Very Disturbing, Coming From Simi ‘Avenue’…

The popular street saying, “Trouble dey sleep, yanga go wake am”, loosely translated means, someone inadvertently went looking for trouble. If singer, Simi had known that her comment, or rather statement condemning rape and or violence against the female gender would lead to the exhumation of her past dark life, she would have ‘jejely’ kept quiet.

But no, the head that has been destined to receive a heavy knock, must take it even if the owner of the head decided to enter an airplane, he or she would still find a way to bring his head out to receive that heavy knock despite the fact that airplanes windows don’t open.
After Simi formed female rights activist, a very wicked Nigerian decided to do a ‘Wikileaks’ on her, and so went back to her X tweets dating back to 2012 and made them public!

One of the most controversial tweets talked about a four-year-old boy named David. In the tweet, the singer wrote about the child having a “crush” on her and asked whether she should “give him a chance,” even as she admitted that he was just four years old. Another tweet questioned whether anyone had ever used breast milk to bake a cake. There were also other tweets detailing her not too appropriate(in the estimation of the public, not T4T’s) interactions with children at her mother’s day care centre.

There is something not too okay about Simi aside her shrill voice and from her past, one is tempted to advise authorities to place her on a watch list. She may still be a danger to little boys around her.

Although she has come out to defend her past and labelled it as ‘cruise’ (a term young people of this generation in Nigeria use to cover their infantile stupidity and madness), her defence delivers little or no comfort.
T4T saw a statement by one Ayovuata Courage Uyoyou, Executive Director, Courageous Girls, Women and Children Initiative – CGWCI, on Facebook, and he could not help but agree with her.

Ayovuata said: “…when conversations about sexual violence arise, society often frames men solely as perpetrators and women solely as victims. But the resurfacing of those(Simi) tweets forced many people to confront uncomfortable questions: What if the genders were reversed? Would the reaction be the same? Would a male public figure be given the same benefit of doubt if he had made similar comments about a four-year-old girl? David, the four-year-old mentioned in the tweet, represents a painful truth: boys are also vulnerable. Young male children are sexually abused too… Yet their stories rarely trend.

Their pain rarely generates widespread outrage. If we truly care about justice, then our empathy cannot be selective. Protection cannot be selective. Outrage cannot be selective.”
T4T’s verdict: Simi needs to be thoroughly investigated by the authorities to either clear or indict her.

Is Tonto Dikeh Worming Her Way Back?
WITH the way once upon a time controversial Nollywood actress (before she gave her life to Christ), Tonto Dikeh has been dotting on her ex-husband and father of her son, Olakunle Churchill, T4T would not be surprised to hear tomorrow morning that they have decided to come together again.

On Sunday, Tonto praised Churchill to high heavens, and offered prayers for him at their son, King Andre’s 10th birthday party in Abuja.
She said: “Amazing. I just want to thank you so much. Thank you so much. I love you with the love of God, and I wish you all the best. I wish you all the best.

“I pray for your family. I pray for your business. I pray for all the children. They will progress. Failure will not meet them. Everything that they touch will be blessed. God will go before them and make every crooked path straight. Your business is replenished. Whoever curses you shall be cursed. Whoever fights you, God will fight. In Jesus mighty name I prayed.”

Tonto, Tonto, Tonto…how many times T4T call you so?
