BOBRISKY | In a stunning turn of events, popular Nigerian socialite Bobrisky was rushed to the hospital after falling ill in police custody today. The news sent waves across the nation, eliciting diverse reactions from Nigerians.
Favoritism or Genuine Concern For Bobrisky?
A segment of the population suspects foul play, believing the police are exploiting Bobrisky’s condition to afford him preferential treatment. “Why the special care for Bobrisky alone?” they ask. Critics argue this perceived favoritism underscores the country’s entrenched double standards.

“It seems like this is more of a personal concern for you, as many people in Nigeria may not be aware of Bob’s arrest but are well-informed about other government-related matters. It appears to be an issue that stands out to you as a “major problem.”
A Diversionary Tactic?
Others view the news as a strategic distraction from Nigeria’s pressing issues – economic woes, insecurity and political tensions. “Is this another attempt to shift focus away from our real problems?” they ponder. This skepticism reflects widespread disillusionment with the status quo.
