Dr Funmilayo admitted to sexual intercourse while they were intoxicated. The courts in UK will say she cannot give consent while intoxicated. The fact that he admitted initiating the process that got them drunk can be interpreted as premeditation.

There are things we do not appreciate as Nigerians or don't understand the gravity of. That's why we can read that - a man told a woman to bring wine to his room, which they had and ended up having sex- without batting an eye lid. In the UK, that's a big deal.
The onus is on the man whether he was intoxicated or not to not be sexual with a woman while she's intoxicated and unable to give consent.
The law is clear on where it stands about alcohol and consent.
English law says this about rape.

The fact that Dr Funmilayo is an African immigrant doesn't help his case either. The implicit and explicit racism will hurt the notion of his innocence.
I don't think we are taking this seriously enough. When he said, there's a war coming, he wasn't lying or exaggerating.

Those two established facts work against him in a UK court.
In a bid to clear himself to the Nigerians on twitter who mostly wouldn't see anything wrong in his thread. He's hurting his own case in a court in the UK if it ever gets there.
Man, I hope she doesn't sue.

Not because I believe he ®aped her but because law has been so warped and made into a binary of zeros and ones, he did this or he didn't do this in a lot of Western countries.
Did he invite her to bring alcohol to his room? Yes. "Premeditation"

Did they have sex while intoxicated? Yes.
Did she give her consent? The law will answer for her and say no, she could not, she was intoxicated.
Did he penetrate her while she was intoxicated and without consent? Yes.
That's rape. That's what the prosecutor will say.

I hope they don't go to court. Everything he worked for can be gone just like that and for what? Because he dared scorn a woman. When we say men are an endangered species, we are not bullshiting. What sounds like two people deciding to have alcohol together and sex after can
be easily termed as a man being and aggressor and the woman victim.
All the other facts of the matter become secondary.
She's got him alright and through his own admission. This is why i say always handle this shit offline. Get a lawyer who can advise you involved.

Nobody is impervious to accusations made against them however silly those accusations are. They get to you and your brain triggers into panic mode. At that point you stop thinking straight and it is better you do not make a public address that hasn't been vetted by a 3rd party.
Funmilayo will have to fight for his future, that's why he calls it a war. I believe him when he called it that and it was what triggered me into thinking about this thread because I thought he might have been exaggerating, but on a second thought, he's not.
I hope the rest of us learn tho. Public perception is useless in a court of law, how Nigerians feel about you or if you have been able to clear your name to your online followers doesn't matter in a UK court. The constitution does.
Anyone who is on Dammy's good books should plead with her not to destroy this man's life because they are quarrelling. Whatever she does now can have a long lasting effect on him. Plead with her not because you believe he's guilty but because the chances are not looking good.
And stop making jokes about her. The more she's infuriated, the more irrational her actions are likely to be.
Just take the entire thing offline.
