Nigerian fashion influencer Kene Okonkwo (formerly Kenechukwu Obiejesi), the daughter of billionaire businessman Obi Jackson, has sparked reactions on social media after appearing to make a subtle remark, many perceive as directed at businessman Femi Otedola.
The post came after a court victory involving her father. Taking to Instagram, Kene shared a pointed message that quickly drew attention online.
She said:
“A legacy is not by riding bikes abroad and paying blogs to publicise wealth that is so common.”
She appeared to direct the remarks at Femi Otedola, accusing him of using his political influence to secure ownership of the property.
She went further to say, “How do you explain to your children that you saw someone else’s building and wanted it so bad you wasted your time, manipulating the political systems to try and take it, but still lost. What a joke. If you like something so much, the time spent in launching books, why not use it to learn how the people who actually made it from scratch did it. We are and have always been confident because we don’t take or envy what belongs to others; we build our own with dedication, time, hard work, and most importantly, prayer.”
