Last week, some people, who felt
quite disappointed and angered by the r*pe
joke cracked by comedian, Akpororo on the
stage of AY show, poured out their feelings
on all his social media timelines. And after
receiving backlash over his choice of words,
Akpororo took to Instagram to publicly
apologize to all, especially the women who
felt hurt by his inability to have learnt from a
similar experience of Basketmouth. “Ladies
and gentlemen, my attention has been drawn
to one of the jokes I did recently. I want to
take this space to formally apologize to all
who have been offended by the joke
especially the women folk. It was never my
intent to put something as offensive as r*pe
on a pedestal. “I hold women in the highest
esteem and this is drawn from the love and
care I have enjoyed from my mum and
sisters over the years and will never
promote anything that would be detrimental
to their wellbeing. I was only trying to crack
up my audience. PLEASE FORGIVE that same
Akpororo that you have helped to grow in the
industry,” the remorseful rib-cracker wrote.
These days, Nigerians especially the women
no longer entertain any form of words
against women, either by joke or otherwise.
They are all fighting a good course to protect
the women against every form of violence.
