Benue lawmaker threatens N10 billion lawsuit against Venita Akpofure for defaming TIV tribe
A Nigerian lawmaker, Hon. Dickson Tarkighir, has threatened to file a N10 billion lawsuit against BBNaija star Venita Akpofure and the show organizers for defaming the TIV tribe.
The 36-year-old actress had claimed that Tiv men give their wives to visitors for ‘entertainment purposes,’
implying that they allow their wives to sleep with their guests for entertainment.
This statement did not sit well with many TIV people,
and they trooped to social media to criticize her and called for legal action against her.
In response, Hon. Dickson threatened to take legal action against Venita for her statement and
BBNaija organizers for not disqualifying or reprimanding her for defaming their tribe.
The Lagos Chapter of the Mutual Union of Tiv Tribe has also issued an official statement,
demanding an apology from Venita for her false claim.
What does this mean?
This lawsuit could have a significant impact on the TIV tribe and on reality TV shows like BBNaija.
If Venita is found guilty of defamation,
it could set a precedent for other people who make false claims about ethnic groups.
It could also lead to stricter regulations for reality TV shows,
which could make it more difficult for them to promote harmful stereotypes.
If you are concerned about the defamatory claims made against the TIV tribe, you can do a few things:
Educate yourself and others about the TIV tribe and their culture.
Share positive stories about the TIV tribe on social media.
Support TIV-owned businesses and organizations.
Call out and challenge harmful stereotypes about the TIV tribe.
We can all work together to create a more inclusive and respectful society.
