Popular Nigerian crossdresser and internet celebrity, Okuneye Idris Olarenwaju, better known by his alias Bobrisky, has once again stirred controversy online—this time taking a swipe at men living in the United Kingdom. In a bold post shared via his official Instagram account, Bobrisky labeled UK men as financially unappealing. According to him, they do not meet his personal standards of luxury and class. His comment has since triggered a wave of discussions online, especially among Nigerians in the diaspora. “UK men are too broke, avoid them,” Bobrisky declared. He further described a lifestyle he finds off-putting, claiming that most men in the UK share apartments and go as far as splitting bills, which he considers undesirable and even degrading. The lifestyle of cost-sharing among men does not align with Bobrisky’s perception of wealth or masculinity. “They share apartments and bills amongst themselves, ewwww,” he added, in an apparent expression of disgust. Standards for Suitors: Designer Brands Only Bobrisky did not stop at criticizing UK men’s financial behavior—he also laid out the minimum requirements any potential suitor must meet before approaching him. These include being clad in luxury designer clothing and accessories, particularly a Presidential Rolex wristwatch and designer slippers. “Before any UK guy can approach me, please come correct,” he said. “The least wristwatch I want to see you wear is a Presidential Rolex and designer slippers.” Justifying his expectations, Bobrisky pointed to his own lifestyle, stating that if he, as a woman, could afford and confidently wear luxury items like a Presidential Rolex, then it should be no excuse for men not to do the same. The statement has sparked a mix of reactions, with many questioning Bobrisky’s perception of wealth and class, while others defend his right to set personal preferences. The original post was shared via this X (formerly Twitter) link, now circulating widely across platforms.
The Nigeria Youths Frontiers and Peace Advocates (NYFPA) has criticized social media influencer Reno Omokri for his recent comments targeting Nigerian clerics, particularly Pastor Becky Enenche of Dunamis International Gospel Centre. Omokri sparked controversy within the Christian community by referring to Pastor Enenche as a “Yahoo girl on the altar” after she emphasized the importance of tithing during a sermon. In response, the NYFPA condemned Omokri’s remarks, calling them “inflammatory, baseless, and deeply irresponsible.” The group argued that his words were unbecoming of someone who identifies as a political activist and public commentator. Samuel Geofrey, the NYFPA’s National Publicity Secretary, issued a statement saying, “Reno Omokri’s comments are an affront to millions of Nigerians who hold their faith and spiritual leaders in high regard. His choice of language demonstrates a profound lack of respect for Christianity and undermines the principles of dialogue and mutual understanding in a civilized society.” The group also criticized Omokri’s controversial public history, alleging inconsistencies in his career, personal life, and political stances. They accused him of exploiting divisive rhetoric to maintain public relevance, often to the detriment of unity and constructive discourse. Reaffirming their commitment to truth, justice, and peace, the NYFPA urged Nigerians to reject divisive narratives and work toward fostering mutual respect and understanding. The statement added, “Omokri’s remarks not only insult Pastor Becky Enenche but also disregard the millions of Nigerians who deeply value their faith and spiritual leaders. His words betray a profound disrespect for Christianity and the foundational principles of dialogue and mutual respect in a civilized society.” The group further expressed disappointment, stating that Omokri, who positions himself as a moral and political figure, has a reputation marred by inconsistency, self-interest, and a tendency to incite unnecessary controversies.
