If you’re an active Instagram and Snapchat user, you must have heard of the name, Bobrisky, or at least seen a couple of his pictures.
Bobrisky is the male Barbie of Snapchat in the Nigerian sphere and also the most popular Nigerian on the social app.
Born as Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, Bobrisky is obviously one of those children who grew up wanting to mimic the opposite sex but tried to contain that transformation until recently.
The popular Instagram and Snapchat barbie was born in 1992 in Ebute Metta, Lagos where he attended secondary school at King’s College and graduated from Lagos State University.
Bobrisky has shared a photo of himself and his mother and fans expressed shock at the older woman’s beauty. His mother is fair in complexion and looks completely supportive of her son’s beauty business.
Prior to his complexion transformation, the Snapchat celebrity’s skin colour was just as dark as most Nigerians until he suddenly turns snow white – kudos to his bleaching cream expertise. According to him, it was a business strategy. This move immediately thrust him into the limelight via social media and he garnered both haters and admirers at the same time.
Bobrisky is a businessman from Ogun State, who now resides in Lekki, Lagos. He deals on whitening cream and plans to be a big competition of Dencia Whitenicious.
He does not care about the rumours about his sexuality or waste time firing back at critics and once posted on his Facebook page that as far as he is counting his millions and also helping people, paying his tithes to the Lord, he is totally fine.
Of course, everyone believes he is gay as he continues to mention his mysterious boyfriend who has been his sponsor. Bobrisky has been trending on Snapchat for months now and has nothing less than 22,000 views every day, especially with his fans always wanting to find out who the bae is.
His mystery bae, who he claims is Africa’s fourth richest man, reportedly gave him N7 million and a Benz. The girly guy posted pictures of the money after cashing it from the bank.
The mystery bae also plans to get Bobrisky a house next to Linda Ikeji at Banana Island. What a bae! Bobrisky is well-known as a fashionista, who likes to chat dirty and post raunchy kinds of stuff, nevertheless, his fans love him all the same. Needless to say, Bobrisky is in his mid-twenties and obviously gay.
Many believe he’s got all it takes to give Bisi Alimi – a popular Nigerian gay rights activist – a run for his money, because of his charming tone and complexion.
The social media drama queen bought a five-bedroom duplex in the Lekki peninsula area of Lagos State, early 2017 and held a housewarming party. He took to his Snapchat to show off the different sections of his house, revealing that it took him about N12 million to decorate/furnish the interior of the house.
On one occasion, Bobrisky self-declared his net worth; he boasts of having N40 million in two of his active bank accounts and still hustling to become a billionaire before the age of 30. He also said his cosmetic store is worth N30 million.
He berated haters for judging him despite the hardship he experienced before his millions started rolling in.
Just when one think people are getting fed up with news of Bobrisky, the guy continues to flaunt his good fortunes and his darling Snapchat is always his ally. Besides his businesses and social popularity, Bobrisky announced signing his first endorsement deal and landing a role in a Nollywood movie.
Controversies
As one who courts controversy, it is most surprising how Bobrisky seems to get away it. Despite the fact that his homosexual innuendos do not align with the norm of the country, the acclaimed king of Snapchat has been a media sensation. His words and social media posts are extremely controversial.
He was once arrested by the Lagos State Police Command at Lekki shortly after he publicly announced he is gay. Although his apprehension points towards publicly identifying as homosexual, Bobrisky claimed he was actually arrested following a petition that was written against him by rival and entrepreneur, Toyin Lawani.

I met a girl I thought meant the world to me, recently we were together on a date, I took her phone to check on as her boyfriend, she was enviously monitoring what I was checking on it.
I decided to check her inbox and found out she deleted every message we exchange together, to my greatest shock I show a text messages she sent to someone she stored his name in alphabet, where she's confessed feelings to the guy and did talk about marriage whilst the guy barely sent her up to two messages.
I confronted her about the messages and the guy, she told me her neighbour used her phone to send those messages to boyfriend, at that moment I believed because my brain wasn't working. I’m simply saying my feelings for her overclouded my senses.
It was when I got home and ponder about it that I realized she has made fool of my feelings.
I'm heartbroken. What should I do; confront her again and break up or continue playing along? I love her so much. ________________
CarlosTheJackal: ?y friend okey has been engaged to his fiance for a year and he told me in confidence that he wasn't going to marry the lady because she is Old and he needs a 23 year old bride instead of his 34 year old fiance.
