The actress took to her twitter yesterday to call out the Federal and Lagos
state government for not reacting to the electrocution of University of Lagos student, Oluchi Anekwe on September 8th. Some Nigerians weren't happy that she copied international
media houses CNN and Times magazine in her tweets and responded. I agree with her though! See their tweets
after the cut...

Omotola if i'm not mistaken you were among those who voted for buhari. So deal with it.
Let her cc the whole world till Nigeria gets better
How many Nigerian students die everyday. What about that poor gal that died from a fire inferno...it's a long list. If PMB pre occupies himself with making thousands of statements everyday to this effect, we will still be the first to name him RIP president. Haba

Emmmm aunty Tola, d plural of cattle is cattle. There's no S... Ur welcome
God help Nigeria.
Don't mind her.We know where her loyalty lies.Most of em are ready to sell this country out to foreigners coz the candidate of their choice lost.I didn't hear anything from her when chibok girls were missing,senator Yerima was marrying an underage girl & other ills that has pervaded this country for long.
Where is the school SUG & that NANS that were more interested in politics than looking after the affairs of her members? Copying CNN just rubbished whatever good intention she has
Omotola abi wetin can be so stupid somtimes she dey form say she sabi talk ewu... So Na sch cause d accident? Abi Buhari shud declare public hols for her? Biko RIP to d dead but we can blame d govt or d sch for her death, is jst unfortunate accident

Instead make them support Her, them dey enter hyper-defensive mode 😏😠
Omo sexy acting like she really cares. .*Notice me*
Has she sent condolence to d girl's family herself? ??Buhari shld do everything 4 you ...mtscheww
It's a shame! I must say this that 90% of so called celebrities are not very intelligent people, or else she will know that there is hierarchy in governance, what happened to the Chairman of the Local Govt, Permanent Secretary of the ministry of Education, the Governor of Lagos State. Calling out the president on this matter is a shame on Omotola and doubt on her level of intelligence.

she can't tag those ones nahhh @vanguard etc. because suddenly everyone seems to be scared of BABA BUHARI, So she tagged people who she knows would react without fear of a former military president.
Deo human lives should be regarded but Her own too much
She wey know better how many lives she don impacet?
She know more than attending events with her daughters?

The thing is, Nigerians watch and advertise more on CNN than on NTA. Other countries I see on CNN only promote their tourism there, we place our everything there from banking services to what have you.
What do u xpect both the state and FG's children don't school here so how will they care or value us. The change is careless
Omotola doesn't get scripts ,hence her seeking relevance
You even made a bigger mistake by trying to correct one. # who are they working for? Cattles, aliens. That's a big insult to the president of the federal republic of Nigeria. No need to tag foreign media, not necessary
Mostly yorubas making senseless tweets, cos of a plate of porridge dey r turning into d general's fools. What if she was ur sister idiots. Plss omosweets carry go jare
Notice me or I die. Madam 'I sha must talk'
Omotola went to far by tagging those international networks.. She fucked up .she didn't reason like an adult
My dear omotola why expecting them to react when there golden children are schooling in england and america,to them reating or making a statement is like wasting a precious time.
A government of chando,sham,docile and heartless selfish men that only think about the money the we loot for the unborn generation.may God console the family of the girl.
Linda post it or not that's your business.
#sad indeed
She absolutely did the right thing, nigerian lives dont matter to this bastards so the more we cry out hopefully something will be done
I have know omotola as a coward right 4rm time. She doesn't nid 2 involve foreign media @all. Is like a slap on MR PRESIDENT face, yuck. How did she know dat d school is not talking any tin about d matter? Is not dat she's a lecturer she kips on poke nosing into people's matter jst bcos of fame. Learn 4rm Genevieve Nnaji.
Well...
Linda agrees with anything against BUHARI, Why am I not so surprised. Stop this political bandwagon. it only cause division and hatred. Buhari is the president now, deal with it.
I think I kinda agree
At least, is a human being now.
She speaks d truth but she goofed by copying foreign media, and for those who say govt need not issue a statement cos d deaths are frequent, govt usually issues a general statement for a random or massacre/genocide. Since this is specific and from a federal property/school, a statement is imminent.
Na ovasabi omotola jst do its nt like wat happnd to her was anybody' s fault as much as i'm nt happy ova d gurl's death still we do not expect d government to address every death in naija my condolences to d gurl's family
CNN and TIMES were staunch #CHANGE cheerleaders so they ought to know.
