The Honest Bunch Podcast has reacted to the allegations levelled by Mr Nigeria, Ugo Nwokolo who claimed that he was manipulated and told what to say when he appeared on the show.
Nwokolo had claimed that he was coerced into making certain comments, including his infamous “I like poor girls” remark.
However, the podcast has vehemently denied these claims, stating that Nwokolo was a paid guest who had full control over the topics he discussed. The podcast revealed that Nwokolo had even arrived with a notepad outlining his points, contradicting his claims of manipulation.
The Honest Bunch Podcast expressed shock and disappointment at Nwokolo’s allegations, questioning his integrity and dignity.
The podcast also criticized Nwokolo’s willingness to spread falsehoods for fame, particularly given his recent crowning as Mr. World Nigeria.
The statement concluded by reaffirming the podcast’s commitment to transparency and open discussion, while also calling on the relevant institutions to investigate Nwokolo’s character.
The statement reads;
“We have become aware of recent claims made by Ugo Nwokolo regarding his appearance on The Honest Bunch Podcast. For the sake of clarity, we would like to set the record straight.
Mr. Ugo Nwokolo appeared on our platform for a paid appearance, during which he had the freedom to select a topic of his choice-which he did. At no point did we suggest a specific topic to him, nor was he instructed on what to say, either as a team or individually. Furthermore, he was never pressured to discuss any particular issue. He arrived with a notepad outlining his points.
We are truly shocked that someone who lacks integrity and dignity-willing to spread falsehoods for fame-has been crowned by the prestigious Mr. World Nigeria (@Mrworldnigeria). It is concerning to think that this individual is now set to represent us on the global stage.
We remain steadfast in our commitment to transparency and value the diversity of opinions expressed on our platform, regardless of our personal views.
We kindly ask that the institution and the Silverbird Group look into the character of this man.”