Okey bad mouths the lady anytime we hang out together to create a bad impression about her with me but when i go visiting, the things he tells me are different from what i see with the lady.
Last year the lady called me up to please help her talk to my friend use condom when sleeping with his other flings. The truth is that i know Okey side chic who is also my great pal because she is a good talker and she can analyse politics like Maupe Ogun.
Okey promised the fiance to marry her during the last Easter so the girl had inform her parents in the village that her fiance is coming for wine carrying but the truth was that Okey was doing wine carrying for his 23 year old bride with the loan he took from his fiance. For the record, Okey is an average guy with dough but he was cash strapped then so he took 300k loan from the fiance to travel with her to the village.
I was the only one that knew about the game being played out and i was seriously bothered because this lady has really sacrificed a lot for my guy. Treating the worst STDs and forcing him to do likewise, aborting a three month old baby after the guy lied to him that he was in a secret society so if he should have a baby now that he will die. (Sounds funny but my friend has a Nigeria Oscar for his theatrics)
When they got home he dropped the lady at her place and never bothered to bring the lady to come see his family. The lady do call me every time giving me detail of what's going on just like my friend calls me to tell me of how much convincing he is still doing to the family of his 23 year old student bride. I asked my friend what about his fiance and he said she is at her father's house that he has told her that he can't marry her. I called the fiance to know if my friend is still coming and she said my friend will still show up.
Finally, my friend took the cloth the fiance made as uniform for their marriage rites and use it to go pay bride price for his 23 year old student bride. When he told me with joy that God he finally blessed him that after a lot of pressure against his marrying the 23 year old bride from her sisters that the girl's father finally agreed. I asked him what about his fiance and he said he won't tell her for now that he will just find a way to quarrel with her for the next three months then he will end it. It was then that i knew that my friend was evil and will throw anyone under the bus just for his selfish desire.
I just called the fiance and told her to forget about marriage with my friend that she should come back to Lagos to face her life because Okey is now married. She didn't believe it but when i took her through the emergency travels he makes to the East for one job or the other, the stories that i was used as an alibi to cover for him and others. The fiance was devastated and i told her to watch out for a quarrel before they will travel back. I told the lady not to be scared to tell the guy that i told her everything.
Today, my friend sees me as a Snitch and someone that couldn't keep the guys code. I told him that we are no longer those boys in school with useless code that everything we do now shapes our old age
Funny how men claim women are snitch and gossips. You are the worst kind of woman!!! Stop calling yourself a man cos I wouldn't even dream of such.
timilehin007: just chatted my "ex " Hi and she quickly updated her Facebook status:::::: "doing fine without you" See mumu, who told her I wanted us back together? I just wanted to tell her that I saw her new boyfriend in town yesterday wearing my Polo!!! The one I left in her house � ����������

In the 80's when the Indians were dominating our educational sector, the crude cremation was popular among them. I can still remember watching them from my uncles house opposite the cemetery.
I don't think its cheap, cos the gallons of kings vegetable oil they use then could cook for a whole village.
Neither am not happy the way they stole it or the way they kept it there. leaving anger aside lets not just think of bringing it back alone but lets think for it safety ...we could loan it...lets not be dogmatic .in thinking yea we are fighting for our right so as other tribes are helping the way we go about it....benin art his all over Europe are you aware that the benin art exhibition was shown in france at 2006 .think of any eurpean country benin art has not gone none my friend...bringing it back is not a big deal but how to get it and keep it and probably make money from it...thats what we should worry for ..now almost all europeans has benin art in their museum if the fight is taking to war court we could tell them to pay for the years it has been with them and after we loan it to them we tell them to keep it and pay in return montly ...by so doing every edo person benefit from it that way ...imagine all edo persons recieving that money from tourist every months in his account it will help boost the ecomomy and promote tourism some part of the money will also go to tourism...then when we have a good country we require all back ....deltans collect busary every month in schools but we dont this could be our busary...cant you see
Otemwen, you spoke well.
But these are not just artifacts but historical symbols of Benin heritage. There are secret Edo groups on facebook who have been fighting for the return of these works and they have succeeded in getting some back.
big3boy: i read in one book of history where they narrated biiiiiiiggg false stories of human sacrivises to justify their colonising benin. the facts is, of sooooo many pictures shown in the paper of history, no single picture of human sacrivise is there
They just had to cook up a story to invade Benin.....they had it all planned for like 5yrs and choose the Ague period.
