Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has lashed out at Arise TV presenter, Rufai Oseni, over his recent attitude towards Arise TV guests.
On Monday, Rufai and Jesutega Onokpasa, a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, clashed during a show at the TV station.
Oseni, who was interviewing Onokpasa during the show, disagreed with the guest’s view regarding the fuel subsidy removal by President Bola Tinubu and the general economic situation of Nigeria.
The drama between both men triggered reactions from Nigerians, especially supporters of the present administration, who accused Oseni of being biased.
Reacting to the development, Edochie, in a video shared via his Instagram account, urged Oseni to shut up, describing him as a very disrespectful person.
He also said the anchor, who was caught driving on a BRT lane in Lagos, lacks the moral justification to talk with people of integrity.
Edochie said: “My friend shut up and sit down! I’m talking to you! You have no right, you don’t have any moral justification to talk where people with integrity are talking! You are talking nonsense on national TV, you are a very disrespectful person, you have no respect for the laws of this country! In fact if someone like you becomes president, you will wipe out Nigerians. Are you not the same person that was caught driving on BRT lane? You could not even apologise, if not because somebody had a video, that was when you came on national TV to apologise. This is what you do, imagine the other ones that we’ve not seen before. Who taught you journalism? The first thing they should have taught you is to respect your guests.
“You are not better than anybody out there. You are a very disrespectful person and you should go and learn journalism, you are insulting people on national TV.
“Same Rufai Oseni that is insulting people on National TV all in the name of doing journalism. My friend shut up and sit down’. Shut up and sit down, I am talking to you. You don’t have no right, any moral justification to talk where men, people with integrity are talking. You are talking nonsense on national TV.
“You are a very disrespectful person, you have no respect for the laws of this country. If somebody like you becomes president, you will wipe out Nigerians.’
‘’Are you not the same person that was caught driving on the BRT lane? You could not even apologize, if not because a video was made. It was when you saw the video that was when you came on national TV to apologize. If there was no video, what would have happened? This is what you do. Imagine the other ones we have not seen before.
“Who taught you journalism? The first thing they should have taught you is to respect your guests. If you have a guest and you are talking in a particular manner and the guest does not like it, the first thing you do is to apologize to that guest, make the guest feel comfortable and then continue with your question. How can you tell a guest that if the guest is not comfortable, your guest is free to walk out of the studio? and you call yourself a journalist? Who taught you journalism? Rufai I am talking to you!”
“You are not better than anybody out there, you are a very disrespectful person.”
