BBNaija All-Star: Outrage over Seyi’s comment about son

Seyi Awolowo




Viewers of the popular reality television show, Big Brother Naija All-Star Edition, have shown their disdain for a comment made by one of the housemates in the competition.



The contestant while speaking in the house made a remark about hoping to have three boys. While giving reason for his choice of offspring, Seyi said, I gave birth to a boy first. He will f*ck your daughter. I have a shina account for my son. I pay money into it. I have it for one of my guys sons. I have that account for a lot of my boys sons.



They will f*ck your daughter. My boys will come and meet me saying, ˜Daddy, I need the Benz. I will give them the Benz and the keys to the girls house. They will go and run trains on peoples daughters. Its funny to you because you think youre tipsy. I will give birth to boys and they will fuck peoples daughters.



It should be known that the context of Awolowos comment, run trains is understood to mean men taking turns to have sex with a woman. Moreso, the term, shina in the Yoruba language translates to philandering,



The reality TV stars remarks have sparked an outrage mostly on social media, X (formerly known as Twitter), with some of the users of the platform slamming Seyi for his utterance. But worthy of note is the response of theLagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA).



In a tweet via the agency, it said, We strongly condemn thecomments made by Seyi Awolowo in the disturbing video that has surfaced. Such remarks perpetuate harmful attitudes and contribute to a culture of violence and abuse, the agency said.

The bystanders passive response in the video is also deeply concerning because it only enables such behaviour to persist. It is important for us all to actively speak up in circumstances such as this. We remain committed to addressing issues of domestic and sexual violence, it said.(Courtesy, excluding headline, Daily Trust)
