GentleLady Salawa Abeni and her Blackmailer: On Leaked Nudity and Nigerian Law

“Is nudity that sacred? I gave birth four times and I exposed my nakedness to the doctors and nurses at those times. There was nothing for me to be scared of”- Salawa Abeni

Salawa Abeni, a name popular with Nigeria’s older population especially those from the South West. She rose to fame as a musician singing the Waka genre of music. She is also married to a musician of reputable fame, Ayinla Kollington.

Her debut album was released in 1976, meaning she has spent more than 4 decades on stage. Salawa Abeni like other musicians of her era now has less airplay and the paparazzi have moved on to younger celebrities, one would not expect her to trend in recent times. Her song “gentle lady ni mi, mi o kin se tighter” remains a classic of Waka, her music genre.

However, this was not the case as Nigerian internet was shaken through and through by the revelation that someone was threatening to release the nude pictures of the revered musician, blackmailing her and requesting for money.

The revelation was made by the musician herself who then dared the blackmailer to do his worst before releasing the pictures herself thus, making mincemeat of the fraudster within public sphere. Salawa turned him in the gutter when she did this. Throwing away that leverage he held on her and which he used to threaten her along with him.

In modern times, the problem of leaked nudes has caused shame for several ladies to the extent of suicide and depression. In BABCOCK University, a lady was expelled by the authorities for a sexual act that did not occur within school premises simply because there was a leaked tape.

Camera is now a cheap device and anyone can have one around using it to blackmail people as no one wants their nakedness public especially in Africa. Except those who willingly subscribe to being in the public sphere for such

Salawa Abeni’s singular action has de-marketed the use of nudes to extract money from ladies who desire to protect themselves from the shame. Salawa spoke for several ladies who would be unable to gather the same guts. She has left an example for younger girls who in her situation would have given in to blackmail and more pressure. There are several in the same condition who pay fraudsters that come again when the money is finished to ask for more. Turning one or two pictures to a meal ticket and threatening to release it to the public at every turn.

In the wake of Salawa’s own disclosure and exposure of the blackmailer, the condemnation from the public and her fan base against the attempt to blackmail her, police attempt to arrest the person along other public pressure against blackmail would reduce those who intend to do such similarly as they would learn from her example.

The blackmailer, who has not been properly identified and would hopefully, be arrested by the Nigerian police soon for his actions that violate Nigerian Law especially the provisions of the Cybercrime Prohibition Prevention Act 2015 which provides in Section 24;

24. Any person who knowingly or intentionally sends a message or other matter by means of computer systems or network that –

(a) is grossly offensive, pornographic or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character or causes any such message or matter to be so sent; or

(b) he knows to be false, for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience

danger, obstruction, insult, injury, criminal intimidation, enmity, hatred, ill will or

needless anxiety to another or causes such a message to be sent:

commits an offence under this Act and shall be liable on conviction to a fine of not

more than N7,000,000.00 or imprisonment for a term of not more than 3 years or to

both such fine and imprisonment.

(2) Any person who knowingly or intentionally transmits or causes the transmission

(b) containing any threat to kidnap any person or any threat to harm the person of

another, any demand or request for a ransom for the release of any kidnapped

person, to extort from any person, firm, association or corporation, any money or

other thing of value; or

another or the reputation of a deceased person or any threat to accuse the

addressee or any other person of a crime, to extort from any person, firm,

association, or corporation, any money or other thing of value:

commits an offence under this Act and shall be liable on conviction-

(i) in the case of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this subsection to imprisonment for a term

of 10 years and/or a minimum fine of N25,000,000.00; and

(ii) in the case of paragraph (c) and (d) of this subsection, to imprisonment for a term

of 5 years and/or a minimum fine of N15,000,000.00.

These sections apply to the man who threatened Salawa Abeni via WhatsApp and upon his arrest, and further unfolding of the matter in public, the law can take its toll on the offender as it is established.

This issue would stand in history as a reminder of strength to ladies and men who are being blackmailed by their past.

We can choose to be like Salawa. We can look the Blackmailer in the eye and tell him/her “I do not care. You cannot threaten me. You cannot intimidate me. I cannot retreat. I would release it myself to silence you”.

This is the height of bravery. This is where Salawa Abeni has reached. Her music will stay with her fans in both the old and young generation. But also, stories of her daring in this issue would live even longer.

