BBNaija Stars: Venita Apologises to Tiv People, “My Daughters Are From the Tribe”

Reality show star Venita Akpofure has had a rethink about some of her utterances while on the just-concluded BBNaija All Stars show. The mother of two had stated that Tiv men have a culture of offering their wives to strangers for bedroom pleasure.
The reality show star has revealed that her two daughters are Tiv. She admitted that her words were said carelessly but noted her remarks were also twisted.
She added that she can never go against her daughters’ tribe.
In her words: “There is one thing I feel got twisted. This is the statement about the Tiv people. My daughters are Tiv. There is no way I will make a slanderous statement about their people. “In my season, we did a play based on the Tiv, and I participated in it. It was super exciting for me. Sometimes, you say some things carelessly, and it gets misconstrued. For those that I offended, I am sorry.”
Fans of the reality star have applauded her for admitting she was wrong and trying to amend her mistake.

Here are some of the reactions:
