An Ifa priest has taken to social media to strongly condemn the controversial statements made by well-known journalist Kemi Olunloyo and Pastor Tunde Bakare concerning the late singer Mohbad.
In a passionate defense of the late artist's parenthood, the priest expressed his disapproval of both individuals' comments and their potential impact.
Kemi Olunloyo had recently ignited a heated debate by casting doubt on whether the child Mohbad publicly acknowledged as his own was indeed his biological offspring.
Her comments sparked controversy and outrage among fans, as she questioned the authenticity of Mohbad's claim about the child.
In response, the Ifa priest asserted a fundamental principle, stating that when a man publicly acknowledges a child as his own, that child is unequivocally his, regardless of any biological relationship.
He emphasized that Mohbad had introduced the child to the world as his own, and this declaration should stand without further dispute.
The priest did not limit his criticism to Kemi Olunloyo; he also directed it towards Pastor Tunde Bakare, a prominent figure in religious circles known for his influential position.
Bakare had made statements implying that Mohbad deserved the unfortunate fate that befell him, a viewpoint that drew widespread condemnation and disbelief.
The priest expressed his deep disappointment in Bakare, highlighting the insensitivity of suggesting that someone should meet a tragic end based on their associations and circumstances.
In his words:
“As the priest and preacher of the gods of our land, it is my duty as prescribed by the Ifa oracle to intervene on behalf of any individual that is being harassed and oppressed by any influential person.
“That is why I’m taking on Pastor Bakare and Dr. Olukemi Olunloyo over their continuous derogatory utterances on the family of Late Mohbad, the young musician that passed recently.
“It has come to my knowledge that Dr. Kemi has been saying that the child of the late singer that he accepted as his child when he was alive is no longer his child. Let me clarify something to Kemi Olunloyo, anytime a man comes out and says this is my child, that child is his.
“Any man raising a child whether it’s his biological or not and he comes out and says that’s his child, it is his child. Mohbad introduced that child to the world as his and it stays like that, no more no less.
“What you are doing is destroying a baby’s future. Go and take care of your own child and stop seeking attention unnecessarily with other people by stepping them down, and when it comes to Pastor Bakare, he said Mohbad deserves what he got.
“For a pastor of the European God to utter such utterances, it’s very disappointing, but everybody knows Bakare to be the biggest loser of all times; he always seeks attention, and that is what he is doing.
“It’s extremely bad for him to be using that boy to be preaching and saying to the world that he deserved to die. His mother is alive, and you are making such a statement that he deserved to die because of the group he kept. That is the word of someone who has brain tumor.”
