Fan calls Kunle Afolayan ‘a fool’ for endorsing Governor Aregbesola second term

 kunle Afolayan
Nollywood film maker, Kunle Afolayan was recently attacked on Instagram for showing support for Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola.

Over the weekend, Afolayan posted a picture of the Governor and wrote ‘A typical example of a true leader and Good Governance. I Kunle Afolayan hereby endorse Ogbeni as a visionary and competent leader. Make your vote count.

About an hour later, one Dada Timilehin commented on the post, calling the film maker a fool. He wrote ‘@kunleafo,you are such a fool,am so sorry for expressing my feelings towards you+mind the state you dey,@aregbesola doesn’t worth it#teamomisore#myb@kunleafolayan’ he wrote. After being bashed by Afolayan’s fans, he later apologised and wrote, ‘So sorry@allyou,this man doesn’t worth it,thats just it’.

Afolayan hit back at him saying: ‘it’s so obvious you are the fool for apologising after running your mouth and it shows in your sentence how learned you are. Omo alaileko’ to which Dada replied: ‘na Gabriel afolayan you dey refer to,as for you fools like kunle afolayan,#shutthefuckup#’.

Fans and colleagues including Yomi Fash Lanso and DJ Tee have since advised Afolayan not to further trade words with Dada, ‘Kunle o, pls don’t reply anybody..just ignore, na cinema me and you dey think o, sho gbo ooo…ONE LOVE‘, DJ Tee wrote..

 Baba Suwe and his Lawyer Bamidele Aturu



Popular Nigerian human rights lawyer Bamidele Aturu has passed away....

Aturu is reported to have died in a Lagos hospital on Wednesday, July 9, 2014, following a brief illness.

He was 49-years-old..

A civil rights lawyer, Aturu was well known for picking up and fighting for human rights causes. He was a founding member of Democratic Alternative, a political group committed to pursuing deep-rooted democratic principles..

Aturu who studied law at the University of Ife, recently turned down his nomination as a member of the on-going national confab, explaining that the conference was designed to achieve nothing....

Aturu was the defence counsel for Yoruba actor Babatunde Omidina (Baba Suwe) back in 2011 when the Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) arrested the popular actor for allegedly trafficking cocaine. The actor eventually beat the well-publicized trial, which lasted for close to a year....

May his soul rest in perfect peace. Amen!!
