OAU is Currently Dealing with another Alleged Sex-For-Marks Scandal

Posted: 15 Jan 2020 09:30 PM PST


According to Premium Times, the management of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, is currently dealing with an alleged "sex-for-marks" scandal barely two years after the widely publicised scandal an ex-lecturer in the Faculty of Administration, Richard Akindele, and a student, Monica Osagie.

A 400-level student of the Department of International Relations, Faculty of Administration, Motunrayo Afolayan has accused a lecturer, Olabisi Olaleye, of sexual harassment and alleged that Olaleye failed her in a course.
Motunrayo failed the course IRS 305 during the 2017/2018 academic calendar because she allegedly refused to sleep with the lecturer, and was threatened by Olaleye that "she would fail again and again if she refuses to sleep with him" after registering for the same course in 2018/2019, Premium Time reports.
Motunrayo, advised by friends, made a voice note of Olaleye saying, "I promise you will fail this course three times except you sleep with me," in Yoruba. The friends also alleged that the lecturer had "tormented" them in a similar manner in the past.

Motunrayo sought for the assistance of a female lecturer from the Faculty of Law, who advised her to report the matter to the university authorities. Immediately as Olaleye learnt the matter had intensified, he reportedly released Motunrayo's result which showed that she had passed.

In response to Motunrayo's accusation, the university authorities set up a probe panel headed by Yetunde Ajibade, the provost of the university's postgraduate college. The panel met with Motunrayo Afolayan, Olabisi Olaleye, Sunday Omotuyi, Kehinde Olayode, Head of Department, International Relations, among others.

Motunrayo appeared before the panel alongside other female students in the department who also served as witnesses.

The accused lecturer, Olabisi Olaleye, chose to speak about the incident, but Motunrayo said she had been advised to keep mute until the university makes its decision public.

He said:

I didn't know her until the timetable issue came up. She approached me with two other ladies but I told them I could not help. I only advised them to go and write their 400 level course first and return to join us in the hall for my course.

Olaleye also told Premium Times that the delay in the release of Motunrayo's result was because a co-lecturer, Omolara Akinyemi, was busy with "accreditation issues".

Chimamanda Adichie - 'The idea of domestic work is still thought of as something that women should do'

Posted: 15 Jan 2020 09:00 PM PST

Chimamanda Adichie is disturbed that till date, domestic chores in the house is still seen as a woman's job.

Chimamanda Adichie says in many countries across the world, the idea of domestic work is still seen as something that women should do.

According to Reuters, the award-winning author made this known during a conference in the Chilean capital Santiago. According to her, women may be making strides in the workplace and public life, but still bear the lion's share of domestic work.

"The #MeToo movement in many parts of the world made it possible for women to start talking about things that women couldn't talk about, so for me, that's progress of sorts. Often, it feels as though it's two steps forward and one step backward. We are talking about it but we haven't quite found the solutions yet.


"The idea of domestic work, for example, who does it, is it something people should be paid for? In many countries across the world, it's still thought of as something that women should do. Because of that, women are doing domestic work at home and also working outside the home. Women are now doubly burdened and so what can seem like equality really isn't. In the future, we have to address that; otherwise, it will take women back even more," she said.

Chimamanda Adichie remains one of the most vocal public figures in modern times who has never shied away from advancing and protecting the rights of women across the world. Times without number, she has blatantly or sometimes used some not so nice words to express her desires and aspirations for women.

Recall that after losing her first husband, Aboderin, she moved on to remarry twice before eventually sticking with Daniel Ademinokan.

On the 10th of January, Madam Lucy Ademinokan, mum of movie director and producer, Daniel Ademinokan passed away.

Mourning her, Stella Damasus, who is happily married to Daniel Ademinokan posted this tribute on Instagram moments ago:


"So, I lost my bestie, my prayer warrior, my angel, my MOTHER IN LAW. This woman right here is the most amazing and selfless person ever. The love she had for me was just too much. I will never forget our GIST NIGHTS, our prayer time, our kitchen Chronicles, our dance moves. To say I will miss her is an understatement.

I am still in the denial stages for sure because this is still too much for me right now. The only consolation I have is that I know for a fact that you are going straight to HEAVEN. NOW, you will rest. No more SICKNESS and PAIN. I LOVE YOU MAMI LULU. Till we meet again."

Reno Omokri – King James Version of the Bible is inaccurate

Posted: 15 Jan 2020 03:00 AM PST

Bestselling Author and activist, Reno Omokri revealed that the King James Version of the Bible wasn't well transcribed.

The former aide to ex-President Goodluck Johnathan wrote;

"One of the biggest mistakes Christians make is to think that the King James Version of the Bible is an exact or evening equivalent translation of the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek Scriptures. Not true. Not true at all.

"The King James Version is similar to a version of one of many sides of an argument. When people argue, they tell their 'own side' of what transpired. As an independent and objective bystander, you will be foolish if you hear only one side of the argument and conclude based on that."

"Sadly, that is what many people do with the King James Version. And this has led to a situation where their faith is built on lies, half-truths and inadvertent errors by the translators."

"There are actually people who have said, 'If King James Version was good enough for the early church, it is good enough for me!". Such is the ignorance of many so-called Christians that they are unaware that the KJV was established in 1611, more than 1500 years after the 'early church'. Many people you know, actually think that Peter, John and Paul, among with many of the Apostles, wrote the KJV. I am not joking."

"One of the Scriptural verses that the KJV got either deliberately or inadvertently wrong is Isaiah 45:11 which reads in that version as follows: "Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me." Based on that, many genuine believers have been commanding God. Let me put it this way, it is actually stupid to command God. And the original Hebrew Scriptures never said such."

"The truth, which is clear if you read the original Hebrew, or even if you read the preceding and succeeding verses, is that God speaking through Isaiah was showing disappointment in people who were questioning His judgment. The preceding verse (Isaiah 45:10) says: "Woe to the one who says to a father, 'What have you begotten?' or to a mother, 'What have you brought to b

"The truth, which is clear if you read the original Hebrew, or even if you read the preceding and succeeding verses, is that God speaking through Isaiah was showing disappointment in people who were questioning His judgment.

"The preceding verse (Isaiah 45:10) says: "Woe to the one who says to a father, 'What have you begotten?' or to a mother, 'What have you brought to birth?'" The verse before that (Isaiah 45:9) says: "Does the clay say to the potter, 'What are you making?' Does your work say, 'The potter has no hands'?" Now think. After giving out such warnings as was given in verses 9 and 10, why would God now ask His creations, you and I, to command Him about the work of His hands? The answer is that He did not.

"Almost every other translation gives the right translation to Isaiah 45:11. I will give four below and you can compare them with the KJV: ""This is what the LORD says– the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: Concerning things to come, do you question me about my children, or give me orders about the work of my hands?"-NIV "Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and the one who formed him: "Ask me of things to come; will you command me concerning my children and the work of my hands?"-ESV "This is what the LORD says— the Holy One of Israel and your Creator: "Do you question what I do for my children? Do you give me orders about the work of my hands?" There are two verses in the King James Version which have always troubled me and made me question my faith as a youth. Those verses are 2 Kings 2:23-24 which read: "And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth litt."
