Journalist Kiki Mordi has been dragged by a lady identified as Oge Obi who claims to be the brain behind the Sex For Grades documentary.

The documentary by the BBC details the sexual abuse faced by female students at the hands of lecturers in tertiary institutions in Nigeria and Ghana.

Kiki Mordi is believed to have pitched the idea which resulted in the award-winning documentary that trended in 2019.

She recently won the 2020 Michael Elliott Award for African Storytelling and was also one of the MTV EMA Generation Change 2020 winners.

She’s now facing an allegation that says she’s just an opportunist who claimed the glory that others worked for.

This is according to Oge Obi who expressed her displeasure in a thread shared on Twitter.

Oge Obi wrote: “You have to be a different level of callous to be parading yourself as the brain behind other people’s blood, sweat and tears. Even Satan no do reach like this. But congratulations, big congrats.

“Now what next? It’s been over a year already… When is the world going to see your next big thing? Or have you run out of creative juices? Need more geniuses who aren’t just poster boys/girls to latch onto like the blood-sucking parasite that you are?

“You can fool your minions and the gullible media but deep down you know your brain could never operate at this level, you don’t have the range. Call me bitter but who would be happy watching an opportunist claim what belongs to other hard workers?

“I’ll much rather be bitter than be a talentless fluke. Like my good friend will always say, bullshit can get you to the top but it won’t keep you there. So f*ck your congratulations and your apathetic pep talks. You and the dishonourable bastard deserve each other!

“Sleep easy knowing you made the soldier ants who did the real work feel like shit, knowing you made a grown-ass man cry. Add that to your award speech.”

Oge Obi’s claim was buttressed by Nigeria’s first Emmy nominee and journalist, Ruona J. Meyer, while reacting to the Michael Elliot Award won by Kiki Mordi.

She tweeted: “Kiki, make sure this time you at least share whatever prize money there is with O.O and acknowledge her – given this was all her story as pitched, sourced/started.

“Real journalists have honour and also hold themselves to account, not just the government. O.O a fellow female journalist did not get a fair deal, and you remain complicit and a beneficiary of that. The facts, complaints, responses and even her thread are there.

“Better make it right because journalism can’t insist on ethics & fairness from others, yet cheat within.

“For any bright sparks, I was in that newsroom when N.O and O.O pitched that story, so don’t try me today… I suggest you try Jesus instead. He is a better option.”
