Why I said President Buhari should pay me for keeping jobless youths busy – BBNaija’s Boma Akpore reveals
BBnaija star, Boma Akpore has restated that President Buhari should pay him for keeping jobless youths busy.
It could be recalled that the reality star was on the lips of many Nigerians for flocking with a married woman, Tega during the show.
Even after they left the house, netizens continued to attack him each time he makes a new post.
Shocked by this, Boma Akpore stated that President Buhari should pay him for keeping jobless youths busy.
Speaking about this in a recent interview with Punch, he maintained that his statement was never a stunt.
He said;
“There was no offense or disrespect intended. I was referring to the teeming number of trolls (cyber bullying) that we (Big Brother Naija housemates) get online. A large number of people stay on social media to simply pull people down and most times, they don’t even have the full context of the situation before sharing their negativity.
Nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes. It is bad enough when one has to deal with the mistakes they made. It is worse adding the backlash, negative commentary and cancel culture coming from every single angle.
It really gets so overwhelming and sometimes, one really have to ask if the people putting up all the negative comments do not have other positive and meaningful things to do. I feel like I became a magnet for negativity after the show and it was unending, so I lashed out. After all, I am only human. Again, I meant no disrespect to anyone.”
Asked if he thinks it was an insult to his fans, the ex footballer said;
“The comments were clearly addressed to the trolls and all those who keep bombarding me with toxic and negative comments.
It was definitely not to my fans who I love, respect and appreciate for being extremely supportive, generous, considerate, cooperative and understanding. I am thankful for the love my fans continue to show me. That is what keeps me going.”