Honestly Linda, I still can't forgive Jonathan on not releasing a statement on Aluu4. Something as terrible as that.....hope Buhari. Takes a cue from Obama #livesmatter
Abeg she should rest! Its sad that the girl died but omotala has made no sense! The school schoukd issue a statement. If the presidency is to issue statements on every life lost then how many statements a day would we have? This one wasn't well thought at all
Why copy CNN and TIME
Pwhen was the last time you cared to ask of the Chibok girls.You should have cc NEMA and not PMB.don't kill the man b4 his time please
Omotola! U are an actress, use ur common sense judge this matter and don't be sentimental. The Presidency should not be tossed around like a maid. Too bad a life was lost. But turn the table around, how many people have access to you, how many tweets or messages do you respond to? The president can't be everywhere.
To say the least, you CC international bodies, so they can flog our president abi? Do you know how many people who die per second in America? I guess Obama has an automated sympathy letter he writes to everyone. The fact that the presidency is willing to hear and be available to everyone all in the name of democracy, does not mean we all should not do our part.
You are a Nigerian, send a sympathy note on behalf of the president, perhaps you could be considered for a political position someday! Keep at it MRS sexy!
Lol @ must you disgrace Nigeria? I love the replies.
But how does that affect Buhari, biko
BRAINLESS NOLLYWOOD ACTRESS DOING TAKING MORONIC ACTION AS USUAL.
SHE HAS USED ALL HER BRAIN FOR BODILY BEAUTY...how da hell do you expect Her to understand matters of National interest... 'tofiakwa'
My tots too, y call out CNN nd time. Omo dis is crass
I sincerely believe Omotola should have shown more maturity as regards this comment. So only Lagos is her Nigeria? What of the four women that were found dead in Anambra State? What of the accident that claimed lives along Oturkpo-Enugu expressway? The University is a government on its own and must take responsibility. Thats how to build and develop the so called 'strong' institutions. Yes the govts later.
Is because naa..IGBO person....and she is not .....APC.....GOD is looking at them .
This is the problem with not having a minister of Education. This sad events falls under the jurisdiction of the Fed government, the state government has a moral obligation to have addressed this situation also and they should have. No excuse whatsoever for both Lagos states and the federal government.
She shouldn't have cc Cnn or times, is not necessary abeg, we have nigeria media.
If FG keep reacting to every death, there will no time to develop this country. The school management should be called out.
She shouldn't v involved foreign media, RIP poor girl
She shouldn't v involved foreign media, RIP poor girl

Omotola go and rest.....
Why won't she cc international media, when our local media is too scared to tell the leaders what they need to know?
I agree with Omotola, our government has no respect for her citizens.
<< LIB Addict >>
My God. Nigerians are animals sha. One life lost means a lot. She is very right for copying the whole world to show our Government does not care about us. Sad sad sad
Critics are so real!!
Hmmmmmm...
Lord help and save us frm untimely deaths and I pray we don't ever experience dis in our lives.
Why should they show any sympathy when she is not Iyabo or Aisha. Idiots!
Rosie Said....... My Sister Omotola, The issue is not about Twitter or making comments. Its about people and organizations paying for their negligence, period. This our attitude of protesting,marching and talking means nothing. What needs to be done is sue the hell out of Unilag,PHCN and the government of Lagos state, if the lawyers also like, they can join the Federal government. As soon as we as citizens start making organizations pay for their negligence,they will learn. Am sure that God is Good transport did not take Dangote to court to ask for damages for all the lives lost in their accident and all those other people that containers fell on. How and why will all these people not go scott free and then make others feel that they can get away with anything........... All this noise means nothing,making offenders pay big time works,Period.

Copying CNN and TIME clearly proves this was no sincere advocacy for a genuine cause. Mrs Ekeinde was definitely more interested in selling herself not minding how far under she ends up throwing her country and its leadership. No surprises there at all, after all same international media has the dubious distinction of picking and choosing (from afar) for us Africans who amongst us is worthy of recognition and high praise. Their propaganda says she's an uncommon breed, so of course she must show loyalty!
She did not copy the local media,yet she copied the international media,i hope she's not seeking for fame?
