It is hard to overstate the cultural impact of Funke Akindele’s Jenifa franchise. Since her first appearance in the 2008 movie Jenifa, this iconic character has become more than just a source of entertainment; she is a cultural phenomenon. Jenifa has evolved from a comical village girl with big dreams and broken English to a global sensation, capturing the hearts of audiences across the world. With #EverybodyLovesJenifa set to hit cinemas on December 13th, this is the perfect time to reflect on why Funke Akindele’s films are always such a delight to watch and how her creativity has kept Jenifa relevant for over a decade.

Jenifa is not just a character; she is someone we all know. Whether it is her naive optimism, her unfiltered commentary, or her relentless drive to succeed despite repeated setbacks, Jenifa embodies traits that are both relatable and aspirational. For many Nigerians, she mirrors the challenges of navigating an increasingly complex world while staying true to oneself.

Her “Engrish”, a hilarious mix of English and Yoruba, might be unpolished, but it is through her words that Jenifa’s unique wisdom and humor shine. Phrases like “Mo tigbo tori e!” and “Are you whyning me?” have become part of everyday conversations, transcending age groups and social classes.

What makes Jenifa even more compelling is her ability to find humor in the mundane and her unwavering belief in her dreams, no matter how unrealistic they might seem. She reminds us of the power of self-confidence, even when the odds are stacked against us.

It takes an extraordinary mind to create a character as enduring and dynamic as Jenifa, and that is precisely what Funke Akindele brings to the table. Beyond her acting prowess, Akindele is a master storyteller who understands the nuances of Nigerian society and how to connect with audiences on an emotional level.

Akindele’s films are never just about laughs; they are layered with themes that resonate deeply with her audience. Her works explore societal issues like education, peer pressure, and the hustle culture, all while maintaining a lighthearted and engaging tone.

Take, for instance, the evolution of the Jenifa franchise from a single movie to a full-blown TV series, Jenifa’s Diary. The transition wasn’t just seamless; it was revolutionary. Akindele’s ability to adapt the character to new settings and storylines without losing her essence speaks volumes about her creative depth.

Akindele’s brilliance is not limited to Jenifa. Her body of work is a testament to her versatility and dedication to Nollywood’s growth. From the blockbuster Omo Ghetto: The Saga, which became the highest-grossing Nigerian film of all time, to her diverse roles in dramas and comedies, Akindele has consistently raised the bar for quality in Nollywood.

In Omo Ghetto: The Saga, she brought to life the vibrant world of Lagos street life while weaving in themes of family, loyalty, and redemption. The film struck a chord with audiences because it felt real, despite its exaggerated comedic moments. It is this balance of authenticity and humor that makes Akindele’s films stand out.

The announcement of #EverybodyLovesJenifa has sent waves of excitement across social media. Fans are eager to see what new adventures await Jenifa as she returns to the big screen. What makes this upcoming release even more intriguing is its promise to explore new dimensions of Jenifa’s character while staying true to the qualities that have endeared her to millions.

Akindele has teased that the movie will not only be packed with comedy but also touch on important themes relevant to today’s society. In a time when Nigerians are dealing with economic and social challenges, a film like #EverybodyLovesJenifa offers more than just entertainment; it’s a much-needed escape and a reminder of the resilience that defines us.

One of the reasons Jenifa resonates so deeply is because her story is a mirror of our society. Through her, Akindele has captured the essence of what it means to be Nigerian. From her struggles to her triumphs, Jenifa represents the hustle, the humor, and the hope that define our collective experience.

Her character also sheds light on issues often overlooked in mainstream cinema. Whether it’s the challenges of fitting into urban life, the pressure to conform, or the complexities of navigating relationships, Jenifa’s storylines reflect the realities of many Nigerians.

For instance, her adventures often highlight the humor in cultural differences and the everyday struggles of adapting to a rapidly changing world. It’s this relatability that has kept audiences coming back for more.

A Funke Akindele film is not just a movie; it is an experience. Her ability to create characters that are both larger-than-life and deeply relatable is unmatched. She has a knack for blending humor with meaningful storytelling, ensuring her films are as thought-provoking as they are entertaining.

