An author, Odega Shawa has dragged Reno Omokri for poking holes in Busola Dakolo’s story after she revealed that she was raped and disvirgined by the senior pastor of Common Wealth of Zion Assembly, Biodun Fatoyinbo when she was a minor.
Reno Omokri in a lengthy post said he doesn’t believe Busola Dakolo’s story even though he isn’t a fan of Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo. He said of Busola’s interview, that even the most useless Nollywood movie director won’t accept such a plot.
“For The Body of Christ, Not For Pastor Fatoyinbo
I have NEVER liked Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of COZA for reasons that I will not say publicly. However, I am mature enough to divorce my emotions and be led by logic. And I counsel those now condemning him to do the same. The average Black African is easily moved to hysteria by excitable emotions. This is why it is RIDICULOUSLY easy to manipulate Africans with the media Satan does his best work with such people, who can’t suppress emotion in preference to logic.
Think. Dont emote.
“A pastor comes to your house early in the morning. He does not know who will open when he knocks, or who is at home. He knocks and immediately you open he pushed you to a chair and raped you in your pyjamas. Do people think? Even the most USELESS movie director wont accept such a plot in a B rated Hollywood/Nollywood/Bollywood movie. A movie has to have PLAUSIBILITY. I dont like pastor Fatoyinbo, but I won’t suspend my intellect because of my dislike of the fellow.
“After he allegedly raped her, she kept quiet for enough time for him to go to his car and get a soda drink for her? It does not ADD UP. My dislike for Biodun Fatoyinbo won’t make me become a SLANDERER by default. This story rings very FALSE. I am an advocate of morality. For years, I publicly preach against premarital and extramarital sex. I pastored a congregation in Abuja for years. I will NEVER, EVER, support RAPE. But satan is going about like a roaring lion seeking whom to consume!
“Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo is SLEEK. Too sleek for my liking. What type of sleek man will rape an underaged girl in HER PARENTS HOUSE. While HER SIBLINGS are AT HOME. And then leave her to go get a drink from his car. Is this mass HYPNOSIS. Do we Black African of the Nigerian variety think at all? Do we only exist in the soulish realm? I have a Masters in Law from England. The story CANNOT stand up in court. The story CANNOT stand up in the light of cross examination.
“I give you my word that if you gave satan 10 minutes to manipulate the minds of Nigerians, he will get a sizeable number of Nigerians to believe that Jesus is evil and he satan is good. We are too gullible, excitable.”
Expectedly, like most, Odega Shawa was disappointed by Reno’s submission on the interview and didn’t hesitate to let out his disgust via n open letter to the former presidential aide. Odega Shawa said that if Reno’s brain was working, he would have reached out to Pastor Fatoyinbo first to ask for an explanation before rubbishing Busola’s claims.
Here below is the letter Odega Shawa wrote to Reno Omokri:
OPEN LETTER TO RENO OMOKRI ON BUSOLA DAKORO’S STORY
Dear Reno Omokri,
Osheey! Triple tuale!
Thank you very much.
Mr Too Much Sense.
Mr Logician.
Mr Perfect Reasoner.
You have dissected Busola Dakoro’s story and came to the conclusion that her story, as we say in Nigeria, get comma. Her story should not be valid, because according to you, it cannot be valid. Mr FBI Forensics dissecter of rape cases involving randy pastors and 16 year old girls. It is because of rape enablers and victim bashers like you that the rape culture in Nigeria is not shaking, nor do closet rapists and sex perverts find anything to fear.
Like other shocked Nigerians I read that nauseating so called reaction where you were blaming a 16 year old girl for falling under the sinister influence of a, according to you, in your own words, ‘sleek’ operator. Why didn’t you come outright and blame her for being raped. Oh, well, you sort of did, didnt you? In your pathetic attempt to discredit a 16 year old victim of rape by a pastor who was supposed to be in charge of her spiritual growth, a pastor with now multiple allegations of rape from different women, you have resorted to bashing ‘Nigerians’ for their inept ability to believe anything they hear. It is now an in thing to bash Nigerians over the head for being the worst of this or the worst of that. And you of course are not like these Nigerians. You are a saint with your complete brain working.
But if your brain was completely working you would realize what it takes from a woman to go public with a story of rape. If your brain was working, as you exempted yourself so sanctimoniously from the rest of us that our brains are not working, you would have calculated the psychological toll it takes from a woman, or anybody for that matter, to go out to the world and declare that they have been violated.
Dear Reno, if your brain was working you would even have called or reached the pastor for his own side of the story before you start running your mouth against a happily married woman who finally found the profound inner courage it takes to tell a difficult and heavy story. She is married now, with her own children. She has daughters now too. For her daughters, this could be the greatest power their mother could speak to their lives.
But your working brain did not calculate any of this, did it? You were more interested in the blow by blow account of the rape, as if anybody with a REAL functioning brain will accept the story of a so called man of God with a string of different women accusing him of the same thing over that of a mother with eyes on her daughters. Trying to make sure nothing like what she went through ever comes near them.
You have daughter(s) too, don’t you, Mr Reno? They will be 16 at some point, won’t they? Mr Crime scene investigator extraordinaire. My only prayer for you is that God keep your daughter(s) as far away from pastors like the one you are enabling as possible, amen. As a father it is inconceivable how you failed completely to factor in how impressionable a 16 year old could be in the presence of an overbearing influence in that so called reaction of yours.
It is a pity that you have the kind of power of reach you do have and all you could do with it is bash the victim of rape. And all you tell us is that you also do not like him. You better like him o. Because i don’t see the difference it makes whether you like or don’t like him when you have refused to see the obvious.
And to every victim of rape out there, pls. It doesn’t matter how long it happened in the past. It does not matter whether it would sound believable to functioning brain forensics masters, or not. Pls always find the courage to stand and tell your story. All of us cannot be mad together at the same time. There would always be someone who would listen to you, who would hear your story, who would connect with your pain. You are the hero, not the rapists and their functioning brain subtle enablers.
There are women who lie about rape. They say it happened when it did not. Yes. If you have ever suffered rape never let silly and misguided women like that stop you from standing up to tell your own story. All rape stories are not the same. Your own should be heard, no matter what, to the end that the rapists should start shaking when the word is mentioned.
Thank you, Busola Dakolo, for telling your story.
I, Odega Shawa, stand with you.
Odega Shawa
