The comedian took to his instagram page to air his annoyance at some journalist friends of his who told him the traditional/Urhobo attire he wore to the AMVCAs over the weekend was not right. What he posted below ...
"Trust you had a great weekend. I did. And had been looking forward to sharing something with you. So, I have also been looking for a clear picture of me that was taken at the #AMVCA ... The closest I could come upon is this courtesy @NET... But it's not about the picture itself. It was about someone who claims to be a Fashion Critic...... who made a comment that I thought I should harp on. She said, "Bros, didn't you get the invite? It said 'black tie' "... herself and a few of her fashion buffs had a laugh at my expense. So I let the laugh settle down and I asked, did you read the part that said "black tie or Glamorous?"
I then saw one of them quickly bring her card holder invite holder out, read the dress code portion and shoved it back in the case. The dumbest of the four, who is also on television, said something like, but this is not glamorous. So I pointed at Kunle Afolayan, who was decked in AGBADA. And she was sucked in to my trick. "Eheeeeen! That is glamorous." Her cronies agreed. So I dropped my joker. 'Really? So it's only the traditional attire from the YORUBA or Hausa speaking part of Nigeria that is glamorous? Is that what you were taught in school? Or is that the position of your media house? Or is that all your knowledge about fashion availed you? May be you are TRIBALISTIC. May be you think AFRICANS must look like a white man to be glamorous! May be you have no values! By the way, I thought this was an AFRICAN magic viewers' choice awards (notice the capital letters)? At this point, 2 of them started that line that signals they had gotten the message... "Bros you are correct, but you know we were just teasing you. HABA! Can't you take a joke?" My point was made and I walked off. The problem we have in this country is not totally our government's failures. It is also the failure of many of us to know what is important to us as AFRICANS and what we should value in our culture. ATTIRE for journalist WEY no recognize glamorous ATTIRE. As for any journalist that thinks dressing in my traditional outfit meant for special occasions is not glamorous, please check a dictionary and revert!#broadcasters #fashionPolice #AfricanCulture #UrhoboAttire #

Moye says so via BB Passport...Courtesy LIB....
I so with you on this one Sir. Some people don't have values, they follow the crowd and don't have any fashion creative ideas
Bros no mind them,dem no sabi book.
Urohbo wadoooo! I love my waffi attire die.
He looked amazing! Who is d mumu reporter?
How I wish the ladies will learn to wear our traditional attire to red carpet, it will an avenue to sell out our culture to the world. Proudly Igbo.
Linda I beg to disagree. Protocol duely observe and as d saying goes "when u go to Rome act as they do". So dressing differently when u r in Rome can b tagged as inapproriate.
Ali Baba is proudly and alwaz an Urhobo man we all knw but he should pls save dat traditional outfit for traditional engagements.
Dumb red carpet interviewers. Pls visit rellaidiovo.blogspot.com

Don't mind them...yeye dey smell
Bros eeeee...abeg no mind dem, na small pikin de worry most of them in the media industry. Remember a song by Bright Chimezie? Most Nigerians think it's a mark of sophistication to dress, eat, dance, and generally worship anything foreign (American). Try as much as they can, they will never beat the whites in their own fashion, so why don't we imbibe our own? Ali Baba, Kunle Afolayan, and the guy that played the role of "Mr. Makinde" in The Meeting, all stood out for me at that event, forget what every other person thinks about it. Bros AB, hope it wasn't Miss "Fish-bone" Edewor that made that comment...lol
Spot on Alibaba.
Stupid slaves, fooling in oyinbo man's culture calling it open eye, nonsense! Suits n tie thingz indeed, oyinbo man will even want to wear this traditional attire to this event bcos it is themed AFRICA just to impress us. Alibaba, u too much jare, migwo sir! UAP *Wink*.
LINDA GO AND WATCH MR AYEDEE, THE GUY DAT CLOSED UR BLOG.. HIS ON CHANNELS TV, RUBBING MINDS SUPPORTERS DEBATE!!
No that's how u reply ur critics....
Ali baba ti binu o.. u can't take d stupid jokes you dish out all the time.. abeg, go develop thick skin jare, u act like a woman... rubbish
Alibaba answer this one. cant you take a joke?
Please name the mumus who thought the dress was not glamorous.
Don't mind those fake accent Nigerians who have suddenly forgot the pronunciation of the own names just so they can feel among, absolutely nothing wrong with what you're wearing, a lot of them keep their noses in the air like they grew up with prince Williams, rubbish!!!
These bush yoruba media gals that have never been outside Lagos and think the world revolves around Lagos thingz...bros thanks for putting them in place!! this is why our Governt,nepotism and tribalism won't change..bush people!
Chop Knuckle bro. Leave dose yash wey dere mess dey smell. Urhobo 4 Life
Well sad bros..
Perfect reaction.
In this case it is a MUST for him to reply. Big mouthed scandal abi na Sandra.
Guys, Do you want a 'serious' relationship? Try
BV HookUps
What is 'inglamourous' about this dressing, some people like to make issues where there is none
Don't mind them. Love d attire and obi emelonye speech in ibo
ALIBABA...I have so much respect for you....ignore those FAKE 'so called fashion forward small girls'. They have no respect for Nigerian culture. Always dropping designer names proudly and having the nerve to look down at your regal traditional outfit. The FAKE ACCENT they speak with is what irritates me the most, a blend of British, Australian and God knows where else...always so desperate to be and sound foreign...
I don't see E' News anchors trying to sound African. We (Africans) are always so quick to sell our values and traditions.

We should be proud of our own.
We have completely discarded our culture and embraced the white man's culture, which is very unfortunate, cos most of our culture are getting lost everyday.
Alibaba,you're my brother for life
Well said joor. Some of these fashion critics sef no sabi fashion.
In trying to copy the late Joan Rivers and her fashion police team, these small Clueless and empty headed children fail to realize that the need to do a thorough research on their subjects . Fashion police or criticism go beyond just blabbing ,yak yak yak . It requires intelligence which the so called fashion critics did not display in this case
dats not the original urhobo attire sef. the original urhobo attire is shrt sleeve *alibabtakenote*
*singing *2hands in d air 4 yaaaaaa

What about the likes of Timi Dakolo that had an agbada on or the likes of Kunle Afolayan that also had an agbada on. Royal priesthood, dont be a racist. As long as he looked good in his outfit, Rome should remain in Rome. He stood out.
You can't get more glamorous than our Native Nigerian couture' it just rocks!
