Obidients drag BBNaija Season 5 winner, Laycon, over comment he made against them

 

 

 

Obidients have given Big Brother Naija season 5 winner, Olamilekan Agbeleshebioba, popularly known as Laycon, severe bashing over a comment he made against them.

 

The rapper and songwriter took to his X account on Monday and wrote, “Abeg wait ooo… so there are people (Nigerians, living in Nigeria) actively hoping and praying for things not to get better in this country because their preferred candidate isn’t the current President?”

 

Obidients on X, came after Laycon with different digital ammunitions.

 

@realTobiAkinbo said: “Laycon with a dy!ng career mocking well-meaning Nigerians and Obidients for daring to install good leadership in Nigeria. A poor boy who temporary rose to fame with the help of same people who voted and campaign for him to win BBnaija oo. This is why some people find it difficult to help poor people. @itsLaycon if BBnaija were to be INEC, would you have smell that win? You wey no get Shishi that period, how you wan take win.”

 

An X user, Gergory, also posted, “Come out with your full chest and support Jagaban! If APC has not given you gigs yet, you should boldly fight for it like SeyiLaw! However, I think you should know this – on that day you won BBN, the streets of Port Harcourt went crazy and celebrated your victory! The whole of Nigeria celebrated you! Also, when MKO Abiola’s mandate was snatched, the whole of Nigeria fought for him because other tribes forgot you or MKO were Yoruba’s…Just so you know, no matter how dark the night is, morning must come!”

 

A user, Blessed Ajoke, wrote, “Truth is bitter. Instead of us to join hands in calling a spade a spade you are still of the opinion that people wishes for things not to get better, yeye. Who no like better thing. Embrace the truth and facts the government has failed us.”

 

 

But Laycon doubled-down on his position.

 

He said: “I have always stand on the opinion that our leaders are a reflection of who we are as individuals. And as long as we as individuals don’t change, we’ll continue to experience what we give out. Living with the notion that disagreement means hostility and bad intention is wrong.

 

“I put out a tweet concerning a conversation I had earlier today (yesterday) and the mentions and response to the tweet shows how much some of you do not read to UNDERSTAND before replying. Take a moment and think before talking or typing.

 

“And yes, I believe our leaders are a reflection of we as a people. We have bad leaders Yes, but bad people become bad leaders, not the other way around. The everyday people who make life hard for everyday people need only be in power for them to become leaders.

 

“The fuel attendants during fuel scarcity, the POS attendant during Naira scarcity, if they become leaders what would they do? The ones earning money in dollars, do you think they pray for exchange rate to reduce or increase? Your super power of criticising should be aimed at yourself once in a while.”
