Olarenwaju, controversial self-acclaimed transgender better known as Bobrisky,
says it’s funny how people now solicit financial help online — amid the
coronavirus crisis — as if it’s Christmas season of giving.
The controversial
internet personality took to his Instagram page on Wednesday to disclose that
the act is gradually becoming a norm.
“Wait, is COVID-19 a
Christmas period or public holiday? Why are you asking for money? I weak,” he
wrote in a mixture of English and Pidgin.
Bobrisky’s comment
comes at about the same time when Runtown, a singer, had announced a N10
million giveway to people without money to enable them stock up ahead of the
mouthed looming lockdown.
The COVID-19
pandemic has largely affected the country’s socio-economic landscape prompting
the federal government to intensify efforts to combat further spread of the
virus through various initiatives.
The government had,
among other of such measures, ordered nationwide closure of schools, markets
and restricted social as well as religious gatherings.
Sodiq Yusuf, rapper
better known as CDQ, had also pushed for rent cuts by property owners to help
their tenants amid the economic burden of COVID-19.
Nigeria currently
has 51 confirmed cases of the pandemic.
