THE FALSITY OF OMOLADE ADUNBI

As an avid reader, I have read some pretty bad articles in my life, especially from supposed “intellectuals,” but none like the one written by Omolade Adunbi where he deliberately attacked the person of Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, former minister for Finance and Coordinating Minister of the economy.

Atfirst, Omolade’s piece is meant to serve as a critique of Mrs Iweala’s newbook, Fighting Corruption is Dangerous, but it doesn’t take long for the reader to realise it is more than that.Vindictive in tone, Omolade takes on the role of the trickster god, trying to persuadehis readers that there is a second layer of truths beneath what we find inNgozi Okonjo-Iweala’s book.

He clearly takes some sadistic delight in faulting what has been documented in the book. How is it that Mrs Okonjo-Iweala’s academic history, or his efforts to portray her as an over-privileged persona; a Harvard and MIT-trained woman with highly educated parents, have anything to do with her service to the country?

THIS LADY IS NOT FOR TURNING…BUT THE MAN IS

In his recent piece on Dr NOI’s book, Fighting Corruption is Dangerous, Dr Omolade Adenubi confirms that he is an intellectual lightweight hiding behind a professorial title and the name of a great institution. Why someone supposedly working in a well-known institution would engage in what is typically known as a “hatchet piece” is beyond comprehension and best left to people’s imagination. The piece is scarcely worth commenting on except that it impugns the character and reputation of a great lady old enough to be his grandmother Prof Kamene Okonjo.

Essentially, in the piece titled “The Lady is not for turning” Adenubi who identifies himself as a professor at the University of Michigan calls Prof Kamene Okonjo a liar, all but in name, since he claims her story of being kidnapped by people who told her they had taken her because her daughter the finance minister did not pay oil marketers is false. Prof Adenubi, without any proof, writes that it was just one of a regular series of ongoing kidnappings at the time.
