Justice For Mohbad: Social Activist, Tenny Omoologo, Denies Collecting N1m From Mohbad’s Sister-In-Law, Karimot

Published

Turkey-based Nigerian activist and blogger, Beatrice Opeyemi a.k.a. Tenny Omo Ologo, has reacted to the ongoing controversy regarding her alleged involvement in plots to destabilize the struggle for justice for the late Nigerian singer, Mohbad Aloba. Tenny was alleged to have collected the sum of one million naira from Mohbad’s sister-in-law, Karimot Adebayo, for the purpose of suppressing the struggle, which she flatly denied. Tenny also spoke about her experience in the struggle and as an independent justice advocate.

Karimot and I

I had helped the sister of Mohbad’s wife, Karimot, in the past. She was against the people fighting for justice for Mohbad before. During that time, she was abusing Mohbad’s father and everybody that was in the struggle, but she later joined us. Sometime ago, when I was doing giveaways for my followers on my Facebook platform, there was a woman in America who came on my live programme to make a donation. My plan was to share N100,000 to my people. And this woman said she wanted to add N100,000 cash to support the giveaway. So she sent me the cash. Later, the list of the giveaway beneficiaries was increasing. When that woman saw that they were increasing in number, she said she wanted to add another N100,000. Not long after the woman made the second promise, Karimot called me and asked how much I was giving to the people. Initially, I wanted to ignore her because I knew how rude she had been to many people, even those who are much older in age. But the woman whom we all call ‘Mummy Light On’ appealed to me to give her audience. I then told Karimot that I was sharing N5,000 each to my followers. After that, she promised to add N100,000 and requested for my bank account details. I didn’t oblige her. But ‘Mummy Light On’ said she was going to give her my bank details. About five minutes after, she called while I was on the live programme and asked if I had received the payment alert, I said no. I was actually avoiding Karimot because I know the type of person she is; so ill-mannered. After I had shared money to about 80 people, I received the other woman’s second N100,000. I then called the woman to ask if the second money she sent was from Karimot but she said the N200,000 was her own money. The woman then said that Karimot reported to her that I was avoiding her. I then confessed to the woman that I actually didn’t want to have anything to do with her because of her attitude towards people especially the elderly. I said I suspected she might come for me too one day despite that I am older and had done some help for her in the past.

The money Karimot sent

On the 28th, I received a N100,000 credit alert without the name of the sender. So I called the woman to inquire about the money and she said it was from Karimot. To my shock, Karimot came online recently and said she gave me money and I didn’t show appreciation. She said because of my attitude, she has asked ‘Mummy Light On’ to return her money to her. The most annoying aspect of this issue is that people are now spreading the rumour that I took one million naira from Karimot to destabilize justice for the Mohbad struggle. I want the world to know that Karimot didn’t give me N1 million. She only sent N100,000, which even came late for the giveaway that I did. That is the main reason I had been avoiding Karimot. I didn’t collect N1 million from Karimot or any other person. The N100,000 she sent was not for me, it was sent to support my giveaway. But I have returned her N100,000 back to her with evidence.

My life as a justice advocate

I have been on the internet before the Yoruba Nation struggle. However, it is the Yoruba Nation saga that made me more popular. My experience taking part in the Yoruba Nation struggle was quite challenging. It was life-threatening. But I thank God I’m still alive. I joined the Yoruba Nation movement in 2020. I was approached by a group to join the struggle because they knew that I had been speaking about the Nigerian leadership situation on my own. They said they wanted me to join them and add my voice as a Yoruba to advocate for an independent Yoruba nation. I agreed with them because it was my passion to talk about Yoruba liberation and better life for all Nigerians. The challenge started when the EndSars protest came amid the campaign for Yoruba Nation. That protest was timely because it was actually about ending bad governance. So, it was a sort of liberation call. On my Facebook live programme, I was showing and analyzing the EndSars activities live. This didn’t go down well with some people who are pro-government. So, they would come on my show to attack, abuse and curse me.

