BNXN Slams Lagos Boat Ride Industry for Exploitation and Safety Issues
In the latest episode of Backstage Banter, hosted by Isi Ijewere in Canada, singer BNXN discussed the high costs and poor safety standards of boat rides in Lagos. When asked about the cost of a boat ride from Lekki to Ilase, he highlighted the exploitation within the industry, noting that companies charge exorbitant fees for boats that can’t safely accommodate the advertised number of passengers. He expressed frustration over the lack of life jackets on some boats used by those who pay much less.
BNXN also discussed the disparity in safety standards, pointing out that while some people pay high fees for boat rides, others risk their lives on cheaper, unsafe boats without life jackets. He emphasized that the exploitation and lack of proper safety measures are major issues in Lagos’ boat ride industry.
When asked about Burna Boy’s influence on his craft, BNXN praised Burna Boy’s unique personality and talent. He recalled discovering Burna Boy in 2013/14 and being impressed by his forward-thinking music. BNXN highlighted that the public’s perception of Burna Boy differs from the warm and approachable character he displays in private, solidifying his status as a legendary and talented artist.
Nigerian influencer Geh Geh has spoken about relationships and the current dating standard when it comes to finances.
He shared some of his personal thoughts, stating that if a woman is struggling financially and enters a relationship, she might depend on her partner for survival rather than love.
“You no be her boyfriend, bro. Na source of income you be. Person wey be say each time she needs something she go fit call to pay for those things wey she want. Na employer and employee na wetin una two dey do. Do you know the danger of paying for love? You go pay pay pay pay you no go pay finish…”
TikTok influencers and couple Jarvis and Peller have spoken about their relationship and shared how committed they are to each other.
During a recent interview, Peller was asked if he had ever cheated on Jarvis. He replied no, before speaking more about their commitment.
“If you cheat, you die. It’s the rule of the relationship. Things will not go well for the person. Because we are in a commitment. The fact that we pray together. God is involved. And you now go and cheat. Will God sit down and be looking at you? I will swear for you.”
Jarvis then added that they have placed “curses” on each other if either of them cheats.
