While everyone is looking at the seriousness of this issue, famous Nigerian comedian Basket Mouth has taken it as another one of his jokes.
Basket Mouth responded to the Oba Rilwan Akiolu’s controversial statement threatening the Igbos in Lagos to vote for the gubernatorial candidate of his choice.
Basket Mouth put up a picture of a life jacket on his Instagram account with the caption “Now selling. Call 08055555121 for inquiries. 50% discount for Ibos.“
The last statement is a play on the Oba’s controversial statement that any Igbo person that goes against his directive “will perish in the water.”
