Really? Have you ever been raped? Or anyone you know? What is hilarious about it?? Have you asked your mother, sisters, female cousins or lady friends if it's funny? Or maybe anyone who may have been raped? Can you ask them then get back to us and tell us how funny they think it is?? Untill you do that and collect the data, do not tell anyone who is not finding it funny, how sentimental they are being!

Why shuld a lady drain a mans pocket when she is not ready for sex.
Truth is d joke is so on point. most 9ja girl will do things that will make the guy feel he is being used. How many men will she decieve bfor she pays for her deeds. Pple mature up pls.
Basket mouth may hav said a joke but obviously his joke is a wake up call to 9ja babes who look at men in d eyes and call them fools.

@MsSanta.
Molestation is when u are taking advantage of and not when u delibrately compromise ur position thru dubious and greedy demands. Abi u neva hear say free lunce nor dey anywhere.
Abeg free ursef jare.

Seriously.?
Stop being too sentimental

If u knw basketmouth well enough then you should know that he is alway blunt in his field (that's 1 thing I lyk about him).
And I can't find anything substantial enough to ignite such an inconsiderable outburst of critics.

Come to think of it,
It's these same people that always buy tickets to go for his uncensored concerts,
now tell me who is fooling who.?!

If you are a lady and you think what Bright said is wrong,then you should consider not treating men like scums..
Jokes or rather jokers feeds on the ills of the societies.

Ps:If u're a victim don't find who to unleash your rage on,
seek for help..
Rehabs are always open
#peace

Basketmouth maybe wrong about the molest joke but he said the truth, this is what is really happening in Nigeria(as we read them in news) about girls going out with boys for money and boys molesting girls after the spending. I think it is a wake up call to our youths but people misunderstood his joke like he said.

Seun, o ga fun e o...

This same topic is few topics below this one na...

*mukina's absence is thoroughly felt*

His a joker and always a joker, his name is "BASKET" Mouth meaning, his lips have no control because he jokes a lot...I won't hound on him too much but this is joke gone too far although I don't think he encouraged rape...Geez, Nigerians need to relax, he issues an apology and learned from his mistakes. All judgmental people need to fall back and take a seat.

i am actually the person dat invented dat joke so insult me instead
of basket mouth if a junior comedian like me makes this joke i will
have been popular ...
the girls calling for basket mouth head are actually ashawos that
basket mouth is spoiling their bizness and guys that want to
please their online girlfriend

Na rape victims dey take it seriously.
The joke was actually funny to me.

This is bullshi.t!

All because the OP is a Mod, he created his own topic and put it on FP when someone else has already shared the same topic yesterday (https://www.nairaland.com/1581583/basketmouth-under-fire-molest-joke).

@OP, you better do the needful. Or you can Go and Die

The truth is alwys a bitter bills for nigerians 2 swallow. U'all giving subjective views about Mr basket thinks U will run him down by making him trend on this? Nope U jus fueling his popularity fire. Glo wouldn't be daft enuff 2 rip him off his position as an ambassador # 2cap it all after all una twitter trend about tha senetor who is trying 2 make molestation official, was he removed or impeached?

Elenu apere(Baskekmouth) u too much boss....lol

This was meant to be a joke, and a joke it should be.
I ain't surprised at all, the truth is always bitter.

Mind you, this is a common joke in Nigeria. They're criticising the guy possibly because of envy. Everybody knows the joke.

Do you really understand what a joke is? There are jokes about accidents, tall people, short people, dwarfs, hunchbacks, pregnant women, stammering, HIV/aids, cancer,drunkenness, etc.
Is there anything funny about them? If all these people come out complaining will there be jokes? The joke was more about the overly demanding nature of Nigerian girls and not about rape! it was not just a joke but a joke from a joker! You were suppose either laugh about the absurdity or ignore it!

that joke is very educative,it is full of lesson for men.