That is very stupid of Omotola. A celebrity of her calibre, how many times has she called out GEJ? Did she lend her voice for the CHIBOK girls.
Where was she when MUNA OBIEKWE died? Did anyone call her out? She wants to be on TIME magazine awards list or what. Crap!
Omo sexy you're just a retard! How many lives are lost to accidents and other freakish means daily? So govt should busy themselves with making statements
Omotola we aware it is a bad situation and we need the government to act but don't use this as a platform to seek attention in other words don't be an attention whore! thank you
Its only by God's grace an average Nigerian survives in this country. Smh
What of those who are robbers killed? Kidnappers murdered? Hunger murdered? Bombed? This has nothing to do with Federal Govt if at all State and local governments plus school authority Tola reactions was unnecessary maybe seeking some attention
Lets be realistic here....does the government owe anyone a statement for an unplanned situation?
Its unfortunate what happened to the student in question but it was unforeseen .Would you people expect a statement if the electric wire missed her or even fell to the ground with no one in sight?
Though her intentions are good, Omotola should get her facts straight. A president or Gov does not comment on every incident. If it was a terrorist attack, then it's a federal issue. I'm not trying to belittle what happened but biko, it's the school management that you should be reproaching and not the government biko
i think they're right, she shouldn't have CCed international media... it's just a case of "good cause, wrong approach"...
i think they're right, she shouldn't have CCed international media... it's just a case of "good cause, wrong approach"...
Hope she has gone to the girls family for condolence visit. May her soul Rest in peace. Amen. The president also care sorry
Abi sister omotola e reach ask o
Totally agree with her
For window blinds, wallpaper and curtains please call 08160856785.
Dnt mind d emotion driven president. Itz cos d late first class student is ibo, God rest her soul
Must it be a Unilag death before govt react or take necessary measures? Guess this thespian is missing the point and argument.
Abeg media is media wether local or international, this country's lack of value for human lives deserves international intervention, it's so bad that if the deceased do not av the funds to take this up, no one will be sued or even queried for abandoning a life wire to dangle in a campus, it's not their business, it's not their child after all, please considerate and responsible Nigeriansike Omotola should keep calling out for us, I'm being honest coz no one knows Hu is next...
Nigerians life don't matter to them what they all care about is the money. useless set people ,ritualist what do expect from people who serve devil and worship money.
A good country leader or president will immediately start enquiries of some sort. If it was Buhari's granddaughter, there wouls have been a mourning day. Any real mum will react.
Omosexy is a silent activist, every one making a statement against her do so because, they are not connected to the dead student and they think like cattles and aliens. How do you even reason? Asking if he will make a statement on every single death in the country. When your children leave home to Uni, the Uni has some responsibility towards the students. The state governmement has a part to play and the Federal government can step in.
The Chibok girls would have been swept under the rug, if not for media intervention!
All the nama nama brain, u'all need re-education on caring for citizens, nit just your own belle and your own family. Phew!!! W e will get there. Omo well done.
Afterall, come issues have been flagged via Linda Ikeji platform and dealt with immediately.
The blame is now falling on her side
They can't make statement for every accidental death. Although this is govt fault due to poor infrastructure but still many citizens died today because of these things and making statements for each date is not realistic.
I understand her action but she wouldn't have added CNN and Timemag.. Itz a national affair.. She just gave them reasons to criticize Nigeria
What stupidity...so the federal government should make a statement for every death in the country?! You know how many ppl don die for naija today? To show that she's only seeking publicity she cc CNN and time....that's says a whole lot. Na CNN wan come investigate matter for naija? Some ppl sha
Chai linda dis time diff is killing us! We no fit comment, we no fit read comments! Meanwile omosexy, no life is greater than others! Plenty Nigerians have died out of smone's negligence to duty, so calling out foreign media houses won't make it better either.
Linda kpachara anya gi! Lota ebea
Thank God u are also a Nigerian
Which one concern TIME, CNN, even PMB pls the sole concern shd come from the University of lagos state.
~D great anonymous!
Omotola stop looking 4 attention pls! Face ur acting or better go sleep! Gosh!
Omotola pls stop looking 4 attention! Gosh
Omotola seriously looking for attention! I didn't expect dis from u Gosh u make me sick. I thot u are intelligent I didn't know u are so foolish. Abegi go sleep joor. I love all d comments here.
