My response to Ali Modu Sheriff- By Femi Fani Kayode

This is a response from Femi Fani-Kayode to Ali Modu Sherif. Read his response below:

Lying Ali Modu Sheriff told Channels TV that I sent people to beg him for claiming that he was Boko Haram.

These are the lies of a desperate and drowning man. He came to destroy the PDP and if we did not rise up against him and kick him out when we did he would have succeeded in his mission. 

I am proud to have been the first to see him for what he is and to publicly blow the whistle on him.

Are Christians Second Class Citizens in Nigeria? - By Femi Fani-Kayode

I am glad that Father Mbaka of the Catholic Church has finally seen the light and that he has denounced the Buhari regime. This coming from a man that once supported the President vigorously, even when members of his own flock and faith were being slaughtered, marginalised and humiliated, is cheery news.

Yet there are still many more Church leaders that supported the Buhari government, that sold their souls to the devil and that need to follow Mbaka's example and recant.

The great philosopher, writer and intellectual Mr. Dante Alighieri once said that "the hottest place in hell is reserved for those who maintain their neutrality at a time of moral crisis".

To add to this it was our very own Professor Wole Soyinka, the distinguished Nobel Laureate, that said "the man died in him who remained silent in the face of tyrrany".

Of Tyrants, Martyrs and Heroes (Part 2) by Femi Fani-Kayode

It is with the foregoing in mind that we must examine and critically analyse the performance of the Buhari administration. I have nothing personally against President Muhammadu Buhari and, as he knows, I have the utmost respect for his office.
 
Yet, like Oliver Cromwell and Sir Thomas More, despite the sign of the times and the hazards and perils of standing against injustice and tyranny, we must rid ourselves of our fears and speak the bitter truth. And that truth is as follows.
The more our government persecutes its perceived enemies, the more they are sowing the seeds of disintegration in our country. The more they oppress and attempt to intimidate those they seek to silence and subjugate, the more they engender anger, rebellion, alienation, enmity and division.

The Saga Continues: Femi Fani-Kayode Calls Bianca Ojukwu 'An Ode To Jezebel' In New Facebook Post


AN ODE TO JEZEBEL

The Holy Bible says, ''who is he that sayeth a thing and it cometh to pass when the Lord God of Hosts has commanded it not?'' It says, ''who can lay a charge before God's elect? It is Christ that justifies''. It says ''who can separate us from the love of the Lord'' and that ''in all these things we are more than conquerors''. It says, ''the Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers assail me uttering slanders against me, my adversaries and foes, they shall stumble and fall''. My God is awesome. He that is known as the Ancient of Days never sleeps and never fails. The battle belongs to Him.

‘Everybody In London Knew About Femi & Bianca Ojukwu’ – Kemi Olunloyo Reveals

Eccentric daughter of former Oyo State Governor, Kemi Omololu Olunloye promised to rubbish Bianca Ojukwu’s claim that she never dated Femi Fani-Kayode and guess what, she achieved that today…Check out how she captured the whole story…really laughable. Read on

Kemi Olunloye Why Bianca is lying about her relationship with Femi Fani Kayode (FFK) during her late teens is perplexing. In the early 80′s there were a group of now affluent Nigerians that flocked together as teens in London, Oxford, Cambridge in the UK and even Wales. We were teen couples. I dated Segun Cole, Lanre Tejuoso and Moji Okoya, Toyin Ojora and Bukola Saraki all became prominent married couples today. The Folawiyos, Adenirans, Lawrence twins, Olunloyo sisters and more as well as the Fani Kayode’s were all known. Everyone knows about Femi and Governor Onoh’s daughter.

The Saga Continues: Bianca Ojukwu Rejects Fani Kayode’s Apology, Says It Is Unsatisfactory


Mrs Bianca Ojukwu has rejected Chief Femi Fani-Kayode’s withdrawal of his comments wherein he claimed he had an intimate relationship with her in his article Neither a tribalist nor a hater”  saying that the Fani’s statement was only a riposte.

Fani-Kayode on September 6 withdrew his comments in the two newspapers after he was given a 7 day ultimatum by Bianca’s lawyers to retract his statements and offer an unreserved apology to her in The Sun and Thisday newpapers. However, Kayode in his statement insisted that he knew Mrs Ojukwu in the 1980s and that some of those who knew she was his girlfriend are still living.

A Word For Yarima And The Paedophiles In Power — Fani-Kayode



I  expressed my concerns about the issue of paedophilia and child brides in Nigeria quite extensively in an essay that I wrote last week titled ‘’A Nation Of Perverts And Paedophiles’’ which was widely published and which attracted a lot of rejoinders and commentries from other writers and commentators from both sides of the divide. I do not intend to cover the same ground or repeat the same arguements here but kindly permit me to make a final contribution to the debate in this piece.
The good news is that no matter what anyone thinks or says and regardless of whichever side of the divide one is on, when it comes to this issue, at least the Nigerian people are now talking about a subject which, hitherto, had been regarded as being ‘’off limits’’ and taboo and which had been essentially swept under the carpet. I commend the Nigerian press, the website magazines, the bloggers and the electronic media for standing firm, rising up to the occassion and bringing the matter alive and one can only hope and pray that they will keep the fire burning by continuing to reflect the heated discussions and various opinions on this issue.

''Like Most Married Men, I Have Cheated On My Wife'' - Femi Fani-Kayode


"I am not an angel. Like most married men I have made mistakes in the past and I have let down my wife on a number of occasions. Yet despite that I never stopped loving her. 

I never considered the possibility of leaving my wife though on many occasions she almost left me.

A lot of men think it’s a sign of virility for them to have many extra-marital affairs but I see it as failure. It is shameful and nothing to be proud of. It wounds the soul and brings so much pain that it is just not worth it.
