A tweet about acts of sex by a former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, on Wednesday, stirred up a hot debate among social media users.
Fani-Kayode, in the tweet, gave lessons on sex, painting the picture of how people reach orgasm during sex.
He tweeted, “Sex is powerful. It is an act of worship. That is why people shout things like “Oh my God” when they are at the height of orgasmic pleasure.”
This prompted concerns that his account might have been hacked.
One of his friends, Michael Sawyer, using the Twitter handle, @ademolasawyer, tweeted at him, asking, “Hmm, has this account been hacked?”
But Fani Kayode replied saying, “No it has not.”
Another friend of his, Viva Runor-Ifeoluwa, using @VivaRunor, stated, “ LOL! Mouth sealed. I guess you just had a great one lately, sir.”
Fani-Kayode replied, “Not so.”
Consequently, some Nigerians on the social media condemned the former minister for the message while others applauded him.
On lindaikeji.blogspot.com, where the tweet was munched and posted, many slammed him for descending so low and being too raw.
Some said Fani-Kayode threw caution to the wind wondering what type of lesson he would be teaching children if they got to read his comment.
An anonymous reader said, “I respect him as a person but it seems he’s morally bankrupt; he is a danger to Nigerian youths.”
Another anonymous commenter stated, “This was a former minister. No wonder Nigeria is in such a useless condition.”
Another person said, “I just can’t believe this public figure is desperately seeking for attention these days. Oga Fani, respect yourself now! How ridiculous can somebody’s father get?”
On ladunliadi.blospot.com, a reader, Ahdaisy Jayde, described Fani-Kayode’s comment as distasteful.
The reader stated, “I know it’s a joke but am I the only one who doesn’t find this funny? I think it’s quite distasteful. People shout ‘Oh my God’ when they hear bad news, does that make it an act of worship?”
On this same blog, an anonymous reader said, “What is wrong with this Femi guy, he’s so…, he should be thinking of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and not sex.”
Another reader on the blog said, “I can’t believe his utterances these days. He has so much disappointed me. He is behaving like a juvenile, not because it’s okay does not mean it should be said.”
Disagreeing with Fani-Kayode on Facebook, Tochi Eze-Nliam said, “I doubt that. Because if you shoot someone the person would most likely shout, ‘Oh my God!’ Is pain act of worship too?”
Others, however, shared the former minister’s sentiment.
Nakpozie, a reader on lindaikeji.blogspot.com, said, “But I don’t see anything bad with the comment because their seems not to be iota of lie in it.”
Another reader Ademola, also stated, “Gbam! True talk” while Emmanuel Onwubiko wrote on Fani-Kayode’s Facebook page, “The whole truth and nothing but the truth.”
But when Fani-Kayode discovered that a lot of social media users were castigating him for the tweet, he hurriedly posted some clarifications about his comment.
On his Facebook page, Fani-Kayode stated that it was his friend that shared the thought with him and went on to ask his fans on the platform, if it was true.
He stated, “A friend of mine told me that sex is an act of worship which involves the generation of awesome spiritual power and cosmic energy. She said that is why people shout things like ‘’oh my God’’ when they are at the height of orgasmic pleasure. Is this true or false?
“I believe that sex is definitely an act of worship. Within marriage it is a gift from God which leads to life and procreation. Outside of marriage it is a gift from the devil which leads to decay and destruction.
“Extra-marital sex actually leads to the invocation of demons. Sex within marriage leads to the invocation of angels. My wife once told me that when two people make love their souls actually touch. This I believe to be true. The mystery of sex is lost on many. It can be beautiful but it can also be very dangerous.”
