beginning, Dawn probably believed her new husband had simply stepped out and would be back soon.

But it soon dawned on her that new husband wouldn’t be coming back any time soon.

In a story published in the UK Sun, the love-struck 68-year-old said she met the Edo State born Bright when she was at the lowest ebb in 2021 and he brightened her life with love.

At the time, Bright Emokpae was reportedly a student in Cyprus and Dawn went on a visit. The couple eventually got married in 2022.

In 2023 Bright was in Nigeria to complete formalities for his visa to the UK courtesy of papers filed by Dawn and he relocated thereafter.

Shortly after his arrival, Dawn claimed that Bright became withdrawn and was always asking for money from her and added nothing to the sustenance of the home.

The pair separated but reunited in October 2023. According to Dawn, Bright reconciled with her because she  received a £63,000 settlement following a botched NHS prolapse operation. But he bolted from their home once again.

Not willing to put up with Emokpae’s flight from home any more, Dawn wants a divorce but her man cannot be located to sign the papers with Dawn speculating that he may have relocated to Scotland.

“He’s done a runner and is refusing to sign the divorce papers because I believe he wants to cling on to his spouse visa,” she said.

But Dawn’s main worry is that if she dies before the divorce papers are signed Bright could inherit her estate. “My biggest fear is that I’ll die before this is sorted out and he’ll run off with the money my three children should inherit,” she said.

She says she feels Bright simply used her to get into the UK and she’s appealing for help to locate him.

“I feel I’m being used,” Ottewell said.

She added, “I would advise people to be very careful who they marry, especially when the person is from abroad, because a lot of them are just doing it for a visa, and then they disappear.”
