Morayo Afolabi-Brown Addresses Critics Of Her Interview With Ireti Doyle 

Popular Nigerian media personality Morayo Afolabi-Brown, has finally cleared the air on her questions to veteran actress Ireti Doyle during her recent appearance on her show.

The Nigerian Voice reported that in a recent episode of the Morayo Afolabi-Brown show, the media personality had quizzed Ireti Doyle on the reason she didn't disclose any information about her divorce to her ex-husband, Patrick Doyle.

In response, Ireti Doyle maintained that her marital issues do not concern the public, emphasizing that she is not ready to be used as clickbait.

The interview which has since caused backlash on the host, led Morayo to issue a clarification. According to her, Nigerians are always "battle-ready."

She disclosed that Ireti Doyle was already aware of the questions a day before the interview, clarifying that her show is not focused on any other thing than bringing the best in people.

Urging Nigerians to take it easy, she admitted that everyone is going through the same hardship.

She wrote: "Nigerians! You people are always battle-ready. My guest got her questions a day before her interview. I wasn’t trying to spring a fast one on her. My show brings out the best in people, not otherwise. We are so used to being bashed on TV that we believe every TV presenter is trying to set a trap.

It’s all joy here. My name means, “I’ve found Joy”. I created a TV show that brings joy, laughter, and smiles to my audience. Every show on Nigerian TV is either debating, bashing, accusing, demanding, attacking and the like. It seemed insãne that I couldn’t turn on my TV and smile. So I completely understand that our people are battle-ready and trust nothing. That trait is from our bad leaders over the years. We’ve grown almost immune to Joy and happiness. We get a dose of that on Sunday at church, and by Monday, we are back to our grumpy selves. Kindly take it easy, oo. We are all in this terrible HEAT together."