OMOSEXY DATS WHY WE LOVE YOU ......BIG SISTER FROM ANOTHER mother ....# i BLOOD, she don't have.....y BLOOD
KEEP QUITE THERE............YEYE DEY SMELL, IF NA SOCIAL MEDIA BUHARI GO COME MAKE PROMISES..NOW WORK DON START WE NO SEE OGA PRESIDENT AGAIN......ABEG ABEG MAKE UNA LEAVE OMOTOLA ALONE COS SHE IS RIGHT,I CAN CLEARLY SPORT THE DIFFENCE BETWEEN JOHNATHAN AND BUHARI...THE ANSWER IS (1) E NO HAPPEN FOR HAUSA LAND, (2) THE SAID STUDENT IS NOT A YORUBA GIRL FOR AMBODE TO ACT ON. GOD IS WATCHING EVERYONE OF US.
whoever agrees with Omotola is BOOT LICKING, because plenty lives matter - has she tweeted about every raped girl in the city? every kidnapped girl, sold off boy. You can't be trying to apply pressure on pressure. People die everyday unfortunately its something we have to live with, they matter - just that statements cannot be released every minute - let their schools and the Broadcatsing corporations handle that.
Hey its d sexstarved fool. Out to dance in d market square. Take a twirl for us bitch.
-Bisola
i dnt see any thing wrong with wat omotola did. if those wires were properly taken care of the lady in question wud not die. i think this is negligence on the part of the school authority. the state and federal government wud have summon the chancellor of the school and profer a solution rather than remain mute about the issue.
that people die every day is no news' but a student dying as a result of negligence and should be questioned. @ omotola thumbs up.... next time cc obama
CNN has different ad revenues on different continents. Why do u think they make so much money? European banks are advertising on CNN in d european & asian markets where their bank exists. Catch my drift?
-Bisola
One can only use social media to right the wrongs. In my own opinion, i don't see anything bad in alerting the whole world that our govt/leaders are careless about their people.
If a student is electrocuted (dead) in the school, it will not make news but if a senator is involved in a motor accident (still alive) it will make news and people will be calling the senator for selfish interest. Now tell me whose life is superior to the other?
We have to at all times, use the social media wisely to expose the evil that abound in this nation at all level.
Pls don't continue to die in silence. Speak Out.
@realomosexy ride on.
My mind, exatly! She wants an invitation from the queen too. Too bad some of us put personal interest above our collective interest as ppl. So help us God!
Omotola did very well. I support her too. Nigeria neglects a lot of important things. Thank u omosexy
Do you even follow Omotola at all?
You didn't read her tweets about Chibok girls? Wow!
When the issue of child marriage was raised, I was out of the country and had no idea what was going on but through Omotola's consistent tweet with the hast tag #childNotBride I got to ask questions and was educated on the child marriage bill.
what about GEJ days... Omotola stood with the few artists who didn't dance "skelewu" with politicians.
everything is not about loyalty, we all want a better Nigeria, where much value is placed on the life of an average Nigerian, irrespective of Religion, tribe or political affiliations.
<< LIB Addict >>
Thank you my dear. CNN was chief campaign media for change, so they ought to know what is happening in Nigeria after the change has been realised.
<< LIB Addict >>
I totally agree with @DonPafegs. He cant be having press conference because of one death, so many people die everyday.
Why are y'll being so sentimental?
Not like this was some random death, this girl was a first class material in a FEDERAL university,
she didn't die under normal circumstances, she died as a result of failure to monitor and maintain facilities in/around the school campus. Her death can't be likened to that of a student who slept under normal circumstance and failed to wake up in the morning (died of natural cause).
The president may not owe her a condolence message but the school and the ministry of education should have been sensitive enough to issue one.
<< LIB Addict >>
The Nigerian media that is too scared to tell the government what it should know?
<< LIB Addict >>
I agree.
<< LIB Addict >>
i, so disappointed in Omotola. I mean I expected so much from her and i'm seeing this. what happened to the state and local government? Does she even understand the 3 tiers of government and their different duties? Omotola, abeg! go back to school
I totally agree with you! This is the most senseless thing she ever tweeted. It's stupid, thoughtless n crazy! I feel bad for the live of the young lady lost but expecting mr. President to leave other pressing matter that can kill thousands n issue out a statement concerning a single live lost, is totally not right n I personally would consider that bias given the number of pple who lose their lives daily in Nigeria. Pple shld think b4 writing.
