‘There are some incoherence in Busola’s story’ – Omoni Oboli

'There are some incoherency in Busola's story' - Omoni Oboli

Nigerian actress Omoni Oboli has taken to social media to share her thoughts on Busola Dakolo accusing Pastor Fatoyinbo of raping her.

According to Omoni, she found Busola’s story to be incoherent.

“I don’t know where to start concerning the story that’s still unfolding as I write.
The Bible warns us to “be quick to hear, be slow to speak, and be slow to wrath”, and going by my personal experience of seeing how quickly many took sides without first getting all the facts, weighing it against the character of all the parties involved, given our antecedents, and then drawing conclusions from evidence and an objective comparative analysis of the accounts, rather than from emotions, envy, the thrill of seeing strife, I have waited to digest the whole matter first.
What’s her motive for speaking out? Was it just to spite the pastor in question? Was it to destroy his reputation, or gain some financial advantage? Was it to build followership through the scandal that would surely come, not knowing that the pendulum could swing in either direction, for or against her? What exactly would spur a wife of a reputable and beloved entertainer, a mother, a businesswoman, with a beautiful life, coveted by many, to come out to make this kind of accusation?

Given her antecedent of being a calm, ‘dramaless’ queen (unless Timi says otherwise), with no history of seeking attention or being overly dramatic (at least not publicly), how did she get to this point of going public at such a time as this simply to make ‘spurious’ accusations against a ‘man of God’, as some have said in a bid to sound ‘objective’? I listened to the story, and because I know her husband and his personality, I restrained myself from trying to weigh in based on the emotions that came flooding in, but here’s the thing, there was some incoherency in some of the claims, not because I believe she lied about them, but in my opinion was born out of the truthfulness of the real account. Why do I say that? Because unless you planned your own rape, the accounts are expected to sound incredible and spurious, and I suspect that’s why we don’t have so many convictions in many rape cases. Is there a manual, or rapist playbook that’s being distributed to all would-be rape victims (aka all women, and some boys and men) that I missed that gives point by point descriptions…(slide right for rest of my write up)

  1. thank you, omoni. you are among the few wise once in Nigeria. As big brother Omokri rightly said before concerning this accusation. though I am not and can not be a member of COZA, I just see this as one of those ploys of the enemies of Christianity to annihilate the Church in Nigeria and all over the earth. but thank GOD, they can not.

  2. Good bless you Ma …..the Bible says let he that has not sined be the first to cast the stone because as far as am concerned, fornicators, liars, adulterers, hypocrites and so on are not different from the rapist … nobody will tell me he or she doesn’t have an ugly past, it’s funny how we make our selves look good, and feel like we are worthy to pass judgement simply because we didn’t commit a particular kind of sin, the Bible says I will show Mercy upon whom I will show Mercy, the grace of God cannot be quantified , am totally not in support of rape but let us be guided and apply wisdom in handling every issues of life, God bless us all.

  3. what ever that may be her aim of opening up about her rape ,if actually she was raped after twenty years,she will largely share in the shame,and that shame and regret will stand before her and her family for the rest of her life.
