Nobody Can Stop Me; Bobrisky Vows To Spray Money Again
Bobrisky, the controversial crossdresser, has opened up on her experience at the Kirikiri correctional centre.
Born Idris Okuneye, Bobrisky was sentenced to six months in prison on April 12 for abusing the naira. She was released from jail on August 5.
The 33-year-old Instagram celebrity, in an interview on the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ podcast, said the prison sentence was “like a vacation to me”.
Bobrisky also argued that “she is not an ex-convict” despite her recent prison sentence.
The self-proclaimed ‘Mummy of Lagos’, who had earlier advised Nigerians to avoid spraying the naira at parties if they don’t want to be “landlords inside Kirikiri,” however, vowed to spray money in the future — but this time, “in dollars, not naira”.
“Who is an ex-convict? You brought me to come and embarrass me or what? I am not an ex-convict because I cannot be convicted for spraying money. So I am not an ex-convict. I will not accept that. But if you say ex-man, I can say yes. Because I was once a man way back I cannot even remember. I am still going to spray money but I will not spray the naira. I will spray dollars,” she said.
“You said it is an excursion. To me, I see it as a vacation. Vacation to go and rest. I have been working so hard. So their decision was okay for me. They decided to break me but sadly nothing happened to mummy of Lagos. These people wanted to break me. Everything happened to me like a movie. Spraying of money? It is my money. I did not owe anybody money. I did not steal. I did not kidnap. And I was sentenced to where we have kidnappers, robbers.”
When asked what it would take to hurt her alter ego “Idris,” Bobrisky replied with a smile, “A billion dollars”.
“It is not too much because nobody is paying my bills. Nobody is helping me pay my family bills. So, if I am making money the way I choose to make it without hurting anybody, I am fine,” she added.
“Nobody put me in any VIP.”
‘WHY I PLEADED GUILTY IN COURT’
“If I had told the judge I was not guilty, she would give me bail and I would go to my house. I told the judge I was guilty because I was the one showing on the video. I believed that when I told the judge the truth whether my lord was a man or a woman I did not care, it now depends on my lord to decide whether I would be given the option of fine, community service or anything. But my lord chose to sentence Bobrisky to prison,” she said.
‘I WAS LOCKED IN THE MALE CORRECTIONAL CENTRE’
In April, the Lagos command of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) denied rumours that Bobrisky was kept in “a one-bedroom flat”.
Addressing her detention, she said, “I was at the male correctional centre and I loved it. If they had given me the female correctional centre I would not have fun. I would not enjoy myself”.
“While I was at the male correctional centre, I was the only different person there. So people were nice to me. They were showing me care. They were giving me stuff. If I had stayed in the female who would have shown me care, buy me food? Who would have bought me food?
“But I was in the female EFCC custody. Because there were four people in the room. Like four to five guys in a room and obviously, this is a baddie with boobs, a nice shape. So, they would not eat to put me among those guys.”
