Reality TV star Venita Akpofure and the Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) show organisers were recently slammed with a suit by the Tiv nation over misguided comments shared on the popular show. The paramount ruler of the Tiv people, James Ortese Iorzua Ayatse and a former lawmaker, Gbe Benjamin Oruden, with the backing of their people, have dragged Venita and the organisers of the BBNaija show to court.
An official statement has been released calling on the show to tell Venita to retract her comment where she claimed that the Tiv people have a culture where their men offer their wives to visitors for bedroom pleasures.
Harmful narrative of the Tiv People.
A video of the Tor Tiv, the ruler of the tribe, noted that the harmful narrative had been allowed to spread for far too long, and they were bent on using Venita as a scapegoat to stop it.
