In what started like a mere joke a comedian was trying to impress his fans with on social media, it turned out that Basketmouth would have to pay dearly for his mistake. It all went viral on social media the joke about rape Basketmouth made but would he be supporting the act? I bet you, absolute No!
However, all he has to do now because of the several attacks from the women folks and some activists is to find ways to appeal to the minds of his fans he is never in support of the evil act.
The ace comedian who denied running to UK because of his infamous joke has also been advised by the former minister of Education, Nigeria Obiageli Ezekwesili to use the mistake as a lesson and the collateral damage is he [Basketmouth] becoming an activist against rape. Wow! Basketmouth must have learned his lesson even if there is truth in what he said.
…”you should use this sad episode as an occasion for good by becoming most visible anti-rape activist,” the former Minister wrote in a series of Tweets.
She added, “We all make mistakes at one time or another and when it happens, the measures we take to minimize the damage it causes our community matters! Advocacy against the rising scourge of rape in Nigeria would definitely benefit from the voice of a very talented gentleman like Basketmouth.”
