Again, Olusegun Runsewe, the Director General, National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), has slammed Nigeria’s popular transgender, Idris ‘Bobrisky’ Okuneye, saying her impact on society is worse than Ebola’s.
Runsewe on Saturday said Bobrisky poses ”serious hazards” to Nigerian youths. He went further to say if Bobrisky’s activities were not promptly curtailed, the resultant effect would be worse than Ebola outbreak. He said Nigerian youths deserved to be protected from imitating the Bobrisky.
Runsewe urged Nigerian youths to stop imitating Bobrisky, by remaining ”responsible and good ambassadors of the nation.”
”Bobrisky is a national disaster, an embarrassment to the country, engaging in cultural corruption as a cross-dresser and we have to start to curtail his activities before it gets out of hand. We will not allow Bobrisky to destroy the future of our youths and the unborn Nigerians,” he said.
Runsewe alleged that after Bobrisky’s birthday was halted in Lekki, Lagos by the police recently, a good number of the boys she was training left her. “So that was an achievement”, he said.
According to him, Bobrisky’s activities negate the culture and tradition of the nation and he could be excused to go to other climes where such culture of being a cross-gender would be tolerated. Runsewe urged parents to guide their wards not to emulate Bobrisky but take after ‘responsible’ celebrities in the society.