GrammarCheck: Ode. Odion Osagie is a Benin man. You are so myopic. Gosh! Your entire stratosphere revolves around Ariaria market. Thank God for N100 data, you have managed to experience internet.
JoshMedia: The same necessary value that wasn't awarded before some of it was sold/stolen?
Take it or leave it, it looks more attractive and valuable in the British Museum than it's previous residence.
We tend to refer to these piece of history as just artifacts, but I beg to differ.
Most African history were not written in books like the Europeans but in these works of arts. They were not just used to adorn the wall of the palaces but kept in our traditional library.
The Igbos nsibidi, Yoruba faye, Kemet hieroglyphic,The Benin Bronze were all form of writing depicting the history and chronology of our people.
pri3stess: I agree. I normally stay away from Nairaland because the comments under posts like this are normally so cringey. Sometimes I think Nigerians deserve their leaders. Very culturally lost set of people with inferiority complex.
martineverest: I noticed how overly stupid Nigerians are yesterday..... they were all over the internet congratulating royalty yesterday for their wedding but will always diss their traditional rulers....it's really sad that we are facing neo colonialism
It's MENTAL SLAVERY....back then our lands were colonized but now our minds are being colonized,And mental slavery is the worst of all slavery.
gregyboy: Am benin and i would say benin is leaving on past glory in the world ....just go to igun were all this art were made the leave in penury...
As for historical renovation is actually zero my friend the moat is almost closed up..the government has not done anything to bring it back or maintain it ...since the Benin walls were destroyed by the british it wasn't even built again ...the moat is been used as sewage and refuse dump in the entire city...a moat that was once recongnised in guiness book of record...if proper maintance was done on this moat if its well exibited to the world i bet everyone will want to come to the place that made the beautiful art to see its moat or walls ...it will create so much mobey for the state...nevertheless to do such work on this tourism it requires billions of money not the one ge is doing....
For the art to be returned i say no...keep it till will developed to have it back
If your property was stolen from your bungalow and sold to someone in a mansion,would you prefer it to remain in that big mansion?
gregyboy: A yoruba gal said that to me in uniben ....i was shocked that the yorubas know nothing of other region ..this is d way the three majour tribe see the rest nigeria
Ibos: see we as yorubas Yorubas: see us igbos Hausa: see us as both igbos and yoruba
So funny how it sound and we will call the whiteman fool when he says africa is a country Is that not hypocrisy
That's the fact my brother. One of my sister from the western part of Nigeria once told me we (she and her family members plus their village head) thought is only Yoruba,Hausa and Ibo we have in Nigeria....this is a graduate from Lagos State University.
musicwriter: Historians and Africans should stop using the above word that the British has put in our mouths through indoctrination a.k.a education. The so called punitive expeditions were ''stealing expeditions'' carried out all over the world in their greedy quest for world domination. The right word to use is stealing expedition or war of conquest.
How could it be a punitive expedition; when?
In 1887, the British dethroned king Jaja of Opobo and forced him to exile for refusing to allow British monopoly on commodity trade in his kingdom.
In 1861, the British threatened Oba of Lagos, Oba Dosunmu with war for refusing to sign a treaty surrendering Lagos to them as British protectorate. He later succumbed and gave up Lagos as a British protectorate.
In 1895, the British dethroned king Koko Mingi VIII of Nembe and sent him to exile for refusing to accept an exploitative contract term from the royal Niger company- a British colonial monopoly.
In 1735, a British delegation shot Oba Oresoyen in his palace for being stubborn and refusing to take instruction from Queen of England.
In 1897, the British dethroned Oba Ovonramwen of Bini kingdom and sent him to exile after unsuccessful attempts to lure him to surrender his kingdom to slavery. After he was exiled, the British called a meeting of the community, and in a triumphant tone, they said “you see, your King is gone!. From today, you have only one King and her name is Queen Victoria. Henceforth, she’s the only one you shall pay tributes to”.
In 1894, the British exiled king Nana of Itsekiri to Ghana and took over his oil palm factory and cocoa plantation.
