Nigerian comedian Oluseyi Aletile, known as Seyi Law, has written an open letter to blogger and former singer Tunde Ednut.
In a lengthy post on his Instagram and Twitter pages, he noted that for two years now, the famous Instagram blogger has been tarnishing his name and inciting his followers against him. He revealed that he laughed it off initially, but lately, he has been reflecting.
Seyi said he has kept silent despite the negative things he knows about him and has watched him deceive those capable of independent thought. However, he believes in God, who, in time, reveals the true deeds of all men.
The comedian added that he believes time will reveal things as he warned Tunde not to try him.
“Dear mazitundeednut,
Growing up as Yoruba children, we were taught a song that goes:
“Kini n o fole se laye ti mo wa (2ce). Laye ti mo wa, kaka kin jale, kaka kin jale, ma kuku deru. Kini n o fole se laye ti mo wa.”
It translates to:
“What would I do with stealing in this life I have come into? Instead of stealing, I would rather become a slave.”
This song instilled integrity in many of us, and I am proud to say that throughout my existence, I have never stolen from anyone. Can you say the same?
For two years, I have watched as you tarnished my name and incited your followers against me. I laughed it off at first, but lately, I have been reflecting. I kept silent despite the many things I knew about you. I watched you deceive those capable of independent thought but won’t use their brains while you secured your livelihood from Nigeria. Your connections with people that are associated with Deziani and others. But I believe in God, who, in time, reveals the true deeds of all men. As the Yorubas say, wa ko oni tie niwaju. Time will expose everything.
I remember when you lived with Sheyman just behind my house. Given your humble beginnings, I expected you to appreciate the hard work of others. Instead, you choose to throw mud on others, forgetting that when the rain falls, no one can predict whose roof it will touch.
Tunde mo se lore ri, no matter how little. How quickly people change. Or perhaps this was simply who you have always been.
Like I always say, time will reveal all things. No ,try me o, make your eyes no peel”.
Last year, the comedian had reacted to accusations of being a cultist. Seyi Law stated that he hoped Nigerians would call it oppression should he arrest the tweep.
Also, last year, Seyi Law had reacted after a tweep shared a video of him collecting a lady’s number on a public bus as she slammed the comedian. He clarified that the lady in the video was his friend as he noted how the tweep wishes it was her number.