But beyond the storytelling, Akindele’s films are also visually stunning. From the vibrant costumes to the lively settings, every detail is meticulously crafted to immerse the audience in her world. It’s this attention to detail that makes her work stand out in Nollywood.

Moreover, Akindele’s commitment to excellence is evident in her choice of collaborators. She consistently works with some of the best talents in the industry, ensuring that every aspect of her films, from acting to cinematography, is top-notch.

In a country where daily life can often feel overwhelming, #EverybodyLovesJenifa is more than just a film; it’s a celebration of resilience and humor. Jenifa’s ability to find joy and laughter in the face of adversity is a lesson for us all, especially in these challenging times.

As we approach the December 13th release date, it is clear that #EverybodyLovesJenifa is not just a film for fans of the franchise; it’s for anyone who needs a reminder that laughter truly is the best medicine.

As Funke Akindele brings Jenifa back to the big screen, it is worth celebrating not just the character but the legacy she represents. Jenifa is a reminder that authenticity and creativity are timeless, and Akindele’s work is proof that great storytelling transcends borders and languages.

So, while we wait for #EverybodyLovesJenifa to grace our screens, let us take a moment to appreciate the genius of Funke Akindele. She has given us more than a character; she has given us a cultural icon.

And that is why, no matter the time or place, Everybody Loves Jenifa.

The recent false alarm about Chief Mike Adenuga Jr.’s death was so influential that legendary musician Ebenezer Obey felt compelled to release a song debunking it. Back in the 1980s, Obey’s hit song Ketekete narrated the story of a horse burdened by its riders to the extent that it was felt that the weight might kill the horse. It is unsurprising that the yoruba phrase ‘efe kpa ketekete’ (translated - you want to kill the horse) became a metaphor that resonated deeply and became an instant classic across yorubaland and beyond.

This time, the focus of Obey’s song was to refute the fake news surrounding Dr. Mike Adenuga Jr., a beloved business magnate, celebrated philanthropist, and Nigeria’s second-richest man based on Forbes list of billionaires.

Before Obey stepped in with his musical clarification, Dele Momodu, a media entrepreneur and afficianado of Adenuga phenomenon, had already addressed the false reports, confirming that the business tycoon was very much alive.

Born on April 29, 1953, Chief Dr. Mike Adenuga, founder of Globacom, is 71 years old. Though not a socialite, he recently hosted traditional and Christian wedding ceremonies for his daughter Afolashade first at his lavish banana lsland residence and later on October 26 at Se-Se’s Groove on Alfred Rewane Road, Ikoyi, Lagos.
It was a rare occasion for Adenuga, who seldom attends or hosts events outside his private banquet hall at home.

In my personal assesment, it is Adenuga’s preference for privacy that likely made him a target for the death hoax. Public figures like Femi Otedola, who are highly visible both on social media and in real-life social gatherings, are less likely to fall victim to such misinformation because he would have been seen in mutiple locations by lots of people before the false news purveyors finish typing the message or before the ink from the pen used in writing the falsehood dries up.

Before diving into Adenuga’s achievements as a businessman, philanthropist, and family man, it is imperative to explore the broader issue of misinformation and disinformation which have become a menace to society in a epidemic proportion. Understanding its drivers, particularly in the era of social media and Artificial Intelligence, is crucial to tackling this growing malaise.

The phenomenon of being falsely declared dead is not new; it is universal and dates back centuries. One notable example is Mark Twain, who in 1897 humorously dismissed a false death report by stating, “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”

Other examples include the “Paul is Dead” rumor about Beatles bassist Paul McCartney in 1969, Mick Jagger being falsely declared dead the same year, and Harrison Ford in 2015, when a fabricated report claimed he had died in a plane crash.

Similarly, in 2014, actor Zach Braff became the target of a hoax, and in 2012, Morgan Freeman was falsely declared dead, prompting his representatives to issue a statement affirming his well-being.

In Adenuga’s case, Dele Momodu quickly debunked the rumors, reaffirming Adenuga’s status as a living icon. Known as “The Spirit of Africa,” Adenuga has earned admiration across the continent, thanks to his philanthropic contributions that have positively impacted millions of lives.

