Nigerians are asking about the whereabouts of the parents and especially mother of Success Adegor, the little schoolgirl who literally walked into fame a few weeks back after her “dem go flog tire” line won sympathy and admiration from social media users.
This enquiry is tied to the emergence of a photo of little Success in a mini skirt sitting on the lap of a much older man, who reportedly is the chairman of Sapele Local Goverment Area of Delta state. In the photo which was obviously taken at night time, the 7-year-old appeared sitting on the chairman’s lap in company of other grown men with alcohol servings on the table they were seated around.
Fejiro Oliver, a human rights activist who originally shared the photo expressed concern about the appropriateness of the setting for the child. Attaching the worrisome picture, he wrote on his Facebook:
“A Local Government Chairman in Delta State, precisely Sapele Local Government took little Success (Adegor) of the “No be say I no go pay o” fame out to a beer parlour. ….”
This is wrong on all levels. What is a 7 yr old child doing out so late at night in such an environment?
I understand she came out tops in her class despite being sent home from school frequently for not paying her school fees.
The future is bright for this girl child and there is no room for distractions. Her parents MUST be guided.
Enraged social media users have also condemned the photo and bashed the men; whom they say have no business keeping a 7-year-old in their company at night, gathered around a table of alcoholic drinks without being faintly related to her.
The public outcry may have brought some embarrassment to the men and the Local Government Chairman in particular, whom the activist, Fejiro, now alleges is threatening his life.

Update: Life under threat because of Success Adegor post
This afternoon, I made a harmless post about Success Adegor of the “no be say I no go pay viral story” on how she was spotted in a beer parlour.
Now, perception is key in everything. I called for the suspension of the Sapele LGA Council boss, Mr Eugene, for carrying success and staying with him where him and his friends were gulping alcohol. On the table are bottles of alcohol and cans of beer. For heaven’s sake, why must the little girl be introduced to that?
The post has since gone viral.
I have received countless calls over the issue and given my words to some concerned persons on what they asked.
This evening, at exactly 7:25pm a number 09029287265 called me after I missed a call from that same number by 6:50pm, the voice at the background identified himself as Samuel and demanded to know if I’m Fejiro Oliver. I asked for his full name and he went ballistic.
The young man threatened that for writing against his boss on my wall, they will find me all over Nigeria and deal with as well as hack my facebook accounts.
“I will hack your number and we will track you anywhere in Nigeria”.
He has just spoken the mind of the Council Chairman. I kept quiet and he ended the call. He called back again and began to rant before handing the phone to a lady who identified herself as Barrister Gloria who also poured out venom on my person, saying I want to destroy the man.
He has been in office for almost two years and I have not investigated him despite the complaints from the council staff. How then am I destroying him?
This is to Eugene, Samuel, Gloria and all their clique, the governor will not only hear this but I will take it up to the highest level.
Eugene whom we elected as a local government chairman has recruited thugs to hunt me. He should honorably quit that seat or be suspended by the House of Assembly to join the thug business.
This battle go over you. This will not be the end of it.