In 1896, the British exiled king Prempeh I of Ashanti kingdom for refusing to offer them 50,000 ounces of gold at once, even as the king was begging them he can pay in installments starting with an initial 680 ounces down payment. The British took the 680 initial deposit from him and reneged from the agreement. Finally, the head of the British expedition ordered king Prempeh to vacate his seat and to sit on the floor. When king Prempeh sat on the floor, he sat on Prempeh's official seat and started verbally abusing the king, the Ashanti kingdom, and black people in general with all sorts of derogatory words. When he was done abusing the king, he asked the king to come forward to kiss his boots (his right and left foot) and the king did so. After humiliating the king in the presence of the whole village, he sent him to exile to Seychelles.
Note that king Prempeh did not owe Britain any gold as he didn’t have any business with them; rather, the British heard his official seat was made of real gold, they got jealous and wanted some of the gold. When Prempeh refused to give them gold, they threatened him to provide gold or have his kingdom invaded. The king under fear of exile signed he would provide the gold, but he didn’t have all of the gold at once.
In 1899, the British exiled king Mwanga II of Buganda a.k.a the Kabaka of Buganda to Seychelles. He was dethroned for refusing to convert to Christianity and also for refusing to sign a treaty with Lord Lugard granting Britain power over taxes in his kingdom and trade to the Imperial British East Africa Company.
In 1899, the British shot and wounded king Kabalega of Bunyoro in his palace for refusing to surrender his kingdom to colonialism. He was exiled to the Seychelles and the British installed a puppet king.
In 1883, the British pressured Oba Awujale Fidipote to exile in Epe, after threatening military invasion of his kingdom.
In 1896, the British sent Queen Yaa Asantewaa to exile to the Seychelles for refusing to submit to imperial rule. Queen Yaa Asantewa fought gallantly and was only defeated by a fortified British expeditionary force.
In 1891, the British dethroned and exiled king Waiyaki Wa Hinga. King Waiyaki had earlier made an agreement with the British to allow them settle peacefully in his land. As usual, the British reneged from the agreement few month later, and wanted everything in his kingdom including his seat. A fight ensued and they hit king Waiyaki with (simi) dagger on his head, and planned to take him to court for prosecution. On the way to the court they changed their mind and decided to bury him alive instead. Till today, nobody knows where they buried him.
In 1835, Britain captured and beheaded king Hintsa in South Africa. He was of the Xhosa tribe. The queen of England asked that his skull be brought to her palace in London, and it was done. Till today, nobody knows where they buried him or where his skull is.
The list of dethroned and exiled African kings is endless. There must have been over 2,500 of such cases as ancient Africa was ruled by kings. Every single African king had to be dethroned or exiled for his kingdom to be enslaved. The French, Germans, Spanish, Portuguese, also have their share of these crimes in Africa.
fortunechy: how can someone come from another country to ur own country n stolen something with out being caught n u believe...... the stuff was sold out PERIOD!!
When last did you take your drugs? Please take it before you view the images below.
godfatherx: Was it stolen or made a gift by the Oba of Benin? I'm sure the Oba in council are aware of the presence of those artifacts at the museum. Do some background check before crying wolf.
Modified. The post has been edited after I made my comment. When I read it, it was the facebook screenshot alone that was written. Evanstical Areafada2 grandstar
adorable29: If returned, hope the Bini people will preserve it as well as the British Museum. Besides, being at the museum helps sell the culture to the entire world as people from all over the world come to see it as compared to Benin Musuem where only very few little kids on excursion will manage to see it.
Just saying
The ones not stolen from other chiefs palaces are still there. Some are even 500yrs old.
doctokwus: Won't these wonderful art works be appreciated more abroad? I rather feel whatever negotiation should be about these bronze works being kept and exhibited abroad while an annual levy be paid to the original Benin kingdom owners. Very few in Nigeria can take out time to go view it in Benin or wherever else in Nigeria,asides many not appreciating their value.
Issafela: After activist Deji Adeyanju took to his twitter page to challenge hushpuppi to a debate at the EFCC office, Nigerian socialite "Hushpuppi" took to his Snapchat page to addresses the press, as he accepts Deji's challenge.
Hushpuppi gave deji some conditions before he can come down to Nigeria.
Some Of Them Are:
First class ticket to nigeria Five star hotel Maximum security Good meals E.t.c
There is absolutely nothing wrong staying at your mums for the meantime.
Recuperate,ginger your hustle and lay more bricks then save like its the only thing that matters.
As you are doing this bear her nagging and plead for more patience,when you have enough rent a room self contain or just a room then quickly do a small engagement / paying the dowry and move in with her.
With your hustle(hope not crime related) cum Mason and her fashion design you start planning for kids.
