Nigerian social media commentator Saida Boj has reacted to the backlash surrounding comedian Real Warri Pikin after a viral video showed singer Timaya carrying her during a performance.
Reacting to the controversy, SaidaBoj questioned why some people were upset about the interaction, arguing that married women should have an understanding with their husbands about such situations.
“We only want women who understand men in their marriages and not the other way round. Dem tell you say her husband no dey okay with wetin she do?”
She further suggested that Real Warri Pikin may have discussed the situation with her husband before attending the event and that he may have been comfortable with it.
“Make I burst una head. E even possible say before she left for that event, she told her husband, ‘Baby, I want jump for Timaya body o,’ them don even laugh about the matter. The man fit don talk say, ‘Okay, but make he no too press you.’”
SaidaBoj also criticised those who reacted strongly to the video, saying they were treating the situation as though Real Warri Pikin were their wife.
“But una carry the matter for head like say she be una wife. Why are you guys crashing out because her husband understood what she did with Timaya?”
She concluded by arguing that similar behaviour by married men often receives less criticism.
“Married men do the same thing and you guys don’t complain.”
