Reality TV star Ike Onyema criticizes Nigerians for prioritizing celebrity gossip about Bobrisky and Very Dark Man over rising living costs. Highlighting the increasing prices of essentials, Ike calls for a shift in focus toward pressing economic issues, emphasizing the importance of addressing the cost of living crisis.
Reality TV star, Ike Onyema, has criticized Nigerians for focusing on the ongoing drama surrounding Very Dark Man (VDM) and Bobrisky, instead of addressing the country's rising cost of living. In an Instagram post, Ike expressed frustration over misplaced priorities, noting how people are more interested in celebrity gossip than the pressing economic challenges Nigerians are facing.
He highlighted the increasing prices of essential commodities such as gas, food, and rent, which have drastically risen in recent months. Meanwhile, discussions online have been dominated by the recent controversy surrounding Bobrisky, who was allegedly linked to legal issues involving the abuse of Naira. This matter gained further attention after a recording by VDM surfaced.
Ike’s comment, calling those focused on the Bobrisky issue “clowns,” sparked mixed reactions. Some supported his view, agreeing that the focus on trivial matters distracts from more important issues, while others called him out, suggesting that both matters deserve attention.
The star's remarks have drawn attention to the broader conversation about Nigeria's ongoing economic challenges, where citizens are grappling with inflation and high living costs. Despite the criticism of misplaced priorities, this debate reflects the larger issue of how Nigerians navigate conversations about social, political, and economic matters in an ever-challenging environment.
