Popular Nollywood actor and politician, Yul Edochie defended Big Brother Naija reality TV star, Mercy Eke after she was dubbed as “local” by a vlogger recently Oluwa-Tosin Silverdam.
The vlogger had called Mercy an “Mgbeke feeling funky” in a video where he mentioned 4 other BBNaija stars he doesn’t like.
In reaction to the Vlogger’s video, Yul Edochie stated that “our brains need to be formatted as white men have messed with them“. He further stated that Mercy is not local, but a Nigerian or a Biafran.
He tweeted;
White people messed up our brains making us see our own ways as local. C. Ronaldo speaks English with a Portuguese accent, have you called him local? Many brains need to be formatted in this country. We no be Oyibo. Mercy Eke is not local, she is simply Nigerian or Biafran.
