Popular Interior decorator and socialite, Ehi Ogbebor has come out to beg Benin indigenes over Bobrisky’s comment about their King.

Recall that the crossdresser recently asked the Oba of Benin to marry him and this caused a lot of controversies online.

Reacting to Bob’s apology, Ehi said that she is also a Benin woman, and she didn’t find what Bobrisky said funny at all, but her fellow indigenes should forgive and forget after the apology.

Ehi Ogbebor added that Benin indigenes do not joke with their king, so he must always be accorded respect.

Her words, “Just to state that am a Benin Woman that takes Pride in my culture and Heritage. I ddnt find it funny too at all. I wasn’t there when the video was done neither did I know about that video. I saw it on social media too n was in utter shock. I was upset too. ….. We don’t joke with Our KING. Our Great KING…..Pls find it in your hearts to forgive … forgiveness is divine. No one is above mistake. Walahowoiwoi. OBA GHATO KPERE……ISEEEEEEE.”

WOW.

Bobrisky is a Nigerian internet personality and philanthropist who is known as a prominent transgender woman in Nigeria, a country with no LGBT rights. She is also known for her presence on the social media app Snapchat.

Born Okuneye Idris Olarenwaju in 1992, Bobrisky completed her secondary school education at King’s College, Lagos. She also attended graduate school at the University of Lagos (UNILAG).

She became recognized by being highly controversial on social media for the ultra conservative Nigerian standards. Bobrisky was able to gather traffic to her Snapchat account when she claimed she had a lover who is assumed to be of masculine gender despite the law in Nigeria stating that same sex relationships is an offence punishable by serving 14 years in a penitentiary.

Bobrisky has a fair share of fans and has been asked by certain event planners to give speeches at their events. In 2019, Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, Director General of Nigeria’s National Council for Arts and Culture, called Bobrisky “a national disgrace” and said she would be “dealt with ruthlessly” if caught on the streets.
