Bovi Vs America

-

COMEDIANBO­VI revealed recently that he had been banned from applying for visa and or entering into the United States of America after his altercatio­n with a visa- issuing officer in Nigeria.

How can a WHOLE Bovi who is also a ‘ human rights’ activist/ comedian be banned from entering the US and he was quiet all this while? He had not mobilised fellow ‘ rights’ activists like Mr Macaroni, Falz, DJ Switch, Deji Adeyanju and other # ENDSARS ‘ we nor go gree’ crowd to storm all US embassies in Nigeria to protest why one of their own was banned from the US?

Something is not adding up!

In fact, one expected Bovi to wear one of his famous costumes ( a blood stained American flag this time around) deriding America like he did during the # EndSARS protests... but he chose to suck it in and be quiet only to reveal it when a fan asked him to come perform in the US!

What led to his ban must really be serious than he is letting out. Anyway sha, I hope the ban is not up to 10 years because America nor dey hesitate to nack person 10 years ban o.

But sha, in all of this, T4T is most disappoint­ed in Mr Macaroni! That he had not mobilised his fellow # ENDSARS gang, or even issued series of press statements on his Social Media handles? Na Nigeria bodi dem for dey get power. Ordinary American embassy, just one building, they could not lock down, prevent staff from going in and coming out like they blocked the Lekki toll gate for over two weeks in October 2020!

Anyway, there is still time.
