The controversial Yoruba actress Nkechi Blessing made headlines online after giving out dildos as gifts at a gathering in Lagos on Saturday.
The event was a memorial service on her mother’s passing anniversary.
In September 2021, a few days before her birthday, the actress lost her mother.
Over the weekend, videos of the incident went viral and received a range of responses.
The well-known actress said sex toy advertising provides her and her family with revenue in response to critiques.
However, she is receiving verbal abuse because many people questioned the morality of her “advertisement.”
According to a review of her Instagram page, the actress has been promoting dildos for the past two years.
The actress declined to respond when reached by PREMIUM TIMES, claiming that she doesn’t pay attention to the opinions of others.
She also made fun of her critics, claiming that despite their criticism of her on social media, they had asked her for the dildos on WhatsApp.
A short while later, the actress wrote on her WhatsApp status that critics are irrelevant.
“I am not saying men are trash because I have a man, but you need to have one (dildos) for yourself in case you don’t have a man,” the actress was heard saying in a brief video taken during the event.