Tiwa at her raunchy best Socrates reckoned many centuries ago that 'game of comparison is most enjoyed by beautiful people' . Obviously, his assertion was accurate and well intended because no ugly people love to be in the spotlight. However, he didn't have it in mind that a day like this would ever come when two unarguably beautiful personalities and their die-hard fans will be at each other's throats for a reason other beauty. Perfect enough, the game of comparison in question as it were between the lovely pair bugs down to who is a better singer and not who is more delectable. Its all started a few days back when an On-Air-Personality, OAP by name, Misi who while hosting Yemi Alade on her show was reported to have rants unending about how Tiwa Savage isn't a good singer and more so that she shouts in most of her songs and (wait for it) Yemi Alade was being frowned at in some quarters because she didn't stopped her or at least try to be diplomatic in halting the onslaught. And like all trending social issues, quite mundane for all it is worth, was latched on by almost everybody as vultures would on maggots ridden quarry. Like OAP Tisan Bako of Ray Power reckoned shortly in his contribution to the trending conversation that it is not as easy for a guest even on his own show to caution him from baring his mind on any issue. What he is saying clearly is that Yemi obviously have no such right to stop or caution the presenter in question from communicating what she strongly felt. In a way, I think she could if she had wanted. But she didn't try. And I'm not crucifying her for it. I'll not also crucify the OAP because that's what we do every other time in our various homes and offices needlessly.

Yemi looking all radiant

One thing people don't know is there is a need for variety. I mean, how on earth would it be if everybody sounds exactly like everybody? We will all get bored definitely. That underscores why a Tiwa must as a matter of professional necessity be different from Yemi whether she truly shouts or not as alleged by the presenter and vice versa. Music is poetry performed as such appeals to people differently just as the poetic personae performing it. Everybody including the OAP, Misi have got the right and privilege to like or dislike any entertainer (musicians and actors) for whatever reasons. But to attempt to foist that controversial line of thought or opinion on others is totally unacceptable. Let everybody likes who they want to like and dislike who they want to dislike but efforts should be made not to allow their disagreements to degenerate beyond verbal warfare. Interestingly, this is not the first time and neither would it be the last that members of the society are at dagger drawn over entertainers. We've had cases of late Fuji icon, Alhaji Sikiru Ayinde Barrister and his eternal rival Alhaji Ayinla Kollington and between Osupa Saheed and Alhaji Ajibola Pasuma; King Sunny Ade and Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey Fabiyi respectively and so many others that space will not allow me to name. Even more recently, we had that of Davido and Whizkid which though some people are quick to dismiss as both non-existent and an attempt to shore up their 'markets' like we use to say in local parlance. Whichever way, what it is, is what it is: a beef of sort. And not surprising, even as we speak polls are currently ongoing on various broadcast medium about who is a better singer between the two ladies of songs. Once more there is nothing wrong because its all influenced by primordial sentiments. Whatever the outcome is, it is not a problem for me and so I believe it shouldn't be for anybody because like Yoruba would say: ' the man who sings the praise of another deserves some accolades not minding the degree of their expertise'. Yemi and Tiwa are unquestionably worthy songstresses and ambassadors of Nigeria entertainment industry. And I say kudos to them whether Yemi sings better or not and whether Tiwa shouts or not.

Salawa Abeni: Veteran singer is still the toast of many men at 57

Salawa seems to be enjoying the advances from men as she said she tries to be diplomatic with men when they come after her for love.

57-year-old Waka queen, Salawa Abeni, still commands attention from men who wants a romantic relationship with her.

In a chat with Punch, the singer said that men still pester her for love despite her age but she's careful not to jump into any relationship.

She said, “Men still pester me for love but I am always very careful with them even though you cannot know which one is good or bad from mere appearance."

I have to be diplomatic in handling the men - Salawa

Salawa seems to be enjoying the advances from men as she said she tries to be diplomatic with men when they come after her for love.

“I mentioned it in one of my songs that if I laugh too much, they will call me a prostitute, if I frown too much, they will say I am proud. But it is good to be very diplomatic with them and not to be rude to them,” she said.

ALSO READ: Salawa reunites with former lover Sir Kollington Ayinla

Salawa is one of the veteran female musicians in Nigeria, who broke into the music scene with a not too popular genre known as Waka - a Nigerian music genre similar to Fuji.

