UK-based Nigerian comedian Abisoye Olukoya Michael, better known as Oyemykke, has criticized actress and content creator Nons Miraj for the poor representation of Nigeria on her dating show.
In a video, the comedian shared his thoughts on the dating show "The Hunts Game Show." He expressed difficulty in sharing his opinion, fearing it might be misinterpreted as hatred.
Uncertain if the show was a reality show, dating show, or insult contest, Oyemykke questioned the purpose of the show. He pointed out that the show poorly represents Nigeria, with participants often using foul language and insulting each other. Oyemykke recounted an incident where a guest watching the show on YouTube witnessed participants hurling abusive words at each other.
Oyemykke emphasized that if a foreigner watched the show, it would create a negative impression of Nigerians. He urged Nons Miraj to revisit the concept of the show and give it more substance.
The criticism sparked reactions from social media users who agreed with Oyemykke, labeling the show as an insult contest lacking depth and failing to deliver on its dating show premise.