Among the celebrities in a global context who have also been falsely reported dead is professional wrestler and actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. In 2018, a fake news story claimed he had died during a stunt mishap. Johnson responded humorously, tweeting, “I’m not dead; I’m just resting my eyebrows.”

While Mike Adenuga, the founder of Glo Telecom and Consolidated Oil, did not publicly address the rumors of his supposed death, the outpouring of support from his admirers undoubtedly touched him deeply.

These instances underscore the importance of verifying information from credible sources before spreading or believing reports about someone’s death. Fortunately, in today’s digital age, there are many tools to help with fact-checking—unlike in the past, when such resources were scarce.

The global spread of fake news, especially about celebrities, has caused significant distress, and it is unsurprising that Nigeria has witnessed its share of such incidents. For example, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Nigeria’s first Governor-General, was falsely declared dead multiple times before his actual passing in 1996. One of the most notable hoaxes occurred on June 9, 1969, when he was reported dead, and this continued for nearly three decades. Given Azikiwe’s survival for 27 years after such reports, it is possible that Mike Adenuga, also known as “The Bull,” may follow a similar path and live well into his later years, perhaps 100 years, just as Azikiwe did by living for another 27 years and well into the age of 91 after being falsely declared dead.

Other prominent Nigerians have also been targets of fake death rumors. For instance, rumors circulated that former President Muhammadu Buhari had died and been replaced by a Sudanese body double named “Jubril.” Buhari publicly refuted the rumors, affirming that he was still alive. These hoaxes, which spread via platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, were fueled by certain influential figures who want to gain social media attention and followership. Buhari addressed the issue during a meeting with Nigerians in Poland, calling those behind the rumors “ignorant and irreligious.” He also revealed that some individuals had hoped for his death and attempted to lobby the vice president to take over.

Mohammed Babangida, son of former Nigerian leader Ibrahim Babangida, was also falsely reported dead in 2010. A fabricated report claimed he died in a car crash, but it was quickly debunked. Even General Ibrahim Babangida himself has been falsely declared dead by his detractors, though he remains alive.

In 2013, a false report claimed Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, former Lagos State Governor, had died. Tinubu later released a statement to confirm he was alive and well. Today, he serves as Nigeria’s President.

Similarly, in 2015, General Olusegun Obasanjo was targeted by death rumors, but he later made a public appearance to debunk the story. Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, was also falsely reported dead in 2015, prompting him to release a statement to clarify that he was alive.

Even governors have been victims of such rumors, with Rochas Okorocha, former governor of Imo State, being falsely declared dead in 2017. He too made a public appearance to deny the rumors.

These examples emphasize the necessity of verifying information before accepting or sharing news of someone’s death. The persistence of such hoaxes could be attributed to the lack of stringent penalties, making it a growing issue both in Nigeria and globally.

For instance, in response to a tragic incident in Australia, a law was enacted prohibiting children under 16 from using social media, following a suicide linked to online bullying. This law holds both internet service providers and parents accountable. Similarly, Nigeria could consider implementing laws that penalize those spreading fake news and the media platforms that allow such content, helping to curb the spread of false death reports,for instance.

In this context, Chief Mike Adenuga Jr., Nigeria’s second-richest man according to Forbes, has now been added to the list of VIPs who have been falsely reported dead.

In many cultures, being declared dead before one’s actual passing is often linked to various myths and superstitions. Two such beliefs include:
1. Cleansing or Renewal: In certain mythologies, a false death announcement symbolizes a renewal or cleansing of the person’s life force or energy.
2. Trickster Spirits: In other traditions, the false death announcement is attributed to trickster spirits or mischievous entities that deceive the living.

These myths may seem relevant in light of the examples above. Notably, apart from Azikiwe, who lived decades beyond his first false death report, all the other VIPs mentioned—Babangida, Buhari, Tinubu, Aliko Dangote, Rochas Okorocha, and now Mike Adenuga—are still alive and we are thankful to God.

While these superstitions aren’t universally accepted, they offer intriguing insights into human imagination and cultural diversity.

The takeaway from these incidents is the importance of verifying information through reliable sources to prevent spreading misinformation.

