Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky, has taken a swipe at Nigerian politicians over their silence following the gruesome killing of about 200 people by suspected herdsmen in Yelwata, a community in Benue State.
The social media personality didn’t mince words as he took to his Instagram stories to express disgust over the lack of urgency from lawmakers concerning the tragedy.

According to Bobrisky, the same senators and House of Representatives members who swiftly summoned meetings last year over reports that he didn’t serve his jail sentence in a proper prison cell are now silent over the mass killings.
He wrote:
“Senator/house representative didn’t call urgent meeting over the killing happening in Benue… but they can call urgent meeting when it comes to Bobrisky. Shame!!!! Shame!!!! Shame!!!” What a shameful country.”

Bobrisky announces name change
TheTalk.NG earlier reported that Bobrisky stirred up buzz online, this time by announcing a major change to his identity.
In a post shared on his Instagram page, Bobrisky revealed that he has officially dropped his birth name, Idris, and now wants to be addressed as Folasade Amope Okuneye. He wrote: “My new name is Folasade Amope Okuneye.”
He added that while fans can still call him Bob or Folasade, the name Idris is now off-limits. This move adds another layer to Bobrisky’s journey of self-identification and public transformation—one that has kept him in the spotlight for years.
