The Honest Bunch Podcast has dismissed claims made by Mr Nigeria, Ugo Nwokolo. Ugo had accused Nedu, co-host of the podcast, of being behind the comments he made during his episode.

Speaking on Lucky Udu’s interview, Ugo stated that after paying N5 million to appear on the podcast to promote himself, he plans to embark on a trip to Poland to contest the Mr International pageant.

Ugo alleged that Nedu told him to mention names of celebrities while speaking and make a statement like “poor girls turn him on," a claim he refutes.

In response to Ugo’s claims, the Honest Bunch Podcast describes his claims as false, stating that Mr Nigeria paid for his appearance on the show and he was given the freedom to choose his topics without any restrictions and that the international model even brought a notepad outlining his points.

The Honest Bunch team expressed shock at Nwokolo’s lack of integrity and dignity by being willing to lie for fame.

The statement reads: “We have become aware of recent claims made by Ugo Nwokolo regarding his appearance on The Honest Bunch Podcast. For the sake of clarity, we would like to set the record straight.

Mr. Ugo Nwokolo appeared on our platform for a paid appearance, during which he had the freedom to select a topic of his choice, which he did. At no point did we suggest a specific topic to him, nor was he instructed on what to say, either as a team or individually. Furthermore, he was never pressured to discuss any particular issue.

He arrived with a notepad outlining his points. We are truly shocked that someone who lacks integrity and dignity-willing to spread falsehoods for fame—has been crowned by the prestigious Mr. World Nigeria (@Mrworldnigeria).

It is concerning to think that this individual is now set to represent us on the global stage.

We remain steadfast in our commitment to transparency and value the diversity of opinions expressed on our platform, regardless of our personal views. We kindly ask that the institution and the Silverbird Group look into the character of this man.”
