COZA: There was some incoherency with Busola Dakolo’s claims, says Omoni Oboli
Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Omoni Oboli, has said that there was some incoherency with Busola Dakolo’s claims which is “borne out of the truthfulness of the real account”.
The popular actress who is a friend of the inspirational singer, Timi Dakolo said that she restrained herself from reacting to the trending story because she wanted an objective comparative analysis of the accounts from both sides.
She further quoted a Bible verse saying “the Bible warns us to “be quick to hear, be slow to speak, and be slow to wrath”.

In a what can be described as an “analytical” interpretation of Busola Dakolo’s narrative, Omoni Oboli said unless you planned your own rape, the accounts are expected to sound incredible and spurious.
The actress also praised Busoal Dakolo for speaking out while praying that justice will prevail for all victims of rape.
Recall that Busola Dakolo had alleged that Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo raped her more than once as a teenager in Ilorin, Kwara State.
Fatoyinbo has, however, denied the rape allegation and stepped down saying he was taking a leave of absence from the pulpit.
Read Omoni Oboli’s lengthy post;
“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…
