Femi Fani-Kayode, This Time You Went Too Far. By Lolu Akinwunmi

Femi Fani-Kayode

I have just read a tirade against Pastor William Kumuyi of the Deeper Life Ministries from Femi Fani-Kayode. I am still shocked by the intensity of the attack and the use of very abusive, caustic and acidic language.

As an African, a Yoruba man and a Christian, I consider the lengthy piece disrespectful, irreverent, unOmoluwabi, and in bad taste. I also feel ashamed that another Yoruba man of my generation would so seriously fly off the handle.

What did Kumuyi do to warrant this from Femi?

Apparently Kumuyi said instead of cursing and abusing the President, Christians should pray for him. And the cleric was quoting the Bible from 1Timothy 2.2 that commands believers to “pray for kings and those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness”.

Pastor Kumuyi was simply aligning with his doctrinal belief. He didn’t compel anyone. He didn’t abuse. He didn’t curse. It wasn’t even an admonition. It was simply an advice. No one needs to comply if you don’t agree.

Secondly, and outside of his ecumenical commitments is the issue of his rights; human rights. The constitution allows this. He has a right to even say he prefers one politician to the other. He may be a man of God, but he’s also a Nigerian with civic rights and responsibilities.

Femi in an intolerant and flagarant and illiterate misuse of scriptures and scriptural references drew obtuse lines to rubbish Kumuyi. It was not necessary. Clearly an overkill. Perhaps it would have been enough to say he didn’t agree with the cleric.

Femi disregarded all these in the most flagarant abuse of another’s rights. He spoke like a man possessed or high on some narcotics. His piece did not reflect something from a stable mind. Even if he was Atiku, and I know Atiku isn’t likely to speak to Kumuyi this way, he wouldn’t have any reasons to so speak.

Femi used to represent a generational promise. Over time he allowed something worse than partisanship to derail him. Indeed what he did isn’t pro any party or doctrinal position. I have no further words to describe it.

FEMI FANI-KAYODE GOES GUNG-HO IN HIS DECLARATION/ASSERTION ABOUT DR. BUKOLA SARAKI

Maybe the resurgence or the supposed revival of the PDP is a mirage after all, as one of her leaders in the person of the very outspoken Former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi FANI-KAYODE has blurted out his thought concerning the imminent demise of his own party, as he has faulted and condemned the qualities of one of the Presidential aspirants of his beloved party-The PDP! In the person of the current Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Olubukola Saraki.

Imagine that FFK as he is fondly called, insinuated something not too palatable in his assertion of the newest PDP Presidential aspirant, who only just declared his intention just yesterday in the words below-

So now imagine a top chieftain of the same party, now declaring that Saraki is not fit to have control of the party or its machinery! Is/are there already a division or divisions in the PDP which is supposedly the main opposition party? Are people already in different camps, ready to cling on to their own at all cost? To predict the death and funeral of your own thing, when all should be on board, working together against a common enemy is a bit steep or what do you think ? 

FEMI FANI-KAYODE REACTS TO THE ATTEMTED ASSASSINATION PREDICTION OF APOSTLE JOHNSON SULEIMAN

Former Minister for Aviation and top chieftain of the comatose party PDP, known for his unbridled tongue and unflattering utterances in the person of Femi Fani-Kayode has latched on to one of the predictions/prophesies of the presiding pastor of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleiman, who had predicted amongst his 50 proclaimations for 2018, that there would/could be a likely assasination attempt on the life of his gorgeous Ibo wife.

According to the Number 26 predictions/prophesies of the acclaimed seer- he puts it like this- "Attempt on the life of Chief Femi Fani-Kayode's wife".

In his reaction, FFK has he is mainly referred to reacted thus

"I thank the Lord for using the great Apostle Suleiman to expose the evil plan of my adversaries to assasinate my beautiful wife, Precious Chikwendu, in 2018.
The bible says the Lord “reveals to redeem”.

They shall fail because she is a daughter of Zion, she is hidden in Christ and she is covered by the blood of Jesus.

If you want a fight face me like a man and leave my wife alone. Only cowards and vermin target the wives of their critics.

No fear! No retreat! No surrender!

We are unbeatable!”.

FEMI FANI-KAYODE REPLIES SENATOR AHMED SANI WITH A BALLISTIC MISSILE OF A RESPONSE

MY RESPONSE TO SENATOR AHMED SANI AND HIS SUPPORTERS-
''If I had any doubts that the self-confessed paedophile Senator Ahmed Sani was of the devil before today I have long since shed those doubts. Ahmed is not only evil but he is also a very sick man. In any civilised society he would be either be behind bars or he would be in a mental hospital.

We as a people need to protect the girl-child from self-righteous sexual predators like him. He not only thrives on under-age sex and child rape but he boasts about it and seeks to justify it with his Islamic faith. He forgets that in 95 per cent of Muslim countries in the world today child-marriage, child-sex, child-porn and paedophilia are specifically banned and outlawed by law. Are those people and nations not muslims too? Is he a better Muslim than them? Are the Muslims of southern Nigeria in Yorubaland who have collectively refused to indulge in vile practices like paedophilia, child- marriage, child-rape and child-sex and who consider such things to be an abomination not Muslims too? As far as I am concerned they are the true Muslims and they are far better and more civilised than Ahmed Sani's brand.

WAR OF WORDS BEGINS FEMI FANI-KAYODE REPLIES DR REUBEN ABATI

FEMI FANI-KAYODE

                                               THE DELUSIONS OF TODAY'S MEN
I read Dr. Reuben Abati's article titled 'The Hypocrisy Of Yesterday's Men'' (3rd Feb.2013) which was published in virtually every newspaper in the country with amusement. He sought to ridicule and demean those of us that served President Olusegun Obasanjo's government and that are not very impressed with the performance of his boss. The fact that we asked President Goodluck Jonathan to account for the 67 billion USD that he squandered from our foreign reserves has clearly upset him. We dared to ask about the money and so we were singled out and targetted for a tongue-lashing and a long lecture from the Presidency. Yet we remain undeterred. This is how weak governments that have nothing to offer and something to hide always behave. They come after their perceived enemies with full force and they are petty and oversensitive. This is all the more so when they lack experienced hands and when they do not have anyone with deep insight or wisdom about the art of governance or politics within their ranks. In his response instead of answering our questions, addressing the issues or making any pertinent and sensible points about the numerous allegations against his principal, Abati chose to go on a delusional and self-serving joy ride. He simply refused to address any of our numerous concerns but instead indulged vainly in what can only be described as an utterly vulgar and distasteful form of intellectual, spiritual and psychological masturbation by telling us that he and his master were ''today's men'' who needed no lessons from the ''men of yesterday''. The essay was nothing but the usual smear campaign and a crude attempt to intimidate which has been the hallmark of this Government whenever they are faced with even the mildest form of criticism. I will not dignify most of the insulting and childish submissions that Abati indulged in with a response other than to say that he told a shameless and pernicious lie when he wrote that as Minister of Aviation I ''shut down Port Harcourt Airport for two years'' and ''allowed grass to grow all over it''. This is false. It is a classic case of disinformation coming from a man that is obviously suffering from a very low self-esteem.  It is clear that Abati, who is a journalist, has forgotten the most important tenet of his profession which is that ''facts are sacred and opinion is cheap''. Ordinarily one would have ignored his bitter rant but it is important that I set the record straight for the sake of posterity.
