Does comedian and broadcaster Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, popularly known as Nedu Wazobia, truly hate women?
Is he a victim of the marital crisis he had not long ago and his radical views on man-woman matter?
Whatever the true answer is the fact is that he has paid a huge price for ‘hating women.
On ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast, he recalled how a corporate organistion denied him an endorsement deal over the matter.
According to him, he was at the verge of being an ambassador for the beverage company when they gave him a red card probably without any initial yellow.
He claimed that the company informed him that their female audience would not approve of him serving as their brand ambassador if people had that opinion of him.
The comic act, however, noted that he does not feel bad that the deal did not go through anymore, rather he was more concerned with the false narrative.
Nedu went on to lash out at what he described as the double standard of those who accused him of liking women too much in his skits but turned around to say he spread hate against women in his podcast.
He said:
“I almost signed an endorsement three weeks ago and I lost it. I’m not feeling bad. I didn’t feel bad for a second but I lost it.
“Why did I lose it? Because a lot of people were flying with the narrative, ‘Nedu hates women.’ And it’s a beverage brand.
“The brand said, ‘If this is what people are saying, it means it is not going to go well with our female audience.”
Nedu had separated from his first wife, Uzoamaka Ohiri, following some matrimonial issues.
