You Abandoned Us For Years — Drama As Bunmi Akinnaanu’s Son Bars Father From Singer’s Burial (VIDEO).

A video from the event shows the young man confronting his father and blocking him from accessing the venue, accusing him of abandoning the family for several years.
He alleged that his father was absent throughout their upbringing and failed to show up during the period their mother battled a prolonged illness.
According to the claims, the children relied solely on their late mother, who single-handedly catered for their needs and ensured they remained in school.
In one of the clips, the son angrily recalled how his mother endured severe hardship and sickness while raising her children alone, without support from their father.
At the service of songs held in Lagos, the late singer’s first daughter, Jomiloju, also spoke emotionally about their family experience.
She described Omije Ojumi as a devoted and resilient mother who stood firm despite marital challenges and the long absence of their father.
Jomiloju said her mother dedicated her life to properly raising her children and prioritised their education, hoping they would grow into responsible adults.
She publicly pledged to look after her younger brother and guide him in line with the values their mother instilled.
“She was always there for us, even when our father wasn’t. Her focus was to make sure we turned out responsible and did better than she did in her marital journey,” she said.
“I promised my mum that I will take care of my younger brother. He will be the prayer warrior and responsible son she wanted him to be.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has argued that the North is not disadvantaged in Nigeria’s power-sharing arrangement under democratic rule.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Atiku made the statement during an interview on Arise Television, where he spoke on zoning, fairness, and political balance in the country.
He noted that since Nigeria’s return to civilian rule in 1999, the South has held the presidency for about 18 years, while the North has governed for roughly 10 years.
According to him, this should be taken into account when discussing which region has benefited more from the country’s power rotation system. He also maintained that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) remains the only major political party with zoning clearly embedded in its constitution.
“The South has governed for 18 years and the North for 10. So who is really in deficit if we are being fair? Even more broadly, the only party with zoning formally entrenched is the PDP,” he said.
Atiku also recalled the constitutional conference held during the military era under General Sani Abacha, where he led a group that opposed the inclusion of rotational presidency in the constitution.
He said the proposal, championed by the late former Vice President Alex Ekwueme, was rejected at the time because his group had majority support among delegates.
According to him, Ekwueme later acknowledged that the decision may not have been ideal during his funeral years later. Atiku added that he now believes a rotational system, if adopted earlier, could have ensured a more balanced distribution of power across Nigeria’s regions.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has spoken about the source of his wealth, saying it was built long before he entered politics through years of business investments.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Atiku made the remarks during an interview on Arise Television on Wednesday, where he explained that his fortune came from ventures across logistics, real estate, agriculture, education, and the oil and gas sector.
He said he was already a fully established businessman before joining politics and had interests spread across different parts of the economy.
According to him, his financial background has never been in doubt because of how his wealth was acquired.
Atiku also recalled his role in the early formation of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stating that he was among its key founders and also contributed financially to its establishment.
He further noted that during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, a panel was set up to investigate his activities. He said the panel included figures such as Nasir El-Rufai and Nuhu Ribadu, and that he allowed the process to proceed without relying on his immunity.
“I made my money through business before joining politics. I invested in oil and gas, logistics, agriculture and other sectors,” he said.
“I was already established in business before I came into politics.”
“I played a major role in setting up the PDP and contributed financially to its formation.”
“No one accused me of corruption because my sources of income were clear.”
“A panel was set up to investigate me, and I allowed it to go ahead without hiding behind immunity,” he added.
Atiku remains active in Nigerian politics and is currently seeking the presidential ticket of the African Democratic Congress ahead of the 2027 general election.
