Nigerian comedian and actor, Ayo Ajewole, widely known as Woli Agba, has strongly criticized his fellow colleagues for their disrespectful portrayal of women in their comedic skits. Expressing his concern, he highlighted the alarming increase in the disregard for women’s dignity and bodies on social media platforms.
Ayo Ajewole shared his frustration about the frequent need to switch from watching videos online with his son to reading the Bible due to stumbling upon inappropriate content. He questioned the audacious trend of touching women’s buttocks for the sake of creating content, wondering about the underlying motives.
“I find it unsettling to witness the rising disrespect for women’s bodies under the guise of content creation. How and for whom is this content being created? Countless times, I’ve had to shift from watching to reading the Bible with my son, trying to avoid immoral videos.
What’s going on? What’s the rush? What’s the agenda? This generation seems to be all about superficial enjoyment without any values or meaningful skills.”
Out of the numerous concerning instances, he singled out one and questioned the newfound boldness to touch sensitive areas, emphasizing that culture and tradition should not be forgotten.
He further criticized the detrimental impact of such content, questioning its comedic value and its impact on society.
Ayo Ajewole emphasized that there are alternative ways to convey messages without resorting to such disrespectful gestures.
He urged aspiring comedians and content creators to strive for recognition through positive and applause-worthy content.
“Is this truly humorous? Can it even be called comedy? If you aspire to be recognized, let it be for something that earns the applause of everyone. Best wishes.”

What parents should teach their daughters about marriage” Woli Agba advises
A few months ago, Woli Agba directed a poignant message towards parents, particularly in relation to their daughters.
His counsel was prompted by the tragic passing of singer Osinachi Nwachukwu, attributed to domestic violence.
Reflecting on this unfortunate incident, the comedian urged parents to instill in their daughters the wisdom that returning home after an unsuccessful marriage is far preferable to returning home in a casket.
He emphasized the sobering reality that if a woman were to lose her life within the context of her marriage, she would promptly be substituted with another.
In his words, he expressed, “It’s essential to teach your daughters that returning home after a marriage doesn’t work out is far better than arriving home in a coffin. Remember, if you pass away in the marriage, you’ll be swiftly replaced.”
The message resonates with a profound call for valuing life and safety above societal pressures, capturing the gravity of the consequences that can arise from toxic relationships.
