The marriage of Popular Yoruba monarch , Ooni Of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II who got married seventeen months ago to his bride, Olori Wuraola has hit the wall.

Palace sources claim the ooni’s father is solely responsible for the recent collapse of the marriage. Reports claim that olori wuraola’s father inlaw Aderopo Ogunwusi  has not played the role of a yoruba elder in pacifying both parties in the marriage hence leading to the breakdown of the marriage. Palaces sources indicated that olori wuraola has been very quiet lately and is watching eagerly to see what new tricks her husband has lined up.

OONI OF IFE, OBA ADEYEYE OGUNWUSI & FATHER BabaOba Aderopo Ogunwusi

A source hinted SOCIETY REPORTERS NG that the OOni  tried to chase olori wuraola away to make room for the incoming olori but the afobajes (Kingmakers) and other elites pleaded with the Ooni to settle things amicably with olori wuraola.

 

The report of the royal breakup surfaced online just days ago, and has since gone viral.

However, a new report has revealed and confirmed that the baba Oba is the third wheel that has caused serious strain on the marriage.

According to palace sources the whole royal rumble started last year but only got worse few weeks ago on the couple’s return from their trip to London.

 

Subsequently, Olori wuraola consulted former president Obasanjo who advised her to manage the situation in her marriage. Olori was also said to have consulted her father in law to mediate on the troubles in her marriage but Aderopo Ogunwusi instructed her OTHERWISE.

Which yoruba elder or would advise or instruct his daughter in law in such manner?

This is where our investigation begins..

By Tradition Ooni’s father is not meant to lay his eyes on his son the Ooni after being  crowned as king but palace sources say the Ooni and his father see each other every day. Sources in the palace claim that the Ooni is being controlled by his father and does his father’s bidding. The afobajes  (Kingmakers) have warned of the danger associated to this unholy alliance between the father Babaoba Aderopo and Oba Adeyeye but all the warnings fell on deaf ears. Aderopo’s interference with palace politics has caused many to question if Oba Adeyeye is fit to rule. Mostly in social gatherings he is now referred to as the “FIGURE KING” that has brought opprobrium to the most revered stool in all of Africa.

 

 

Another palace sources also hinted SOCIETY REPORTERS that while olori wuraola is hibernating far away from ife her beloved husband the Ooni of Ife has gone on an alleged sponsored media rampage to discredit his wife with insinuations of infidelity and unpublishable accusations. Our further investigation also revealed that there was an agreement before their wedding that ooni would not marry another woman, and they both agreed to it but now the ooni is willing to take another woman, reneging from the earlier conceded agreement which has led to the genesis of this crisis.

According to our Palace source, “It was the ooni that wanted to send her out of the palace, he is already planning to bring another woman into the palace and he knows he cant achieve that having Olori Wuraola in the same palace”.

 

 

Further findings revealed that some elders are insisting that Olori Wuraola should stand her ground and remain in the palace, even if Ooni’s intentions were to bring in another woman, she will remain the one and only recognized Olori in the palace of the Ooni. “ after all, when they got married a lot of negative stories were written about her, and after a while they were forgotten, same thing will happen now, but if she quits her stand now, Oba Adeyeye will think he can do the same thing he did to his former wife, Bukola to Olori Wuraola. Ooni of ife has always been alleged to be  the problem in his marriages;  Ooni at some point told his close friends he can’t stay with olori wuraola any longer. This got olori wuraola  because she has invested a lot in the Ooni of Ife. Asides the emotional trauma she has had to endure, she has been drained financially by the Ooni of all her life’s savings and now the Ooni wants to throw her out for a new bride” according to royal sources.

 

Another reliable source added that, since the beginning of this royal marriage, olori has always been an independent woman who was self made before falling for the young monarch.

 

A friend who Ooni recently asked for financial assistance said to Society Reporters NG “People will think that the ooni is a rich man but in fact he is not, he is only good at doing otherwise to people and fantastic at making unimaginable promises.   This is why in social gatherings he is referred to as the child that is stilled tied to his father’s apron strings.

Dozie Mmobuosi’s Tingo Group: Fake Farmers, Phones, and Financials—The Fraudulent Nigerian Empire That Never Existed……Part 1

Published

on

June 7, 2023

By

Tingo Group is a holding company that claims to operate primarily in Nigeria in multiple business segments, including (i) food processing and sales (ii) mobile handset sales & leasing and (iii) an online food marketplace called “Nwassa”. The company has a fully diluted market capitalization of ~$1.5 billion as of this writing, with a recent peak market value of $3 billion as of May 22nd, 2023.

The company first went public in August 2021 on the OTC market through a reverse merger with a Thai company that originally intended to acquire a third-tier crypto exchange.

In December 2022, the company entered the Nasdaq by closing another reverse merger with a listed Chinese fintech company. The company was renamed Tingo Group Inc and the ticker changed from MICT to TIO on February 27, 2023.