In today’s digital age, the main motivation behind fake news is often to drive traffic to the perpetrator’s social media accounts, thereby generating income from platforms like Google and Spotify. This same incentive fuels other bizarre acts, such as posting shocking or inappropriate content like bestiality to attract views.

For media-savvy individuals, there are several ways to identify and stop the spread of fake news. Here are five tips, as recommended by Nigeria Communications Week, referencing Jumia Travels:
1. Check the URL: Fake news sites often clone trusted sources. For example, johndoe.com might be mimicked as johndoe.com.co. Always verify the URL.
2. Verify through multiple sources: Trusted outlets like Reuters, BBC, Bloomberg, or Al Jazeera are reliable for breaking news. If the story isn’t on these platforms, be skeptical.
3. Use fact-checking websites: Websites like FactCheck.org can help confirm the accuracy of news.
4. Check the date: Some fake reports recycle old news to cause confusion. Confirm the date to ensure the story is current.
5. Be cautious of sensationalism: Stories that are excessively alarming, overly emotional, or exaggerated are often fake.

For example, a false report recently claimed that U.S.-based Nigerian real estate developer Stephen Akintayo had been nominated by then-President-elect Donald Trump for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Many Nigerians believed this until it was confirmed that Scott Turner was the actual nominee.

To avoid unintentionally spreading fake news, like the false report about Chief Mike Adenuga Jr.’s death, we must remain vigilant and follow the guidelines outlined above.

At 71, Adenuga Jr. remains a prominent business figure in Nigeria and across Africa, where his companies, especially Globacom, have a significant presence. As part of my recent book launch, Leading from the Streets: Media Interventions by a Media Intellectual (1999–2019), we honored Dr. Adenuga with the Leading from the Streets trophy for his transformative impact on Nigerian businesses.

It is worth recalling that Globacom revolutionized Nigeria’s telecommunications industry by introducing the affordable per-second billing system, replacing the expensive per-minute system used by pioneers like MTN and Econet (now Airtel). Companies like Glo, Dangote Refinery, and Air Peace have also shielded Nigerians from the exploitative practices of foreign-owned firms in telecommunications, petrol refining and airliine services.

This is why we continue to advocate for the government to recognize Glo, Dangote Refinery, and Air Peace as vital national assets. Supporting these indigenous companies would help them compete with foreign corporations, just as South Korea’s government-backed global brands, such as Samsung and LG, have thrived in that country’s chaebol business model.

In this light, Dr. Mike Adenuga Jr. is seen as a national asset who must be protected from the damage caused by being falsely declared dead by malicious individuals who do so for amusement or ill intent.

Consdered from the prism of someone who trys to find a way to see positive things even in negative situations, in uncanny and unexpected ways, there may be benefits to being falsely declared dead before one’s time. That is because it is the chance to witness how others would react to one’s passing—whether through mourning, remembrance, or even scorn. So following the death hoax and the outpouring of concern from many Nigerians and Africans, telecommunications and oil magnate Mike Adenuga now understands just how much he is truly valued by others and he has had a glimpse of how (all things remaining equal) , he will be mourned when he passses away at God’s appointed time . This is a significant realization.

Most Nigerian politicians claim to be Christians, with many invoking the name of God to appeal to Christian voters during electoral campaigns. It is not uncommon for politicians to subtly campaign in churches, especially those with large congregations, with some of the big five churches in Nigeria becoming their primary targets. Yet, when these politicians occupy various political positions, whether through electoral victories or political appointments, they often fail to live up to the values espoused in the Bible. Their actions, or lack thereof, seem to contradict the very principles they profess, raising the question: “If Nigerian politicians truly lived according to biblical teachings, would the nation not have experienced the good governance that has long been promised?”  

The Bible offers clear guidance on leadership, integrity, justice, and compassion, values that should shape the actions of anyone in a position of power. However, since the return to democratic rule in 1999, Nigeria has witnessed a leadership crisis marked by corruption, self-interest, and poor governance. Despite many politicians openly professing Christianity, the gap between the biblical principles they espouse and the realities of governance in the country remains stark. This dissonance highlights a fundamental problem: if those in power were to truly live by the Bible, the nation would have undoubtedly experienced a transformation long ago.

