A chieftain of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Ganiyu Oyedepo, popularly known as Koko Zaria, has accused his former boss, Musiliu Akinsanya, better known as MC Oluomo, of sleeping with his wives and girlfriends.
The allegation was contained in a viral video circulating across social media.
Koko Zaria, who spoke in the Yoruba language, described his years with MC Oluoma as marked by hurt, betrayal, and silence, stressing that his trust was repeatedly abused.
He claimed he was constantly attacked online by critics who saw him as disloyal, not knowing the level of humiliation he allegedly endured behind closed doors.
Koko also accused MC Oluomo of stopping his progress, adding that he has more secrets about him.
Part of his words read, “My former boss, who is completely useless, engaged in relationships with all my girlfriends, including my housewives, and yet some individuals still expect me to treat him with respect.
“I’ve been the subject of numerous online attacks, with some people labelling me as disloyal and ungrateful, but I’ve opted to pray for them, wishing that they’ll experience the same pain my former boss inflicted on me during our time together.
“He took everything good from me and didn’t want me to make progress, but I chose to remain silent. I possess many secrets about my former boss that I’m keeping to myself for the time being.
“This useless individual engaged in relationships with all my girlfriends, including my housewives, and I endured immense suffering under him, yet his associates continue to come after me, but I’m certain they won’t appreciate what I’ll reveal next.”

In a statement shared on his X handle on Tuesday, January 13, President Tinubu disclosed that the agreement was signed while attending Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week at the invitation of UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
He stated that asides granting duty-free access for thousands of Nigerian products into the UAE market, the agreement will expand opportunities for exporters, manufacturers, and service providers, and provides clearer investment confidence for UAE investors in Nigeria’s productive economy.
The President described the agreement as part of Nigeria’s ongoing economic reform efforts and said it was aimed at delivering long-term benefits for both countries.
“This agreement is the result of sustained and disciplined work led by Minister Dr Jumoke Oduwole for Nigeria and by Minister Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi for the UAE. I commend both ministers and their teams for the seriousness and clarity that brought these negotiations to a conclusion.
For Nigerians, this agreement is not abstract. It opens duty-free access for thousands of Nigerian products into the UAE, expands opportunities for our exporters, manufacturers, and service providers, and gives UAE investors clearer confidence to back Nigeria’s productive economy. This comprehensive agreement also supports our industrialisation and diversification goals and strengthens Nigeria’s position as a gateway for trade and investment into Africa.
This is the work of economic reform, purposeful engagement, and measured partnerships. The outcomes will serve Nigeria’s long-term national interest.
May the renewed relationship between Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates continue to yield sustained dividends for both nations and our peoples.”
Pastor Isaac Oyedepo, founder of the Isaac Oyedepo Evangelistic Ministries and son of Bishop David Oyedepo, has announced that in line with God’s instruction, his ministry will not collect offerings.
Church Times reported on Tuesday, Jan. 13, that he made this known in an online message it monitored.
In the video, which was posted on Sunday, January 11, Isaac Oyedepo emphasised that the ministry’s primary focus is discipleship and equipping people to follow Jesus, rather than financial practices.
Addressing the financial aspect of the ministry, Oyedepo clarified that “God gave him specific instructions not to collect offerings.”
He stated that there is nothing inherently wrong with the practice in other ministries, but “noted that for this specific assignment, his focus must remain solely on the spiritual development of the people.”
Oyedepo explained that his approach is modeled after the early ministry of Jesus Christ.
“All Jesus did during his early ministry was to make disciples; the fire fell, and they were filled and refilled. Before He left, He commanded us to do the same,” he stated.
He further stressed that spiritual growth requires a “consistent journey” through the Word of God.
“How healthy would our churches be if people were truly deep in the Scriptures?” he asked.
Before starting his own ministry, Isaac Oyedepo served for years at Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel), the ministry founded by his father, Bishop David Oyedepo.
Rashidi Ladoja, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, and Abimbola Owoade, the Alaafin of Oyo, have stirred public debate following an encounter at a public event in Ibadan on Monday.
Both traditional rulers attended the 2026 interfaith gathering held at the Grand Space, near the Oyo state house of assembly.
A video from the event, which has since gone viral, shows the Olubadan walking towards his seat beside the Alaafin, who had arrived earlier and was already seated.
As Ladoja approached, Owoade extended his hand for a handshake, which the Olubadan ignored, prompting the Alaafin to withdraw his hand.
The incident has revived long-standing historical tensions over status and supremacy between the two foremost Yoruba traditional stools.
Reacting to the development, Ibadan traditional leaders condemned the Alaafin’s gesture, describing it as disrespectful to the Olubadan and the Ibadan traditional institution.
In a statement, the leaders—comprising monarchs, mogajis, baales and prominent Ibadan indigenes—argued that Ibadanland is not subordinate to the Alaafin, adding that offering the Olubadan a handshake while seated amounted to an insult.
They called on Seyi Makinde, Oyo governor, to caution the Alaafin against what they described as a “series of uncultured attitudes” towards Ibadan traditional stools.
“Alaafin’s disrespect to the Olubadan stool and traditional institution is getting out of hand,” the statement reads.
“If Governor Seyi Makinde does not caution him, and Ibadan people, including mogajis, baales and chiefs, are pushed to revolt against his insulting actions, the Oyo monarch will have only himself to blame.”
The leaders said there are records of previous incidents they described as disrespectful conduct towards Ibadan traditional institutions, warning that Ibadanland would no longer tolerate such actions.
“Ibadan people are not cowards or lazy; we are fearless. We have only been suppressing and calming the nerves of our people,” they added.
“Ibadan people cherish their culture and traditions and hold them in high esteem. Anything capable of ridiculing these traditions will be rejected.”
They further stated that it was unacceptable for the Alaafin to remain seated while stretching out his hand to greet the 82-year-old Olubadan within Ibadan territory.
“Oba Ladoja is a former senator, a former governor, an international figure and a successful businessman,” they said.
“The Alaafin may choose not to greet the Olubadan, but stretching his hand while seated is an insult to the entire Ibadan traditional institution.”
Meanwhile, Makinde made no comment on the altercation when he shared a post on the event on his X handle.
He said the gathering gives residents of the state “an opportunity to thank God together irrespective of our faiths and fosters unity in diversity”.
He thanked the state’s civil servants for their contributions towards the development of Oyo state and informed them of his plans to “approve the 2025 promotion file today”.