Tingo was founded in 2001 in Nigeria by “Dozy” Mmobuosi, who currently serves as the CEO of Tingo Group Holdings, the group’s key holding company entity. He has gained international attention, gracing the cover of GQ Africa in December 2022.
Regularly described by media as a billionaire, Dozy made further waves in February 2023 when he attempted to buy Sheffield United, an English football team recently promoted to the Premier league. The deal stalled over questions about whether Dozy’s financial resources were genuine.

Part I: Red Flags In Dozy’s Background

Tingo Group Holdings CEO “Dozy” Mmobuosi Appears To Have Fabricated His Biographical Claim To Have Developed The First Mobile Payment App In Nigeria
We Contacted The Actual Creator Of The App Who Called Dozy’s Claim “A Pure Lie”
Despite his claims to be a successful billionaire entrepreneur, we found numerous red flags related to Dozy.

In a May 2020 interview, Dozy told a detailed origin story of what would later serve as a key biographical claim; how, in 2002, he developed the first mobile payment platform in Nigeria. Per the story, he partnered with a bank on the venture after he couldn’t find an easy way to send money to his brother.

At the end of the interview, Dozy claimed he could not mention the product or the bank due to confidentiality reasons:

“Understandably, I can’t mention the product or the bank in question for the sake of confidentiality.”

The lack of disclosure of the mere name of a company built and sold over 15 years ago runs contrary to the norm for essentially every other successful startup founder’s story.

Regardless, his reticence to disclose the name of the app seems to have gone away. The Tingo website now claims Dozy helped launch Nigeria’s first SMS banking solution called “Flashmecash”. Per the website:

“In 2002 he (Dozy) led the design and launch of Nigeria’s first SMS Banking Solution (Flashmecash), later sold to FMCB who still use it today.”

We reached out to Flashmecash’s actual creator, Deji Oguntonade, whom we verified as the inventor via check of Flashmecash’s patent, along with web searches. He informed us that Dozy’s claims were “totally false” and shared a WhatsApp post he wrote to Nigeria’s top fintechs and regulators making clear that Dozy’s claims were a “pure lie”.

The post provided a detailed background on the app, which Oguntonade reiterated had no connection to Dozy.

Dozy Claimed To Have Received a PhD In Rural Advancement From Malaysian University UPM In 2007
We Contacted UPM To Verify The Degree. They Wrote Back Saying No One By His Name Was Found In Their Verification System
In his Tingo biography, Dozy claimed to have received a PhD in Rural Advancement from Malaysian university UPM in 2007. We contacted the school to confirm this credential. An administrator in the graduate studies department confirmed that the database has records from 2007 and earlier, but that Dozy’s name, including several variations we tried were “not found for verification”.

In 2017, Dozy Was Arrested And Faced An 8-Count Indictment Over Issuance Of Bad Checks, According To The Nigerian Economic And Financial Crimes Commission
In 2017, Dozy was arrested in Nigeria and faced 8 charges including conspiracy, obtaining by false pretense and issuance of approximately U.S. $70,000 in bad checks, according to the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. The case was later settled in arbitration, according to local media and company filings.

In 2019, Dozy Claimed To Launch “Tingo Airlines” And Posted Social Media Messages Encouraging Customers To “Fly With Tingo Airlines Today”
Media Outlets Uncovered That Tingo Had Photoshopped Its Logo On Pictures Of Airplanes. Dozy Later Admitted To Never Owning Any Actual Aircraft
In August 2019, Dozy launched Tingo Airlines, which declared share capital of £1 billion, according to UK company records.

Per reporting by The Athletic, November 2020 Facebook messages urged customers to “fly with Tingo Airlines today”.

The company also had an Instagram page where it posted photoshopped pictures of planes with a Tingo logo on them. The page was removed after observers noticed that the planes had too many windows and were missing a door, owing to a poor photoshop job.

In April 2023, Tingo’s Co-Chairman Wrote A Public Letter To Dozy, Filed With The SEC, Saying He Could Not Approve The Company’s Annual Report And Felt It “Necessary To Recuse Myself By Resigning” Due To “Many Critical Questions, Comments And Recommendations” That Went “Unanswered And Unheeded”
In September 2021, Christophe Charlier was named co-Chairman of Tingo Inc., tweeting at the time that he was “excited” to work toward “transforming rural farming communities.”

However, less than 2 years later, in April 2023, Charlier resigned suddenly, stating in a letter addressed to Dozy and filed with the SEC:

“I have made numerous efforts to implement best corporate governance practices…Despite my efforts…many critical questions, comments and recommendations which I have sent to management and the Board have once again remained unanswered and unheeded. As a result, I will not be in a position to approve the 10K for 2022 prepared by management and feel it necessary to recuse myself by resigning from the Board”
