Nigerian skit maker Kevin Arua, popularly known as Kevinblak, has revealed that threats against him will not stop him from using his platform to speak out on issues surrounding governance.
The content creator made this known during an interview on Channels Television’s Rubbin’ Mind, where he discussed the backlash he has faced over his satirical political content.
Kevinblak said he has received several threats because of his criticism of bad governance, particularly through his popular political character, ‘Governor Amuneke’.
Recounting one of the incidents, the skit maker disclosed that he once received a message from an individual claiming to know where he lived and threatening to come after him.
Despite the threats, Kevinblak said he was aware of the possible consequences before venturing into political satire and remains prepared to face whatever comes with it.
He said, “I have gotten countless threats because of my contents criticising bad governance. Well, it’s a journey I knew the implication before I started so what that’s going to happen should happen. I once received a message from someone, saying he knows my house and they would come after me.”