The reason for the foregoing expectation from Nigerian politicians in Christendom cannot be farfetched as The Holy Bible is universally acknowledged as a timeless guide to moral and ethical living. With its wealth of wisdom, spiritual teachings, and practical counsel, it has shaped individuals and societies for centuries. In Nigeria, where many politicians openly profess Christianity, the Bible’s principles should ideally translate into their leadership style. Yet, the gap between what the Bible preaches and the realities of governance in Nigeria raises critical questions.  

If Nigerian politicians truly internalized and lived by the teachings of the Bible as most of them are wont to claim, particularly ahead of an upcoming election, the nation would have long since experienced a transformation marked by integrity, justice, and compassion, principles at the heart of biblical teachings. Unfortunately, since the return to democratic rule in 1999, corruption, self-interest, and poor governance have been the defining characteristics of the Nigerian political landscape.  

The Bible is replete with instructions on leadership, service, and accountability. One of its core messages is that leaders are stewards of God’s people, entrusted with the responsibility to lead with integrity and selflessness. Proverbs 29:2 states, "When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan."*This verse underscores the direct relationship between the character of leaders and the well-being of their citizens.  

Jesus Christ’s teachings, especially in the Gospels, emphasize servant leadership. In Mark 10:43-45, He said, "Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve." Imagine if Nigerian politicians embraced this model of leadership. Would the nation still grapple with endemic corruption and mismanagement, particularly in the Southern part of the country where Christians are in dominance?  

Many Nigerian politicians openly identify as Christians, attending church services and making public declarations of faith. Yet, their actions often betray the core principles of Christianity. The Bible repeatedly warns against greed, dishonesty, and oppression of the poor, vices that plague Nigerian governance.  

In 1 Timothy 6:10, Paul warns, *"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil." This verse is particularly relevant in Nigeria, where many politicians prioritize personal wealth over public welfare. The country’s resources, meant for the collective good, are often siphoned off into private accounts. Meanwhile, citizens endure hardship, with poverty levels remaining alarmingly high despite the nation’s vast natural wealth.  

The Bible places a strong emphasis on justice and equity. Micah 6:8 encapsulates this ideal: "He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."  

If Nigerian politicians adhered to this principle, the judicial system would not be riddled with corruption, and public policies would prioritize the welfare of the masses. Instead, the country has witnessed a widening gap between the rich and the poor, with those in power using their positions to perpetuate inequality.  

The failure to uphold justice has led to a lack of trust in the government. Citizens, particularly the youth, feel disillusioned, as promises of change and development remain unfulfilled. A nation guided by biblical principles would be one where the rule of law prevails, ensuring that all citizens, regardless of their status, are treated fairly.  

The Bible calls for compassion and care for the less privileged. In Matthew 25:35-40, Jesus highlights the importance of helping the needy, equating such acts to serving Him. Nigerian politicians often pay lip service to poverty alleviation while implementing policies that exacerbate the suffering of the poor.  

The persistent mismanagement of resources meant for public welfare, such as palliatives during crises, reflects a lack of genuine concern for the people. If politicians truly lived by biblical teachings, initiatives aimed at reducing poverty would be executed with transparency and sincerity, leading to tangible improvements in the lives of ordinary Nigerians.  

The Bible offers numerous examples of leaders who governed with integrity and faith. King Solomon, renowned for his wisdom, prayed for discernment to lead his people effectively (1 Kings 3:9). Nehemiah, a cupbearer turned governor, demonstrated exceptional dedication to rebuilding Jerusalem, prioritizing the welfare of his people over personal gain.  

These leaders understood that their positions were not for self-enrichment but for serving others. Nigerian politicians who claim to follow the Bible would do well to emulate such examples, aligning their actions with the principles of accountability and service.  

For Nigeria to experience the good governance envisioned in biblical teachings, there must be a fundamental shift in the mindset and actions of its leaders. Professing faith without corresponding deeds is, as James 2:17 states, *"faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."  

Churches and religious institutions also have a role to play. Instead of merely endorsing political figures, they must hold them accountable, reminding them of their spiritual obligations to serve the people with humility and integrity.  

