THE Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) has condemned the remarks of one of the housemates in the ongoing BB Naija All-Stars competition, Seyi Awolowo, even as viewers of the popular reality television show also show their disdain for the comment.
Recall that the contestant, while speaking in the house, made a remark about hoping to have three boys, saying, “I gave birth to a boy first. He will f*ck your daughter. I have a shina account for my son. I pay money into it. I have it for one of my guy’s sons. I have that account for a lot of my boys’ sons.
“They will f*ck your daughter. My boys will come and meet me saying, ‘Daddy, I need the Benz.’ I will give them the Benz and the keys to the girl’s house. They will go and run trains on people’s daughters. It’s funny to you because you think you’re tipsy. I will give birth to boys, and they will fuck people’s daughters.”
It is worth noting that the context of Awolowo’s comment, run trains, is understood to mean men taking turns to have sex with a woman. Moreso, the term, shina in the Yoruba language translates to “womanising”.
However, the Lagos DSVA, via a tweet, said: “We strongly condemn the comments made by Seyi Awolowo in the disturbing video that has surfaced. Such remarks perpetuate harmful attitudes and contribute to a culture of violence and abuse.
“The bystanders’ passive response in the video is also deeply concerning because it only enables such behaviour to persist. It is important for us all to actively speak up in circumstances such as this. We remain committed to addressing issues of domestic and sexual violence.”
The reality TV star’s remarks have sparked an outrage mostly on social media platform, X (Twitter), with some of the users of the platform lambasting Seyi for his utterance.
