You People Are Always Battle-Ready – Morayo Brown Tackles Nigerians Following Criticisms Over Her Interview With Ireti Doyle

Nigerian media personality Morayo Afolabi has responded to the backlash she received after her interview with actress Ireti Doyle.

Earlier, Tori News reported that in an interview with Ireti, Morayo asked her why she didn’t drag her ex-husband and was quiet about her divorce.

Ireti responded, noting how it wasn’t anyone’s business to know what was going on.

She noted that social media users don’t care about people and that no one wins on the internet. She said she wouldn’t give herself up as clickbait or perform for them.

Many slammed Morayo over the question, believing it was an attack on the actress.

Explaining herself, Morayo said Nigerians are always battle-ready. She revealed that Ireti got her questions a day before her interview, and she wasn’t trying to fast one on her.

Morayo said her show brings out the best in people, not otherwise, and it’s all joy for her.

She wrote: “Nigerians!

"You people are always battle-ready.

"My guest got her questions a day before her interview. I wasn’t trying to spring a fast one on her. My show brings out the best in people, not otherwise. We are so used to being bashed on TV that we believe every TV presenter is trying to set a trap.

"It’s all joy here.

"My name means, “I’ve found Joy”. I created a TV show that brings joy, laughter, and smiles to my audience. Every show on Nigerian TV is either debating, bashing, accusing, demanding, attacking and the like. It seemed insãne that I couldn’t turn on my TV and smile.

"So I completely understand that our people are battle-ready and trust nothing. That trait is from our bad leaders over the years. We’ve grown almost immune to Joy and happiness. We get a dose of that on Sunday at church, and by Monday, we are back to our grumpy selves.

"Kindly take it easy, oo. We are all in this terrible HEAT together”.