Yoruba Nation Independence Declaration

When in 2022, they told me that they were going to declare Yoruba Nation with Dupe Onitiri and others, I saw it as a joke. On December 20, 2022, I was invited to a meeting. Some of them were already campaigning for Tinubu to be president. They called themselves ‘Asiwaju Bloggers’. I didn’t join the meeting in time. When I decided to join, I changed my profile picture and name and joined the zoom meeting. They never knew it was me. That was how I discovered that the zoom meeting was meant to drum up support for Tinubu. People at that meeting were topmost Yoruba Nation campaigners. At the meeting they decided to use their platforms to campaign for Tinubu and agreed that if Tinubu did not win the presidential election, they would return to the Yoruba Nation struggle. That experience gave me the opportunity to discover that the Yoruba Nation struggle was a scam, mere plot to enrich some people. It wasn’t a genuine liberation movement. They are using it for politics and to defraud people abroad. Most of the members who were poor became very rich overnight.

How to get justice for Mohbad

I am very disappointed. First of all, I would put the blame on the Lagos State government. When Mohbad was exhumed, the Lagos State government promised to investigate his death and ensure that justice was done. We wouldn’t be at this stage of stress and disappointment if the government had done the right thing on the boy’s death. As a Nigerian citizen I am deeply saddened and embarrassed that the Nigerian government does not act on matters that affect its citizens. Secondly, as a mother, I am disappointed in the parents of Mohbad and his entire family. We have not been able to get justice for Mohbad’s death because his father, mother, wife and other members of his family were selfish and greedy. I heard that some people have promised Mohbad’s mother a trip abroad and others have promised her cash. The father is already enjoying his life. Are you saying getting justice for Mohbad is possible with that kind of conduct from his parents? Yet their son is still in the morgue one year after. Mohbad’s parents must sit up as good parents to get justice for their son and also protect the rest of their children. Adura has started the same way Mohbad started with Naira Marley and Sam Larry team. Very soon, if they are not careful, some guys will also start beating Adura around like the other people did Mohbad. And I must warn Mohbad’s parents to be very careful. As a spiritual person, I see that those behind Mohbad’s death are still after their family.

NSA Ribadu Tells Canada To “Go To Hell” For Denying Military Chiefs Visas

Published

In a significant diplomatic snub, Canada has refused to grant visas to Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Christopher Musa, and several other senior military officers for an official event. Speaking on Thursday, February 13, 2025, at the first annual lecture of the National Association of the Institute for Security Studies (AANISS) in Abuja, National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu voiced his dissatisfaction, telling Canada “to go to hell.”

The officials were scheduled to participate in a ceremony in Canada honoring war veterans, but only a part of the delegation was granted visas, sparking strong reactions from Nigerian authorities.

Ribadu and Musa discussed the matter at the inaugural lecture of the Alumni Association of the National Institute for Security Studies (AANISS). The event, attended by security experts and government officials, highlighted national security and international collaboration.

Ribadu labeled the visa denial as disrespectful, while Musa stressed that Nigeria needs to assert itself internationally and no longer be taken lightly. Musa reflected on how his team had been invited to the veterans’ event, only to be hit with an unexpected setback when some members of the delegation were denied entry. He viewed the incident as a reminder for Nigeria to bolster its independence and strength.

He stated, “Every disappointment is a blessing. Yesterday, I was meant to be in Canada for an event to honor our veterans… half of us have gone, and half have been denied. It’s very disappointing. It’s a clear reminder that the country must stand on its own, stand strong as a nation, and should no longer be taken for granted.”

Ribadu commended Musa for his leadership in tackling security issues and underscored the importance of national advancement. He remarked, “Thank you for having the courage to say Canada denied you visas. They can go to hell. Even though it’s painful and disrespectful, we are peaceful and strong, and I agree with you that it is time to fix our country.”

The visa rejection raises concerns about Canada’s position on Nigerian military officials and its broader diplomatic relationship with Nigeria. While the exact reasons for the denial remain unclear, the incident has shed light on the bureaucratic and political obstacles Nigerian officials face in international dealings.
