Prominent Nigerian film actors, Dayo Amusa and Ugezu J Ugezu, have joined the chorus of dissenting voices on social media, expressing their dissatisfaction with the outcome of the contest held during the movie premiere of Eniola Ajao’s “Beast of Two Worlds: Ajanaku.”
Dayo Amusa criticized the panel of judges for collectively deciding to declare crossdresser Bobrisky as the best-dressed female at the event. In a recent video posted on her page, Amusa voiced her disappointment with the decision while emphasizing that she harbors no ill will towards Bobrisky.
The Nollywood star denounced the decision as disrespectful and superficial, echoing sentiments expressed by Toyin Abraham and others who questioned the rationale behind crowning Bobrisky, given his identity as a man dressed in female attire.
Amusa highlighted that such a decision blatantly disregards the efforts of all the women who meticulously dressed up and attended the movie premiere. Her video surfaced following a viral clip of Toyin Abraham reacting to Bobrisky’s victory.
In a similar vein, veteran actor Ugezu J. Ugezu also condemned the organizers’ decision, questioning their judgment and emphasizing the disrespect it showed towards the women in attendance. Ugezu expressed his sentiments, underscoring the need for organizers to reconsider their approach to such events. He wrote:
“So many people have lost it.
HOW CAN A MAN WIN THE PRICE FOR “THE BEST DRESSED FEMALE” IN AN EVENT ORGANIZED BY HUMAN BEINGS?
Is this sincerely not a slap on the faces of our women who are working hard everyday to be the best of themselves?
Sometimes, I pause and ponder, where are we headed in this country?
No be government do this one oooo.
Na we just dey mumu dey insult our country.”
