The daughter of ex-Governor of Oyo State in the Second Republic, Michael Omololu Olulonyo is about to be repatriated back to Nigeria.
Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo, 48, first came to the limelight when she declared on Facebook her interest to run for Nigeria’s highest office. Later, she downgraded her ambition, asking the then Yar Adua-led government of Nigeria to appoint her Nigeria’s high commissioner to Canada. As a Nigerian-Canadian, it was at this juncture that a lot of people took special interest in her utterances and behavior.
She is also better known for an alleged hate campaign against some Ibo’s resident in Canada.
She once wrote this about some Ibo’s “Kaanayo Nwachukwu and Malik Shabazz are crazy…I got Kaanayo FIRED from a Govt of Canada job…I demanded him be fired or it’s a multimillion dollar lawsuit of the province of Ontario, so he gets fired…These Nigerians are complete assholes.”
This move made her infamous with a cross section of Nigerians living in Canada.
Despite this, the Toronto Sun describes her as Toronto’s black community crime victim advocate, a mother of four sons who are U.S. citizens, is a long-time voice of grieving parents in the GTA whose sons were murdered by gunmen. She has helped struggling families cope and generate publicity that translated into tips that could help police.
Omololu-Olunloyo arrived at Pearson airport from Nigeria, via the U.S., in 2007 with her children and filed unsuccessful refugee claims and subsequent appeals. She has to report on May 4 to a 6900 Airport Rd. office of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to set a date for removal.
Messer Kanayo one of the men she had fired by the Canada government is claiming she is a serial crime, and that she ran away from the USA to escape the law.
The former U.S. green-card holder, publicist and journalist denies this allegation, citing one court action that is being appealed.
Omololu-Olunloyo is alledging that if she returns to Nigeria, government might kill her because some of her tweets and comments on her blogs have been against the government of Nigeria.
“I am a journalist and it will be only a matter of time before I am killed,” she said. “The government do not like people who ask a lot of questions.”
No date has been set for the removal of Kemi and her four children from Canada.
