New Zealander-Nigerian mixed martial artist Israel Adesanya made a controversial statement that has ignited discussion both on social media and within the Nigerian community.
Adesanya claimed that the majority of women in Lagos are "runs girls," a local term for call girls, suggesting that their lavish lifestyles are funded through prostitution.
Speaking in a mixture of English and Yoruba, Adesanya criticized the behavior of these women, urging them to be nicer and friendlier instead of flaunting their wealth. "Lagos women love showing off.
Most of you are runs girls, kobo kobo, ashewo. You keep posing and showing off. Nonsense. Just be nice, be friendly, say hi," he said.
The former UFC welterweight champion's remarks have sparked a heated debate about gender, morality, and lifestyle choices in Lagos, reflecting broader cultural tensions.
The video was shared via his X handle, further amplifying the reach and impact of his statements.
