Crossdresser and social media personality Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky, has weighed in on Nigeria's latest fuel price hike, describing the country as a "zoo" and encouraging citizens to consider relocating abroad.
In a post that surfaced online on Tuesday, September 15, Bobrisky expressed disbelief that petrol is now selling for as high as N1,600 per litre in some parts of the country. He argued that, despite Nigeria being a resource-rich nation, poor management of those resources continues to leave citizens in hardship.

The controversy follows Dangote Refinery's increase in its petrol gantry price from N1,265 to N1,350 per litre on September 12, a move that has added to growing frustration among Nigerians already stretched by the cost of living.
Bobrisky, who says he has been living abroad for two years, claimed that fuel scarcity and sudden price jumps are simply not part of everyday life outside Nigeria.
In his words:
"Give me one reason why fuel is N1,600 per litre. We don't even buy fuel for N1,600 per litre here abroad. If you do your mathematics properly, you'll realize that Nigeria is a country God has blessed with everything we need."
"In my two years of living abroad, I have never experienced fuel scarcity or ridiculous fuel price increases overnight."
"To my Nigerians, it's time you start looking for ways to survive and find a better life outside that zoo called Nigeria."

Bobrisky criticised Nigerians attacking KC Luxury
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Bobrisky criticised Nigerians who began attacking socialite KC Luxury only after his arrest by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), accusing them of hypocrisy and double standards.
According to Bobrisky, some people who previously praised and supported KC Luxury suddenly became vocal critics after his arrest over an alleged international drug network, following the NDLEA’s seizure of 184.5kg of hard drugs worth about $27.7 million, or approximately ₦39 billion, from a Lagos courier firm.
He also questioned the loyalty of KC Luxury’s close associates, who appeared to distance themselves from him following the arrest.
