Bobrisky Is Evil, We Must Stop Him Now – Nigerian Women
Nigerian women have moved against transgender celebrity, Bobrisky, describing him as an evil man who must be stopped.
The National Council for Women Society (NCWS) commended the Inspector General of Police, Mr Mohammed Adamu, for spearheading the campaign against moral decadence in the country.
The society also lauded the Director General, National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), Mr Olusegun Runsewe, for exposing the unbecoming conducts of Nigerian transgender celebrity, “Bobrisky”, as the IGP intervenes to stem the ugly trend.
The President of NCWS, Dr Laraba Shoda, in a statement in Lagos issued through Runsewe’s media aide, Mr Frank Meke decried the erosion of nation’s cultural values and the importation of alien cultures such as indecent exposure and open sexual activities on electronic media.
She lamented that the wanton show of cross gender activities was projecting a negative image to Nigerian youths as Bobrisky’s activities were not representative of nation’s culture.
According to her, the Nigerian culture and law recognised the clear distinction between men and women, reiterating that anything to the contrary was absurd, unacceptable and should be resisted.
“It is regrettable and strange for Bobrisky to publicly declare that he has 24 boy friends in high places as he stated on his Instagram handle,” she said.
Shoda called on Nigerian government and all well-meaning citizens to rise up and stop the evil before it would have adverse effects on children and the future of the nation.
“The protection of our noble cultural heritage and national image is of paramount importance to us all,” she said.
The Nigeria Police raided a birthday party organised by popular Nigerian cross-dresser, Idris Okunneye, popularly known as Bobrisky in Lekki area of Lagos State.
The Lagos State police command said it stormed the venue of the birthday party due to sensitive information it received.
Bobrisky put up the party in celebration of his 28th birthday.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
