“Is cross-dressing Nigeria’s problem right now?
“Is it more important than the dwindling economy, insecurity rocking the country, exploitation by all these service providers like multichoice and Co, and so on?
“I wonder how the country will improve with these crop of politicians.”
One Fairmedia wrote; “Arrest bobrisky, he is leading the kids astray. It’s a shame how Bobrisky flaunts decadence and depravity on our collective faces, debasing the minds of our children. We need people with solutions, we need people with ideas to develop the country, we can not allow impoverished, and deceased people like Bobrisky destroy the minds of our kids and get them twisted.”