Who and who Omotola copied her expression is not the issue here. She has made her point, and it is clear enough. Hiding our errors in this country has kept us far behind development. We do not want the world to know our weaknesses, and yet we want to know what happened in USA. Is it not an irony?
Just tell me how we shall express our condolence to Anekwe's family or to Unilag community or friends and classmates of late Miss Oluchi Anekwe? She was a first class grade in Accountancy Department of Unilag, and was dreaming of coming out with the first class colours next year, but that is gone, and will be forgotten soon, for no faults of hers.
The authority of Unilag should immortalize her name as a scholar we have lost. She could have been the female president Nigerians are looking for in the future.The new scholar hostel under construction can be named after the late girl to keep the name alife in our mind. We loved her, and have now lost her.
when will Nigerians appreciate the gift of life....
Internationalizing the death of an innocent student due to faulty infrastructure,which was treated with levity by our leaders is in no way extreme.
Wasn't chibok girls kidnapping internationalized?Why should we downplay the death of an a potential first class female.
is there no substance in her comments.her tweet can revolutionize the attitude of Nigerians ushering a better country for us all.
Appreciate life
The skul authority n as wel as LSG,FG ar 2b blamed 4nt renderin a single word, aftal ar dey ought to be concerned abt d warefare of d pple cos d pple made made dem wђã† dey ar today Yes, n abt mdm omotola she is abxolutly rit, d fact dt she made it knwn tru d interntional media atleast wil teach government hw to value der subject, n infact if if ol our governmnt misdeeds hs alwaiz bin broadcast by d internatnal media I believ by nw dae wud ad a chanGe 4beta
Omotola.. u try buh Cnn nd times wasn't needed.. na so u say make dem scrap nysc.. is it cos u didn't serve.. abeg go learn abt hierachy nd how things are done.. definitely d president should attend all funeral.. lots of killing abroad.. even d police shot at civilians abroad, no press breifing from the president.. if buhari starts dis now, u say he isn't facing what he came for.. if u re vexed or angry don't punch the keys of ur phone to post.. rip to the girl
@Mose,Chai u be case! Lol.
@Omosexy u made an impressive point,but u went too far by cc TIMES n CNN !! I knw u tryna stay relevant globally;plz take a cold pill u hear?? we still lurr n respect u like kilode!!
My tot exactly.
To tink she was smarter dan dis...Smh
Dis one na notice me or i die ooo! Lol. i wonder d kind Ego wey dey swell her brain anytime she wan shade 4 twitter???
Omosexy u jst fall my hand big time!!
It's shouldn't my dear sophy.tnk me larra!
wink
u can say dat again.lol
Looool @so dey can flog our president abi?
And ur omosweet is from d west side....u see ur life outside?? idiota.
You are simply unreasonable... ask me why? ( 1 ) I thought you were a reasonable person until I read your second comment which tells us all that you are in Genny's camp and u looking for any slightest opportunity to insult admirable personality like Omotola. She is a good ambassador of Unilag and am sure they are proud of her
As much as i respect omotola i have to admit this is a very wrong thing to do.She shuld know better.what is the point of calling CNN and TIME to this issue?it doesnt resolve anything.i am forced to say that was a very stupid thing she did. Just whistle blowing our affairs to strangers who will only use it to create headlines.I know its very sad but in the midst of many isssues confronting the nation right now is she expecting the president to start seeing to electric poles,she shouldnt be using tragedy to create attention to herself bcos i think thats just what shes trying to do.@least the school has authorities that can address the issue.
The federal govt should look into this matter because its really sad. However its very wrong of Omotola to do what she did... The problem with Nigerians is that we always like to wash our dirty linens in public. Why must she CC CNN and other foreign media? Does she think they are really going to do something for a citizen that is not theirs. Nigerians please receive brain and learn to love yourselves and your country.
Gosh two of you are the reasons some men have no respect for women. A girl died due to clear negligence N a sensible celebrity talked about it bringing light on the matter N you are complaining. Wow!
Yes the school caused the accident. When the wire was having problems why wasn't it fixed. Don't you know there is money allocated for such yet there are people comfortably enjoying it. Gosh Nigerian mentality is bad
This wasn't an accident. This was negligence. In Nigeria human life us so cheap.
