Benin [/b]finds itself immersed in a fervent display of dissent as the youth populace takes to the streets, vehemently protesting the presence of the renowned crossdresser, Bobrisky [/b], within its bounds. The catalyst for this uproar dates back to a controversial incident last year when the socialite, in a seemingly jesting manner, quipped in a video, expressing a desire for the Oba of Benin to marry him.
This audacious remark did not sit well with many Benin youths, who perceived it as an affront to their cultural values. Consequently, they have collectively deemed Bobrisky a persona non-grata within their community.
Reports circulating suggest that the controversial crossdresser is slated to return to the state for an upcoming event, further fueling the discontent among the youths [/b]of Benin. In response to this impending visit, a multitude of young individuals flooded the streets, brandishing placards that conveyed their unequivocal disapproval, with messages such as “He is a bad influence; We don’t want him in our state.”
As tensions rise, the protest has garnered mixed reactions from onlookers and social media users. Some express sympathy, emphasizing the socioeconomic challenges faced by Nigerian youth, while others question the significance of such protests amid pressing national issues. Notable reactions include King_weba stating, “You see poverty and illiteracy is a problem in Nigeria, that’s why the govt can call us jobless Nigeria youth all this isn’t necessary Abeg,” and klassy_peace remarking, “I don’t understand…with everything going on now How is this important …rubbish.”
In a climate where dissent takes various forms, Evablaze41 questions the necessity of the protest, saying, “See them jobless youths country nor hard reach where Una Dey Abi?” Meanwhile, adorable_joan suggests redirecting the energy towards addressing infrastructure concerns: “Make Una protest for your bad roads to be fixed.”
The discourse surrounding this protest underscores the multifaceted challenges facing Nigerian youth, intertwining cultural sensitivities, societal priorities, and the expression of discontent in a rapidly evolving social landscape.
For those interested in witnessing the fervor of the protest firsthand, a video capturing the demonstration has been shared, adding a visual dimension to the unfolding narrative.
