The Honest Bunch podcast team has dismissed allegations by Mr. Nigeria, Ugo Nwokolo, that co-host Nedu Wazobia influenced him to say he is “into poor girls” during a recent episode.
The controversy began weeks ago when Nwokolo, a model and Mr. World Nigeria titleholder, made the statement on the podcast, sparking widespread debate.
However, Nwokolo later claimed on social media that Nedu Wazobia had manipulated him into making the remark, alleging he was pressured to say he prefers “broke girls.”
In a statement, The Honest Bunch team denied the allegations, clarifying that Nwokolo was neither coerced nor directed to discuss any specific topic.
They emphasized that he came to the podcast with his own prepared notes and chose the subject matter himself.
The podcast team expressed disappointment in Nwokolo’s allegations, questioning his integrity and raising concerns about his role as a representative of Nigeria on the global stage.
The Honest Bunch reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and fostering diverse opinions on its platform.
They also called on the Silverbird Group, organizers of the Mr. World Nigeria pageant, to look into Nwokolo’s character.
As the debate continues, opinions remain divided over the validity of Nwokolo’s claims and the podcast’s response, sparking broader discussions about accountability and the influence of media.
“We have become aware of recent claims made by Ugo Nwokolo regarding his
appearance on The Honest Bunch Podcast. Forthe sake of clarity, we would Clke to set
the record straight.Mr. Ugo Nwokolo appeared on our platform for a paid appearance, during which he had the freedom to select a topic of his choice—which he did. At no point did we suggest a specific topic to him, nor was he instructed on what to say, either as a team or individually.
Furthermore, he was never pressured to discuss any particular issue. He arrived with a notepad outlining his points. We are truly shocked that someone who lacks integrity and dignity—vvilling to spread falsehoods for fame—has been crowned by the prestigious Mr. World Nigeria is concerning to think that this individual is now set to represent us on the global stage.
We remain steadfast in Our commitment to transparency and value the diversity Of
opinions expressed on our platform, regardless of our personal views.
We kindly ask that the institution and the Silverbird Group 100k into the character of this man”
