Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola-Salako has given an account of what it cost her to stand with President Bola Tinubu during the 2023 elections.

In an interview with Behind The Fame TV, the actress, who recently lost her mother, disclosed she lost two lucrative ambassadorship deals worth ₦10 million and ₦15 million, respectively, because of her political stance.

According to the actress, the backlash from the Obidient movement didn’t just hit her pocket, and it nearly tore her marriage apart.

Foluke Daramola reveals she almost lost her marriage after backing Tinubu in the 2023 elections.

She stated, recalling the sacrifices she made without receiving a dime for her support.

“I almost lost my marriage… but I voted my conscience and my choice,”

“This was not the plan” – Daramola Foluke, who served as the media assistant for the Performing Arts Directorate of the APC’s 2023 presidential campaign council in Lagos, said she backed Tinubu because she believed in a youth-focused agenda.

However, two years later, she noted the administration has taken a different path, one that sidelines young people in major decision-making. She lamented: “He didn’t follow the plan… this is not a youth-inclusive government.

The plan was to carry as many youth as possible” The actress also criticised the government’s decision to remove fuel subsidies. She stated that the move has worsened fuel and food prices nationwide.

The actress added: “That’s what spoilt everything because that’s what is making everything expensive… fuel, food,” she explained, adding that proper youth engagement could help shape better policy ideas.

Foluke stressed that genuine involvement in government projects allows citizens to track progress and take ownership of solutions, but claimed Nigerians are simply “hearing things happen” without being carried along.

A student of Osun State University, identified simply as Ademola, has narrated how she was assaulted after some some soldiers from the Army Depot, Osogbo invaded the halls of residence of students of the university.

Ademola, in a video shared by OsunDefenderNG, said the incident occurred while she was alone in her room preparing a meal.

According to her, she initially noticed the presence of soldiers around the area, but believed the situation had calmed down before the officers allegedly returned.

Recall that on Monday evening, some soldiers from the Army Depot, Osogbo, invaded halls of residence occupied by students of Osun State University, assaulted several students and carted away more than 60 mobile phones and other electronic gadgets.

Some female students were also reportedly stripped naked and forced to dance unclad by the soldiers, who were said to be among personnel that participated in the Army Depot’s passing-out parade held last Saturday.

Recounting the incident, she said, “My name is Ademola…, a student of Osun State University. I was in my hostel room cooking when I noticed they (soldiers) were around. After a while everything died down. However, later, we started hearing noise again.

“They started pointing their touch to my room and asked who was there and what were they doing this for. The next thing, they asked me to open my door and I opened the door.

“So, one of them asked how many of us was inside the room and I told him two. I also told him my roommate wasn’t around.”

While her emotions betrayed her, Ademola alleged that one of the soldiers then became physically aggressive.

“Then, he pinned me to my bathroom door, told me I would like it. He also told me not to shout. So, I begged him.

“I had to look for a way to get out of his hold and moved to the door. On moving to the door, I told him to move out. He asked if I wanted him to move out,” she added.

She further alleged that another soldier entered the room and attempted to restrain her.

She narrated, “While on that, his colleague came in and also told me to calm down, that I would love it and that I shouldn’t shout.

Dr Olusegun Osoba Dies

Osoba, who hailed from Ijebu Ode in Ogun State, died peacefully at his residence in the early hours of Thursday, May 14, 2026.

The announcement was contained in a statement issued by The Yusufu Bala Usman Institute in Zaria, Kaduna State.

The statement, signed by the Director of the institute, Norma Perchonock, read: “With heavy hearts but with gratitude for a life lived in the service of scholarship and humanity, the Yusufu Bala Usman Institute announces the death of our Chairman, Dr. Olusegun Osoba, who passed away peacefully today, 14th May 2026, at his residence in Ijebu Ode.

“He was 92 years old. Dr. Osoba was a rare scholar whose whole life was dedicated to teaching and research that was designed to educate his students, colleagues and the general public about the nature of the capitalist system and the structures of neo-colonialism that dominates the Nigerian state, and to propose ways of liberating the country from this odious system in order that its citizens may live their lives free from exploitation and oppression.

“His work in economic history was groundbreaking in many ways as he sought to expose the actual workings of the economic system that was holding back development in the country.

“His writings were wide ranging, from scholarly books and papers to articles and columns in newspapers that reached a wide audience. One of his major achievements was to author, together with his close comrade Yusufu Bala Usman, The Minority Report and Draft Constitution for the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1976.

“This document has had a profound impact on the various debates and discussions about the way forward for Nigeria.

“Segun is gone but he has left an enduring legacy and a shining example for patriotic Nigerians to emulate. Funeral arrangements will be as announced by the family.”
