Orisabunmi’s family clears air on deaths allegedly caused by COVID-19

 

The elder brother of late Nollywood actress, Folakemi Aremu, (Orisabunmi) has debunked a report that his father and his siblings died of COVID-19 complications.

Tunde Onishola, son to late Kwara Falcons Basketball Club Technical Director, Steve Onishola, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Ilorin that the multiple deaths were “just a coincidence’’.

Onishola, who is also a nephew to the actress, said neither his father, Steve Orisabunmi and his younger sister, Janet Ademola died of COVID-19 related circumstances.

Recall that Onishola died in Ilorin on Thur., Jan. 7, barely 24 hours after his younger sister, Folake Aremu (Orisabunmi).

Their younger sister, Mrs Janet Ademola, died on Jan. 9.

Speaking on the deaths, Onishola said, “It is not true that my father, late Nollywood actress, Orisabunmi and their younger sister, Janet Onishola died of COVID-19 complications.

“My dad has been on admission since last year and he was diagnosed for another thing entirely.

“It has nothing to do with COVID-19 at all.

“Basketballers are aware, they came visiting, I was with him for a month at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH), taking care of him.

“Leave them to be saying their rubbish, how many people will I explain this to, do you know where those things have gotten to?’’ Onishola told NAN.

He further stated that the younger sister (Janet), who died a few days ago, has been managing blood pressure (BP) for long and that there is a limit to what a woman can take.

“I think the shock was too strong for her, she has been managing BP for long.’’

Onishola said he has taken solace in the fact that his father lived a worthy life because he was able to touch many lives within the basketball circle and outside it.

 

 

Trump a failed leader, worst President in US – Arnold Schwarzenegger

 

Hollywood star and former Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger has described President Donald Trump as the worst President ever in US history.

Arnold said this in a video shared on Sunday on his Instagram page while comparing the riot at the US Capitol which Trump incited, to Kristallnacht, the night in November 1938 when Nazi thugs attacked Jewish Germans and their property.

DAILY POST recalls that Trump supporters broke into the Capitol on Wednesday and caused mayhem.

The actor said the incident at the US Capitol trampled the very principles on which the country was founded.

Schwarzenegger, describing Trump as a failed leader, said he has taken solace in the fact that Trump’s presidency would soon be over and be as irrelevant as an old tweet.

“He is a failed leader. Trump will go down in history as the worst president ever. The good thing is he soon will be as irrelevant as an old tweet.

“Also to those who think they can overturn the United States Constitution, know this: You will never win,” he said.

Schwarzenegger criticising the US President over his several unfounded claims of election fraud, said American democracy is like a weapon.

“Our democracy is like the steel of this sword. The more it is tempered, the stronger it becomes.

“Wednesday was the Day of Broken Glass right here in the US. The broken glass was in the windows of the US Capitol.

“These mob did not only shatter the windows of the Capitol, they shattered the ideals we took for granted. They did not just break down the doors of the building that housed American democracy,” he added.

According to him, Trump sought to overturn the results of the election and sought a coup by misleading people with lies.

In conclusion, he pledged to stand with President-elect Biden in defense of US democracy from those who would threaten it.

Schwarzenegger was a member of the Republican Party and elected as governor in California in 2003 until 2011.
