Bobrisky’s Prison Saga Is Proof That Vested Interest Is Nigeria’s Main Problem – Rufai Oseni

Popular Journalist, Rufai Oseni has come out to say that he would be surprised if justice is served in the prison saga involving Bobrisky.

He recently had his say via a post shared on X, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, when Fisayo Soyombo made his own revelations about the prison saga involving the crossdresser, nothing was done about it, so he doubts it will be addressed now.

Rufai added that vested interest is the main problem of Nigeria, and that is why real issues are still not solved.

His words, “I will be suprised if justice is done in this prison saga, when fisayo soyombo made revelations about the prison nothing was done, many petitions on the prison by been sent to the authorities in the past but nothing has been done.I just hope it will not end in social media clout and defamation suits here and there– and the real issues will not be solved, vested interest is the problem of Nigeria, we are not ready to fight the ills of society.”

WOW.

Bobrisky is a Nigerian internet personality and philanthropist who is known as a prominent transgender woman in Nigeria, a country with no LGBT rights. She is also known for her presence on the social media app Snapchat.

Born Okuneye Idris Olarenwaju in 1992, Bobrisky completed her secondary school education at King’s College, Lagos. She also attended graduate school at the University of Lagos (UNILAG).

She became recognized by being highly controversial on social media for the ultra conservative Nigerian standards. Bobrisky was able to gather traffic to her Snapchat account when she claimed she had a lover who is assumed to be of masculine gender despite the law in Nigeria stating that same sex relationships is an offence punishable by serving 14 years in a penitentiary.

Bobrisky has a fair share of fans and has been asked by certain event planners to give speeches at their events. In 2019, Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, Director General of Nigeria’s National Council for Arts and Culture, called Bobrisky “a national disgrace” and said she would be “dealt with ruthlessly” if caught on the streets.
