Woli Agba tackles skit makers who ‘sexualise’ women

Woli Agba, the Nigerian comedian, has expressed his concern about the surge in unethical content being produced by skit makers.

On his Instagram page, Woli Agba shared a skit showing a man and woman engaging in intimate gestures.

The comedian lamented the newfound audacity of some skit makers to exploit sensitive areas of women’s bodies under the guise of content creation.

He also emphasised the need for online comedians to adopt better strategies to pass across their content without sexualising women

“Just had to pick this out of the ones I have been seeing lately. We are people of Culture and Tradition,” he wrote.

“Why the sudden boldness to put full hands-on women’s bom/butt all in the name of content creation?

“There are several ways to pass the same message without needing to touch the sensitive areas. Which message are you passing when you have increased viewers’ desire for the immoral? The message is for who?

“Or you are just out to enjoy yourselves before the camera? Is this funny? How can u even call this comedy? If you want to be known, please be known for something worth everyone’s applause.

“I am beginning to see the level of disrespect for women’s body increase on social media all in the name of content creation! Who are you creating the content for?

“I cannot count the number of times I have had to switch from IG to Bible each time my son was watching with me, and we stumbled on some videos that are immoral in content.

“Kilode? Kiloshele? Wetin’ happen now? This generation! Sleep, wake up and flex! That is all! No values… Nobody is learning handwork anymore.”

Last year, Officer Woos, another comedian, said skit makers tend to sexualise women in their videos because it generates massive views.

On his part, Oluwadolarz said some storylines would require skit makers to sexualise women.

He, however, stated that he is not in support of the sexualisation of women in skits.
