Reverend Ayintete's statements on gender
In a tweet that quickly went viral, Reverend Ayintete expressed his views on Bobrisky’s gender identity, challenging the self-identified crossdresser's public persona. Ayintete tweeted:
"Facts only! There is no BOBRISKY GENDER!"He went on to declare,
"There are only two genders, any other gender is an agenda."Ayintete's remarks align with a widely held belief in Nigeria, where traditional values often conflict with modern discussions about gender fluidity and identity.
The tweet has sparked a wave of online discussions, with many weighing in on the pastor’s views, which reflect a growing societal divide on this sensitive issue.
Allegations against Bobrisky: ₦15 Million bribery claims
The timing of Ayintete’s comments coincides with the House of Representatives’ investigation into allegations of corruption involving Bobrisky, the EFCC, and the NCoS.
Earlier in the year, Martins Otse, a blogger known as VeryDarkMan, claimed in a viral video that Bobrisky had paid ₦15 million to have money laundering charges dropped by the EFCC.
The charges reportedly stemmed from an incident in April when Bobrisky was caught on camera spraying cash lavishly, leading to his arrest and a six-month imprisonment sentence.
Otse further alleged that Bobrisky paid additional sums to secure a more comfortable stay in prison, accusations that Bobrisky has denied.
In response to the viral claims, the EFCC and the Nigerian Correctional Service have both launched investigations into the matter.
While Reverend Ayintete’s tweet appears to be a direct attack on Bobrisky, it has reignited broader societal conversations on gender identity in Nigeria.
