The name Jude Ndukwe may not ring a bell to most Nigerians, and rightly so. He is an obscure character whose only claim to public discourse is his relentless, almost obsessive fixation on Chief Femi Fani-Kayode (FFK)—a fixation so desperate that it borders on an unhealthy infatuation. Every few months, like a broken record, Ndukwe emerges from irrelevance to launch yet another attack on FFK, hoping to stir controversy and cling to any semblance of public attention.
But why this unending bitterness? Why does Ndukwe keep gnashing his teeth over a man who has long moved on to greater heights? The answer is simple: he is a bitter, frustrated failure whose entire career has been built on hypocrisy, betrayal, and a shameless pursuit of political crumbs.
A Betrayer Who Bites the Hand That Fed Him
Jude Ndukwe is not just a political jobber; he is an ungrateful charlatan who repays kindness with treachery. He was once an ally of Femi Fani-Kayode, a man who took him in, supported him, and even appointed him as his media adviser—a role that should have elevated Ndukwe beyond his natural mediocrity.
But instead of gratitude, Ndukwe turned on FFK, the very man who gave him a platform. He has since devoted his entire existence to attacking and maligning Fani-Kayode at every turn, spinning wild conspiracy theories and fabricating ridiculous lies.
His latest tantrum is centered on an issue that is both laughable and pathetic: the bail surety saga. Ndukwe continues to whine about how he once stood surety for FFK, conveniently leaving out the fact that no one forced him to do so. It was a voluntary act, a decision he made on his own. And yet, he acts like he made some great sacrifice, as if FFK was some criminal in need of charity.
The truth? When the time came, others happily stepped up to replace him, proving that Fani-Kayode commands respect and loyalty from real men of integrity—not opportunists like Ndukwe, who only seek to leverage relationships for personal gain.
A Career Built on Lies, Ethnic Propaganda, and Blackmail
Jude Ndukwe’s track record is one of consistent dishonesty, hypocrisy, and ethnic manipulation. He presents himself as an activist, yet his history is riddled with blackmail and propaganda.
This is the same man who, in 2017, falsely accused government officials of secretly funding IPOB, attempting to incite ethnic tensions with reckless abandon. He thrives on distorting facts, peddling misinformation, and weaponizing tribal sentiments to create division.
Now, in his latest attempt to whitewash history, he is desperately trying to rewrite the events of the 1966 coup—a coup that was clearly executed by a group of Igbo military officers who systematically assassinated leaders from the North and West while sparing their own kinsmen.
For the records:
The 1966 coup was spearheaded by Major Kaduna Nzeogwu and executed predominantly by Igbo officers.
The immediate beneficiary was Major-General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, who quickly centralized power under a unitary system.
Key northern and western leaders were assassinated, while Igbo political figures were spared.
Yet, in typical Ndukwe fashion, he attempts to gaslight Nigerians by claiming the coup was not ethnically motivated. How convenient!
Femi Fani-Kayode: The Man Ndukwe Wishes He Could Be
Perhaps the most embarrassing aspect of Ndukwe’s bitter obsession is his repeated accusations of tribalism against FFK. He desperately tries to paint Fani-Kayode as an ethnic bigot, ignoring the glaring reality that FFK has always stood for national unity and has built bridges across all ethnic divides.
If FFK were truly anti-Igbo, why would he appoint Ndukwe—an Igbo man—as his media adviser? Why would he have maintained friendships and alliances with Igbo leaders throughout his career? The truth is, Jude Ndukwe envies Fani-Kayode.
He envies his intelligence.
He envies his influence.
He envies his political relevance.
No matter how hard Ndukwe tries, he will never be in the same league as Fani-Kayode. He is a low-level political hustler, while FFK is a seasoned intellectual and political heavyweight.
A Walking Contradiction and a Political Prostitute
Jude Ndukwe is the epitome of hypocrisy. He claims to fight for truth, yet his career is built on deception. He pretends to be a champion of justice, yet he engages in the very blackmail and propaganda he claims to oppose.
He is a man for hire—a political prostitute who jumps from one failed assignment to another, hoping to land a payday from desperate politicians looking for an attack dog. But even among his peers in the dirty game of political mercenary work, Ndukwe has failed spectacularly.
Conclusion: Ndukwe, the Joke That Never Ends
Jude Ndukwe’s obsession with Femi Fani-Kayode is nothing short of embarrassing. It is the desperate cry of a man who has failed at everything he has ever attempted.
While Fani-Kayode soars to new heights, Ndukwe remains stuck in the gutter of irrelevance, recycling the same tired, baseless attacks in a futile attempt to stay relevant.
But here’s the hard truth, Jude: FFK is too big for you. Your lies, your betrayal, and your pathetic attempts to drag him down will always fail.
While he commands respect, you remain a laughingstock—a man whose only talent is whining like a rejected ex-lover.
