Nigerians on Twitter have berated popular television presenter, Uti Nwachukwu, over comments relating to convicted cannibal, Clifford Orji.
Reacting to the allegation of racism levelled against the Royal Family by Meghan Markle, wife of the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, the past winner of Big Brother Africa was critical of Harry for choosing his wife over his family.
Nwachukwu stated that love should never make anyone go against their families.
The ‘Jara’ co-presenter stated that if a villain like Clifford Orji, a convicted cannibal, was part of his family, he would never join anyone, especially a romantic partner, to condemn him.
Recall that Clifford Orji was the first documented Nigerian cannibal indicted in serial killings, kidnappings, and sale of human body parts.
He reportedly died in Nigeria’s only super-maximum penitentiary on August 12, 2012, after spending 13 years in jail.
Nwachukwu tweeted:
“Family first! Always! U see this love thing, if it makes you turn your back on your family, then hmmmm watch out!! Even if Clifford Orji was part of my family, I would neeeverr!! Join anyone (esp a romantic partner) to bring down and condemn my family..never!”
Reacting to his comment, a Twitter user @UnahChigozie disagreed with him saying justice should be sacrificed for family loyalty.
“You did sacrifice your significant other at the alter of family LOYALTY just to keep CLIFFORD ORJI, no na this is bad na. Able killed Cain: they were family. Joseph was sold into slavery by the brothers, CLIFFORD ORJI would or probably must have used a family member for ritual.”
Another Twitterati @jbeautyfull said, “Uti this WRONG narrative u are driving is all levels appalling. How did HARRY betray his family? Is that u didn’t watch the interview well? U applaud Megan then blast the one who chose to protect her then u say FAMILY in that same phrase? Did the “family” act right? Jeez.”
@HonestBeing10 also commented, “This Clifford Orji example really exposed who Uti is. He is the type whose family will kill and bury person in their family compound and he will support it till the end. Shows he will support wickedness and evil for the sake of family and will not speak out against it.”
