Okey Bakasi Calls Out Men, Blames Them For Causing The Entitlement Mentality of Nigerian Ladies
In a recent podcast at The Honest Bunch, Nigerian comedian Okey Bakasi dished the contents of the pot by addressing a hot-button issue: the perceived entitlement mentality among Nigerian women. His bold assertion? Men are largely to blame for this mindset.
Bakasi argues that men’s behavior has conditioned women to believe that their beauty grants them privileges and special treatment.
He points out a common scenario: a strikingly beautiful woman walks under the sun, and what do men do? Instead of offering genuine help, they will say, “Oya enter the motor, why fine girl like you go dea waka under the sun,” as if their mere presence is the best thing that’s happened on planet Earth.
This kind of behavior, he explains, creates an environment where women feel entitled to special treatment simply for being attractive. Bakasi’s commentary dives deep into societal norms, highlighting how Nigerian men often play the role of “simps,” bending over backward to please women based solely on their looks.
He emphasizes that this anomaly fosters an unrealistic expectation among women that they can get anything they desire without effort—just because they are pretty. As a result, when men complain about women’s entitlement, Bakasi urges them to reflect on their actions that have contributed to this mentality.
The comedian’s insights challenge listeners to rethink their roles in perpetuating these gender dynamics. He questions why men would complain about women’s entitlement when they are the ones who have set these standards.
This discussion is not just about blame; it’s about accountability and understanding how societal behaviors shape perceptions and expectations.
