UNPACKING THE LUCKY UDU AND HELEN SAGA: A TALE OF MISINTERPRETATION AND CAUTION
In the wake of the recent controversy surrounding Lucky Udu and Helen, Cubana Chief Priest’s alleged baby mama, it’s essential to take a step back and analyze the situation. As I delved into the chats between Lucky Udu and Helen, I couldn’t help but notice the misinterpretation and caution that permeated their conversation.
Firstly, it’s crucial to acknowledge that Lucky Udu’s intentions seemed genuine. He was being kind and accommodating, offering Helen a place to stay and attempting to alleviate her concerns about visiting Nigeria. However, his over-familiarity and emotional approach may have created a wrong impression, leading Helen to question his motives.
Helen’s cautiousness, on the other hand, is understandable. Given her past experiences and the trauma she may have endured, it’s natural for her to be wary of strangers, especially men. Her concerns about staying with Lucky Udu or Mr. Salami were valid, and her decision to prioritize her safety and well-being is commendable.
The chats between Lucky Udu and Helen highlight the importance of being mindful of one’s emotions and boundaries. Lucky Udu’s emotional approach may have been misinterpreted, and his kindness was perceived as suspicious. This incident serves as a reminder to be cautious when interacting with others, especially in situations where trust has been broken in the past.
Furthermore, this saga underscores the need for empathy and understanding. Rather than jumping to conclusions or making assumptions, we should strive to see things from other people’s perspectives. Helen’s fears and concerns were valid, and Lucky Udu’s intentions, although misinterpreted, were genuine.
In conclusion, the Lucky Udu and Helen saga serves as a reminder to be cautious, empathetic, and understanding in our interactions with others. It highlights the importance of being mindful of our emotions and boundaries, and the need to prioritize safety and well-being. As we navigate the complexities of human relationships, let us strive to be kind, compassionate, and understanding, while also being mindful of our own emotions and boundaries.

Lucky Udu and Helen, Cubana Chief Priest’s alleged Babymama.
Someone said, “may our good not killl us…”
In my opinion, Lucky Udu was only being kind, just like I was being kind in standing up for a younger lady recently only for the mother to turn it around against me, made me look like an enemy of progress for standing up for her child. The lesson I learned from it is, not to be too involved in people’s lives—there is a way you’d stand up for people and they begin to wonder what you stand to gain from doing so. People can misinterpret your intentions while you are just being humane, so to avoid issues, mind your business.
Another thing I noticed from their chats is over-familiarity from Lucky Udu; this created a wrong impression of him to the lady.
In the same way his kindness was misinterpreted, his overfamiliarity during chats probably made her wonder why he was so free with her. You dey ask a traumatizèd woman who is probably an overthinker; “Do you party?” come still tell her, “I like you…” she will misinterpret you, but it’s not that deep, as we grow, experiences like this shape us—don’t be too free where you should be professional. Don’t be too emotional with people. Inasmuch as it’s good to be accessible, be very careful. I know someone who guides her space jealously. You are never close to her to any point that she gets vulnerable, she is always on her guard. It makes her look tough but she’s protecting herself from a lot. Sometimes goodness seems abnormal to people who have been deeply abused.
As for the lady, I don’t have any blame for her either, she was genuinely careful, any reasonable woman who has paid a keen attention to the Nigerian media space would be as careful as Helen was. Especially due to the reason she was visiting Nigeria. Even in Naija, I would prefer to stay at a hotel than a strange man’s house, also, asking to stay at Victoria Island because she is used to the environment doesn’t make her demanding.
Mr Salami allegedly asking her to come to his house was also a call for concern. And, Lucky Udu offering her a stay at his house might have been him just being kind but the kindness was misinterpreted because of whom he was offering it to—someone who hasn’t healed from past traùma, everyone is a suspect to her, you won’t blame her.
I validate all of the Kenya lady’s concerns and fears. I would be scared too. Her trust in people, especially mèn and “Nigerian mèn” has been lost.
Lucky Udu trying to convince her to come to Naija, dismissing her expressed fears while focusing on her gains would cause anyone in her position to question his motive.
She even said that the Mr Salami man used to work for Davido and her alleged baby daddy has a good relationship with Davido.
What if “Salami” was disguising as Burnaboy’s PA? What if Burnaboy didn’t book her flight and even Lucky Udu doesn’t know?
We ask women to be careful and smart to stay safe and all through the chat, Helen was being smart and careful. At a point she didn’t want to come to Naija because she didn’t think it was safe for her. A greèdy person wouldn’t do that. I didn’t see a sense of entitlement in her either.
In all, I think that she and Lucky Udu misunderstood each other and Lucky Udu’s detractors who are always waiting for an opportunity to come for him feasted on the misunderstanding. These are life experiences for Lucky. Also, he is too emotional, he should work on his emotions, dust off this experience as one of those things and move ahead but lessons have to be learned.
