#SexForGrades: Stop playing on the trend for clout, Sega calls out Bisi Fayemi over ‘me too’ claim

Published

Sega Bisi Fayemi



Popular social media advocate and convener of the #EndSars movement, Segun Awosanya popularly known as Sega, has called out the wife of Ekiti State Governor, Erelu Bisi Fayemi, over her claim that she was also a victim of sexual harassment while she was an undergraduate in the university.

Mrs Fayemi, in her reaction to the viral BBC Africa Eye documentary exposing sexual harassment acts of four lecturers from the University of Lagos (UNILAG) and the University of Ghana, had said

“I was educated here in Nigeria and I too was a victim of sexual harassment during my university days. I was luckier than these victims.”

Sega, however, criticised the Ekiti First Lady for not taking action on sexual harassment despite being in a position to do so, as the wife of a governor and a former minister.

The advocate in a series of tweets via his Twitter handle on Tuesday morning challenged Mrs Fayemi to tell the world what measures she had taken to fight sexual harassment in tertiary institutions.

“You were the CEO of African Women Development fund that claimed to have raised millions of dollars for women empowerment, please tell the world Distinguished First Lady @bislafayemi…How many Sexual Harassment prevention Clinics did you fund? At least you’ve been FL twice now,” Sega said.

He told the governor’s wife to be sensitive and stop playing on the trend to seek clout, which according to him is “something we scold our youth for on Twitter.”

Sega wrote:

“I was at the premier of #SexForGrades documentary and must express my disappointment in the attempt to politicize a genuine presentation by desperate politicos.

“You just can imagine the kinds of knives you will find the moment a Cow’s lifeless body hits the ground. If not for desperation, why show concern here when innocent and unarmed students were murdered on your behalf & all you did was incriminate the ones the bullets missed?

“I surgically pick the events I attend surgically. I have great respect for Kiki Mordi and Charlie Northcott thus my honoring the invite. I had a long day already but it was worth it all save for the hypocritical interlude by the desperado seeking global recognition at all cost.

“You were the CEO of African Women Development fund that claimed to have raised millions of dollars for women empowerment, please tell the world Distinguished First Lady @bislafayemi…How many Sexual Harassment prevention Clinics did you fund? At least you’ve been FL twice now.

“As an organization, we have been dealing with sexual violence/assault survival for years without beating drums and in touch with organizations championing this cause but yet to see this surface in any of your speeches, programs, sponsorship or activities covertly or overtly.

“As a minister’s wife did you ever raise your voice in support for the Sexual Harassment Bill our Gender Equality Bill? HE @aishambuhari in many ways has shown her concern and commitment to a lot of issues in this region (covertly mostly) but in your case, it has been Nil.

“I wish you well however and pray that God speaks to your heart to find genuine purpose. Playing on the trends for clout is something we scold our youth for on Twitter and this needn’t be extended to First Ladies. Let’s be sensitive. #SGBV conversation is serious.

“The shooters of innocent unarmed students of FUOYE are still being shielded till date yet you pretend to cry and laugh over #SexForGrades? Student Union banned in FUOYE even after killing them. Where your humanity? I’m I the only one seeing through this grand hypocrisy?”
