It was a busy weekend for Aisha Yesufu and Kemi Olunloyo, as the two ladies fought dirty on social media in dramatic circumstances.
It all started when Aisha Yesufu, a popular activist on social media, tweeted: โNigeria does not have a President. Thatโs the grim reality.โ
Aishaโs claim did not sit well with Olunloyo, a controversial journalist, who responded, saying, โWe actually have one.โ
She further asked Aisha to โleave Nigeria if you donโt like it anymoreโ.
Reacting further, Olunloyo claimed: โThey are discussing your tweets at the DSS now. Donโt incite people. Focus on yourself and family. Donโt be a โpolitical prisoner.โ
Angered by the tweet, Aisha fired back, saying, โKemi @Kemiolunloyo itโs been a long time you brought your nonsense to my TL. Welcome back.
โPlease tell your so-called DSS contacts that they canโt do anything that kidnappers and terrorists are not already doing. Arrest me? I wonโt need to pay ransom. Kill me?
โI was born to die. Leave Nigeria?! The illegitimate President who forged his certificate and found to be part of drug dealing is the one that needs to leave Nigeria.
โVery pathetic mindset you displayed telling me to face my family. Why donโt you take that advice and face yours? By the way, my family is not made of cowards.โ
Both ladies went on and on, delving into personal details, including what they have been able to achieve.
โAisha! I will be 60 in August. I chased money way before you. In my 30โs my salary was $125K a year in Pharmacy, Journalism and PR. I managed the outpatient community pharmacy of a world class hospital Johns Hopkins, built 2 houses in 31yrs in America,โ Olunloyo tweeted.
She continued, โMy pharmacy salary alone was $50K a year at 24yo in 1988. I had no savings. I gave everything out to my family back home who were happy at my Ibiyeomie arrest. I have taught blogging 3X FREE Linda Ikeji not one time (nobody shares secrets in Nigeria). I have taught Twitter monetization 3X FREE. I have volunteered 18 mos with the @ndlea_nigeria giving drug education to Nigerians something that earned me awards from the @BillClinton Whitehouse. I did a 2 hr skitmaking class FREE on TikTok and spoke about all these on Arise News all sponsored by @2222MediaSchool.
โDo your part and donโt be a martyr. Nigeria is beyond repair. One person cannot make a difference anymore. Watch my TikTok series on every parastatal. Iโm not hating on you. Iโm thinking about your children.
โHereโs the DSS one. The rest are there. These moronic youths donโt understand shit. Investigative journalism costs money and I crowdfund but they call you beggar and want the news.
โI also gave out N700K yearly on my Twitter anniversary. I donโt do giveaways because I donโt buy fan loyalty. Random Rewards is a simple program to do simple things. Iโve given N50K twice a week now so far before I retire.
โThe youth are disrespectful and lazy. Iโm only concerned about my children and myself now. Iโm done with Nigeria. Journalists cannot work in Nigeria.
โActivism is a waste of time. Let people activate themselves. Let them carry their fuckn cross. Donโt die for them. My address and phone number leaked was my last straw. See the threats below. None can get a visa at these embassies just because they threatened a journalist.โ
Aisha fired back, saying, โKemi says she is 60 years old and now focused on chasing money. What she doesnโt know is that unlike her, I chased money first before speaking on national issues.
โI started speaking on the Nigerian issue at 40 well after I had attained financial independence.
I teach financial literacy myself.
โWhoever takes poverty speaks for others. When you are poor in Nigeria, you are nameless, faceless and voiceless.โ
