Shaming the Shameless: A tale of Maureen Badejo’s Kirikiri Experience
Maureen Badejo’s life for many years now has been driven by an insatiable urge to always ridicule and defame popular spiritual leaders in Nigeria.
Social media a space designed for connection became a weapon in the hand of Maureen. She peddles lies without thought, she distorts and twist narratives, takes satisfaction in humiliating others while acting unperturbed by the pain inflicted on their lives far beyond the screen.
*Maureen is an expert in creating blackmail and turning it into a marketplace, creating scandals into merchandise, trading dignity for clicks and conscience for currency. Maureen and many like her roam the digital streets not as a storytellers but hunters of humiliation, packaging rumors and half – truths as entertainment while disguising exploitation as CONTENT. In their pursuit of quick profit they forgot that every headline they invent is a wound they inflict and every view they gain is often purchased with someone else’s peace of mind*.
For years she has suffered an internal void and emotional imbalance which she has set to resolve through creating *chaos and attention.*
She has overtime lost selfworth , self esteem and moves through life without any anchor of conscience and not minding whose ox is being gored. She defies social norm and throws caution to the wind.
After spending few days at Panti Police Station Maureen Badejo was moved to the *Kirikiri correctional center* yesterday and was seen looking like an old hag dressed in a black uniform which showed her dangling drooping breast, unkempt hair , stinking and ezcema infected body.
*Maureen Badejo as at today has about 13 petitions* against her.
As her case keeps unfolding the world Cheer to see that words that were once thrown carelessly now stand before the weight of the law.
*Nigeria today is at the point where defamation stops being gossip or social media noise but formal matter of justice.*
*Dayo Adekunle*
