Radio Talk Show host condemns rape jokes & the women who laugh at them

Apparently, comedian Akpororo made a distasteful joke on stage at the AY Live Show last night about a lady being raped, and some women laughed at it. Turns out it made some people really uncomfortable. This OAP with Nigerian Info FM had something to say about it. More after the cut...

Making a rape joke doesn't even make sense, people have been raped and they know what they went through, this can make the person recall what happened and start feeling bad again, it should be stopped.

Unknown said...

They are all stupid... How do you joke wit something like that even? Nay not nice

We dance to rape songs ,talk more of rape jokes.Our mindset needs a real change not transformation.

Madam it's just a joke! According to them!! By the way they are comedian and you should expect anything from them and be comfortable with them! There is nofin you can do to it! Joke na joke expect you talking from experience! Take it or you leave it!

Unknown said...

IT'S HIGH TIME. I THINK IT'S QUITE DISTASTEFUL TOO.
BUT TRUST THE CULPRIT COMEDIANS TO TAKE IT WITH A PINCH OF SALT AS IT ALWAYS IS IN NIGERIA.
I SUPPORT A KANYE MOVE ON THEM.

Hmmmmm

Is just to make people laugh and nothing else. AY and other comedians are just doing what they know how to do. To make people laugh, laugh and laugh.

She should take a chill pill. If. No one likes the joke, then don't laugh. Comedians crack expensive jokes sometimes though, but what can we do? It's their job of getting an income.

Unknown said...

She's actually right.

Unknown said...

Not everything you joke with.........dont joke abt rape...cos its nt funny

Some of these comedians spit out anytin dat comes to mind without restrain. Some sensitive issues should not be made jest of.

This is my first time ever of dropping a comment. I am really concerned about how women pat rapist on d back. Such a comedian should be chased off stage by everyone, men and women alike. Girls who get raped have brothers and fathers. We should jointly condemn wrong doing. Did AY (who i think is an ambassador for peace or did he not get it) have any apologies to render on behalf of his guest. Rape is a horrible crime. Anyone who makes light of it is a likely rapist. I remember Dare begging pardon on international TV for improper comment. We shd demand this from idiots like the comedian.

Somethings re too sensitive to be used as jokes...akpororo is always fond of dis kind of jokes..and I find it rather distasteful ..

Rape should not be a topic for joke,people laughing at it should pray they don't encounter it.. Rubbish

I totally agree with Fola Folayan, rape should never be used as a joke in any form.

Bako said...

Rape should be something to be condemned and not to joke about it. Well this is part of our attitude. we take many things for granted even the serious ones.

Beauty Fables said...

I think it isn't something to laugh about too

Unknown said...

A rape incidence should never pass as a joke, it is terror enough n can cause a psychological trauma to victims. U can't possibly make light a rape experience n for the women who laughed u might as well laugh at being burnt alive, that's how bad it can be.

Unknown said...

LOL can't to hear what Akpororo would say

Unknown said...

The struggles rape victims face are difficult and real and should never be made fun of.
Their struggles are not a joke.

tompish said...

well said ma...errtn shouldn't be made a joke...and I seriously pray there should be a kanye when next sm1 cracks an unfunny joke

Yaya said...

That same radio station that would play Story for the gods would expect us not to laugh at rape jokes. Nonsense. If we're not condoning it lets go all the way please.

Personally i dont like joking about rape..but it was meant to be a joke so i dnt see why people should not laugh. If so, there should ban comedy cos comedians joke about everytin includin stealing, lyin, and all what not. D last time i checked all these things were bad.

Ewu Congo. Maybe you would also be happy if he joked about your siblings being raped by 100 men. Tomorrow, you will claim to be civilized. Anuofia. Idiot

Why so serious? Gay people, poor people, Tribes, stupid people, albino, almost everything has being made fun of, if we keep complaining about everything, what would we laugh about? As long as the jokes do not encourage it, people should just shut up, eat their popcorns or whatever and enjoy the bloody joke. Kai!!!!

Agreed..Not funny honestly.

Do you have a metric for measuring the level of encouragement? Get your head out of your ass.

My dear, i was there.. there were so many topics... even stuffs in the catholic church was been joked about yet nobody came here to say sh"""t... gays , even politics... or should catholics or politicians go kill themselves because they joked about them... Lets be honest!.. we all went there to laugh!... and not take thing seriously!.. if anyone has insecurities then maybe you should avoid comedy show.. lets not act more pious than the pope here abeg!... that akpororo's rape joke made everfyone laugh, so they enjoyed their ticket fees! shikena...

I don't even understand why some comedians will make a sick joke out of something as sensitive as rape all in d bid to make money. If they were victims, would they say "its just a joke"?

Unknown said...

Very wrong

I was at AYLive and it wasn't a rape joke. It was more an adult joke about armed robbery and the robbers asking 2 passengers who were digging themselves on a bus to sleep with each other. I am a woman and i laughed because it was damn hilarious.

Dear activists, please fight actual rape cases and not a joke that didn't even preach rape. A JOKE is a JOKE, so please lighten up.

I don't think u r a lady? But if u r then shame on u n u will be rape soon n u will see how it feels for ppleto joke aabout such a gory incidence. Fool take it or leave it

So cos they earn a living from it, they should just open their mouth and say things that hurt to the soul like rape!!! Do u even know wt it means to be raped? Put yourself in d shoes of those who have experienced this, or are u saying if they don't want to hear it they should go for comedy shows? Afterall no be u rape them abi? Some women are just bitches who encourage d male folk to treat women like trash!!!

That stupid story for the gods song! BON will not ban that one o nooooo, since it isn't insulting them. Olumide should feel bad for releasing such a song, he's no longer a gutter boy, he's growing to become an internationally acclaimed musician, he should know better, shame on him, rapist!!!

Wait till you are raped. Then maybe you'll understand say no be all jokes be joke

I wonder why Nigerians are so shallow minded. Have the comedians not cracked worse jokes than that. Why didn't you complain. So it's now time to screen what sort of jokes they Crack. That's why they say it's a joke! In america comedians Crack nigga jokes and they all laugh about it. They don't go about saying they enslaved them in this past

@Olamide Ashafa joke na joke abi?
I pray it wont happen to u u ll know joke no be joke u dnt v to be so insensitive u know I am not a rape victim and i dnt pray to be but have read about many and many have lost dia dignity even lives u now talk its no big deal even d comedian apologised so who are u to say na joke theres no big deal abt it and nothing they can do abt it. Maybe u ll need to fall victim before u know what it means silly girl.
