@LegendaryJoe Every generation, across every tribe, needs a writer like @LegendaryJoe. Revisionists are not just important for preserving history; they are essential for restoring the dignity of the present generation and inspiring the generations to come. Ẹkú iṣẹ takuntakun.
by a tyrant who feared the mandate of the people - while the likes of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu were devoting resources and risking their very lives in confrontation with the military junta, demanding justice for the detained symbol of democratic hope - what, pray tell, was our dear Mr. Dele doing?
He was doing gigs with the Abachas. He was laundering the image of the oppressor through the glossy pages of his now-extinct publication, Ovation Magazine. He feasted at the table of the man who had caged the man he calls his benefactor.
This is not a new chapter in Mr. Momodu's story. He has carried this reputation - the reputation of betraying benefactors - across decades. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu will not be his first victim; he is simply the latest name in the long register.
Mr. Dele Momodu follows the aroma of food. He always has. When MKO - whose table he customarily feasted upon - was removed from circulation, Mr. Momodu simply sought the next available table. And it did not disturb him in the slightest that the table he settled at belonged to the very Demon who had seized the man he now eulogises as a father.
Let us call things by their proper names. Let us not confuse proximity to greatness with participation in it. And let us never mistake the beneficiary of a generous man's open door for a sharer in that man's legacy. And Mr. Dele can now drop MKO's name from his mouth at this point, we now know the history and the traitorous role he played in it.
Good Morning, Severally.
He had a big circle. Loud. Always around. The moment things went quiet in his life, so did they. He rebuilt. Smaller circle this time. Every single person stayed when there was nothing to gain. He hasn't looked back. 🔥😭
