Slamming Bobrisky’s win, Tope Mark-Odigie said:
TOPE MARK-ODIGIE: I’m worried about the price we are willing to pay to trend as a country, as individuals, as celebrities. I think it is a wrong move. I think that, I’m not against Bobrisky personally, I don’t have anything against him. He has made his lifestyle decisions, it doesn’t concern me. But as a country, in terms of values, morals, in terms of building your brand and knowing who you are, if you want to trend your movie, you need to find a more decent way to do it than just saying we’re giving Bobrisky the best dressed so that everybody will talk about what we’re doing.
I actually saw him about three weeks ago in Abuja. I was stepping out of the airport and I saw the back. I saw somebody’s back and I was like “ah ah, who packaged back like this?” So I was rushing to sorta like see the person’s face. Lo and behold, it was Aunty Bobrisky. I saw the face and I just called my husband that I just saw Bobrisky. The back, it was very rounded. It occurred to me because he was standing to be picked up at the VIP place where the usual cars don’t go, the car came to pick him up. So there is a market for this thing. There is an audience for this thing. There is a very high profile support of what we are claiming is illegal in this country. And until we are ready to admit that. When I saw the story of the movie premiere, I thought either he paid by himself to win so that he will trend, because we know that people do these kind of things. Or the movie producers gave it to him so that the movie would trend. Whichever way, he is influential, and he has gathered people to follow him. People might say they don’t like the lifestyle but they follow him. Whatever you follow shows you’re supporting it.