"Like the Yoruba would say : arms outstretched is a sign of intended dance; where as song is usually the forerunner of a looming treachery." I think to a large extent there is a lot of truth in this proverb if events in the music industry are anything to go by concerning reports of fights or beefs among artistes purportedly over obsession about who is the fans' favourite or who is more adept in his or her game. While I try to do justice to this question, I'd rather restrict myself to the western Nigeria musical pantheon by drawing freely from the its vast array of musicians who I sufficiently believe were involved in similar stuff to buttress my point. Tales abound of superiority fights among top Yoruba musicians from way back like King Sunny Ade vs Commander Ebenezer Obey to Alhadji Sikiru Ayinde Barrister vs Alhadji Kollington Ayinla; Sir Shina Peters vs Dayo Kujore to Alhadji Alabi Pasuma vs Alhadji Osupa Saheed to name a few. It is a juicy topic any day any time among fans of these artistes occasionally leading to dirty brawls. I've personally seen many played out at beer joints, on the streets and inside public transportations where abusive words and curses were freely used. As a survival policy or tactics we're told artistes of old would do just about anything to keep themselves as the centre piece of the fans attention for as long as it takes. Then, the use of 'black magic' was reportedly to be notoriously rampant. In addition to this, it is not out of place to hear their songs some of which still enjoy good air play these days being heavily laces with treachery and superiority punch lines to which artistes they were intended for must respond to in due course particularly through album releases and at shows. Some of the most famous and long drawn of these battles was to my mind between these iconic Fuji musicians namely late Alhadj Sikiru Ayinde Barrister and Alhadji Kollington Ayinla and Alhadji Alabi Pasuma and Osupa Saheed. The followers of these great musicians as well as trend observers will attest almost readily to the existence of a real supremacy war between them and they unavoidably took sides. They will roll out lines after lines from each to support their case in the heat of argument. It would interest you that when Alhadji Kollington Ayinla was interviewed by journalists immediately after the demise of Alhadji Sikiru Ayinde Barrister who they labelled his eternal arch rival; amid tears, he however has this to say: "we are not enemies like many think but our merely pushing our careers through all those songs amd albums that we have released overtime." Going by this refutation statement which to me was more diplomatic as it comes, does it then mean these two people don't get to fight really or what? I personally think they do because they are humans whose career paths must necessarily crossed one way or the other for good or bad. To what extent they would resort to keeping malice or prepared to inflict harms on one another is what I don't know. But we're told they do by those who know! And voodoo like I mentioned earlier was the in thing then. And names of direct and indirect casualties/victims have been mentioned in all of those instances referred to above. Even some fans who took extreme positions different to these artistes would rather not want to see them together and are either disappointed when they do or left to wonder about the truth in all of the media reports of their beefs. Yet, album after album between them could said to be very engaging and a feast of unending warfare and we all love it because it indeed brought out the best in all of them. It would interest you to know that the superiority fight is not exclusive to these older generation of stars. The marque representatives of the new musical school are also not left out. In the past year or so, stories of love lost and physical brawls between Davido and Whizkid was well reported. It all came surprisingly to an end during the Whizkid end of year Lagos concert where he wowed the audience with an invite to the concert stage of Davido. I also noticed that he sang Davido's monster hit song FIA even more than Davido himself, And the incredulous concert goers obviously fell for what all along was to me a well crafted promotional stunt because they never really get crossed for all I care. I remember also that while it lasted, I had listened to and watched a cross section of entertainment commentators both on radio and television who obviously couldn't get a grasp of the fine lines of these planned and executed deceptions and promotional hanky-panky the two acts were putting up heaping praises on them for ending their all year long rift . I've no problem when people say: ' I love this act or that act more than the other for ABC reasons; but to say for instance that Davido is not as adept as Whizkid or vis a vis is totally wrong. The two for the year just ended were arguably the biggest success story for Nigeria entertainment on the world stage and it has nothing to do with their beef. They both bring their best to the fore and that's kudos to both of them. In the past however, it must be understood that it is almost impossible to see rivalling artistes say Ayinla Omowura and Sikiru Ayinde on one stage together. It was that bad. They try as much as possible to act the script even though it maybe tendentiously to serve their career progressions. So, all I'm saying is artistes indeed do fight. And they are known to wax lyrical about it. They are also known to get occasionally nasty and deadly about it. At least we've seen that played both in the past and today. In most cases, the reasons for their beefs go beyond music like the case with late American rappers the notorious BIG and Tupac. In as much as fighting between artistes is within the realm of possibility, we should however not lose sight of the fact that it could also be a smoke screen meant to do themselves a purposive world of good. And I think that's what it is with Davido/Whizkid beef.
