Listening to public protests, @EUinNigeria has apparently dropped Bright Okpocha, aka, @basket_mouth, as 1 of their #SGBV influencers for the current #HerStoryOurStoryNG campaign – he has a history of making jokes abt rape which disparage victims. Good work, @NFF2008! pic.twitter.com/7W5uk3GQru

#BasketMouth missed an opportunity to turn this around. He could have seized this moment to apologize for his disgusting jokes, & teach comedians that rape is not a joke. He missed a chance to actually become an advocate against SGBV. Instead, He blocked me. ?#orangetheworld
