Bobrisky is a risk to our societal norms. Full stop. If you are not happy about the judgement then go to court.

Nigeria government don't have anything against the Yoruba lady.
Is he the only person to have abusing Naira.



They are just punishing her for his way of Life because no law in Nigeria can be used to punish him for that.

Nothing much.

Nothing much.the last time I checked bobrisky had a preek.

Hopefully, everyone spraying Naira notes at parties will be arrested and prosecuted going forward. Leaving others while persecuting Bobrisky is unfair, callous, vindictive and against natural justice. Everyone should play by the same rule.
