Yul Edochie criticises Rufai Oseni of Arise TV, saying, “You’re very disrespectful” [VIDEO]

Dialogue-based Actor Yul Edochie of Nollywood has taken aim at Rufai Oseni, the host of Arise TV, over his recent behaviour with guests.

Rufai and Jesutega Onokpasa, a prominent member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), got into a heated argument on Monday during a TV station programme.

When it came to President Bola Tinubu’s elimination of fuel subsidies and Nigeria’s overall economic predicament, Oseni, who was interviewing Onokpasa for the show, disagreed with the guest.

Nigerians, particularly those who favour the current administration, reacted to the drama between the two men by accusing Oseni of partiality.

Edochie responded to the news by calling Oseni a very rude guy and urging him to stop talking in a video posted on his Instagram account.

Additionally, he claimed that the anchor lacked the moral groundwork to converse with people of integrity after being found driving on a BRT route in Lagos.

“My friend, shut up and sit down,” Edochie remarked. You and I are speaking! When those of integrity are speaking, you have no right and no moral basis for speaking! You are a really rude person who has no regard for the laws of this nation, and you are speaking gibberish on national television! In fact, Nigerians will be wiped out if someone like you is elected president. Are you not the same person that was observed operating a vehicle in a BRT lane? If it weren’t for someone having a video, you wouldn’t even be able to apologise. That’s why you had to appear on national television to do so. You do this by imagining the other ones that we haven’t yet seen. Who gave you journalism training? Respecting your guests is the first lesson they ought to have taught you.

“Nobody out there is better than you. You ought to go study journalism, as you are a really disrespectful person and you are making fun of people on national television.

“The same Rufai Oseni who is abusing people, behaving like God on national television, and making your visitors feel uncomfortable—you act as though you are from Nigeria, and you are more concerned than any of us—please stop talking! My buddy You’re not better than any Nigerian, so there’s no moral reason for you to speak to people on TV in that manner.
