This Showmax show I Want A Naija Boy is a huge disrespect for SA women

Instead of empowering & educating South African Black women Showmax pulling stupid stunts & coming up with shows like ‘I Want A Naija Boy.’ Isn’t enough that more South African young women are into prostitution calling it “hookups” & Showmax is condoning & promoting it.

Our crime stats for the past 15 years show Jollofs are number 1 in human trafficking; forced prostitution; kidnapping; scams & drugdealing but Producers at Showmax are unable to read the room & instead they create a garbage show like "I want a Naija Boy" to spit in our faces 💔 pic.twitter.com/46TbFB4v7y

South Africans Xenophobia is pathetic. You're complaining about the I want a naija boy on Showmax because it will have Nigerians. Nywe Nywe Our Sisters... Nywe Nywe Nigerians. But you were quiet about #ThisBodyWorksForMe a show glorifying prostitution? VOETSEK.

Honestly that “I Want A Naija Boy” is a horrible concept and it’s degrading really https://t.co/KpYbUl4YxZ