Citizens, too, must demand accountability from their leaders, using their votes and voices to support those who demonstrate a commitment to biblical values in governance.  

If Nigerian politicians truly lived by the teachings of the Bible, the country would have experienced good governance since the advent of democracy in 1999. The Bible’s principles of justice, integrity, and compassion provide a clear roadmap for ethical leadership.  

The disconnect between profession and practice among many of Nigeria’s leaders underscores the need for introspection and genuine transformation. Until leaders align their actions with their professed faith, the promise of good governance will remain elusive. However, with a renewed commitment to living out biblical values, Nigeria can begin to realize its potential as a nation characterized by fairness, prosperity, and hope.  

In any democratic society, the Constitution reigns supreme, serving as the cornerstone for governance, accountability, and the protection of civil liberties. Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution (as amended) is unambiguous in its directives: public officeholders must adhere strictly to its provisions to safeguard the integrity of our democratic institutions. Today, Chief Godswill Obot Akpabio, President of the Senate, and Tajudeen Abbas, Speaker of the House of Representatives, stand at a pivotal juncture, where their fidelity to constitutional principles is under scrutiny.

 Governor Monday Okpebholo and Deputy Governor Dennis Idahosa of Edo State must vacate their legislative seats in the National Assembly as required by Section 68(1)(d) of the Constitution. Their continued occupancy of these positions constitutes not only a constitutional violation but a direct affront to Nigeria’s democratic ideals. This matter is a litmus test of the commitment of our legislative leaders to uphold the rule of law and justice.

 Key Constitutional Issues

1.      Violation of Section 68(1)(d):

Section 68(1)(d) of the 1999 Constitution mandates that any National Assembly member who assumes an executive office—whether as Governor, Deputy Governor, Minister, or Commissioner—must vacate their legislative seat. This provision is unequivocal. It exists to prevent the simultaneous holding of legislative and executive powers, thereby mitigating conflicts of interest. The continued presence of Okpebholo and Idahosa in the Senate and House of Representatives is a flagrant breach of this constitutional mandate.

 2. Obligation of Leadership Under Section 68(2):

Section 68(2) imposes a clear duty on the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House to declare such seats vacant upon receiving satisfactory evidence of an executive appointment. This is not a matter of discretion; it is a constitutional imperative. Chief Akpabio and Speaker Abbas are constitutionally bound to act decisively. Their failure to do so erodes the credibility of the National Assembly as a guardian of constitutional governance.

 Safeguarding Democratic Integrity

 3. Erosion of Representation:

Democracy thrives on accountability and representation. By refusing to resign, Okpebholo and Idahosa deny their constituencies rightful representation, thereby undermining the democratic foundations of the National Assembly. This is not merely a legal infraction—it is an affront to Nigeria’s democratic ethos, weakening public trust in the institutions designed to serve them.

 4. Immediate Call for Bye-Elections:

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) must act promptly to conduct bye-elections for these now-vacant seats. Such elections are essential to restoring both the legitimacy and functionality of the legislative body. The ongoing retention of these positions by ineligible individuals establishes a dangerous precedent that must be addressed immediately to prevent further erosion of the rule of law.

 Implications for Democratic Governance

 This situation transcends the specific case of Edo State and speaks to the broader imperative of upholding the Constitution as the ultimate arbiter in governance. If this breach is allowed to persist, it risks entrenching a culture of impunity, where elected officials believe they can flout constitutional mandates without consequence. Nigeria’s democracy is resilient but not invulnerable. Its strength lies in the unwavering adherence to the rule of law by those entrusted with leadership.

 6. Global Scrutiny and Accountability:

 As Africa’s largest democracy, Nigeria is under international observation. The world is watching how this constitutional impasse is resolved. Chief Akpabio and Speaker Abbas, the choice before you are clear: honor your constitutional duty, declare these seats vacant, and permit INEC to organize bye-elections for the constituents of Esan Central and Ovia Federal Constituencies.

 A Moment of Constitutional Reckoning:

 History will judge the actions taken in this critical moment. Will you choose to uphold the Constitution and serve as stewards of justice, or will you allow the rule of law to be compromised under your leadership? The people of Nigeria, democracy itself, and the global community demand decisive action.

 The time to act is now.
