Yeni, one of the hosts on the Your View show, discussed what happened between Ngozi Ezeonu and the ladies with her fellow co-hosts.
The former dancer and businesswoman was quick to express her displeasure about how the actress’ interaction with the girls went. According to Yeni Kuti, the matter was not really any of Ngozi Ezeonu’s business and she could have told the ladies that she doesn’t accept people dressed like them.
Speaking further, Yeni complained about how she does not want to be a hypocrite because she knows how she used to dress when she was a young lady. According to her, many old people have forgotten how they spent their youth.
In her words:
“I think that it wasn’t really any of her business, all she had to do was reject them, ‘I don’t want people who dress like you’, that’s all. Because she made a statement saying ‘even when I was your age…’, I don’t want to be a hypocrite because when I was that age… see as old people we forget what we did so when we are criticising the young people, I have forgotten what I did at 24 or 24, when my stomach was flat, I had six packs. If I wear that now, they will call me say ‘aunty this your belly, are you not ashamed to be showing it about?’”

officialsalvy1:
“This shouldn’t even be a debate. What they wore to the audition was improper. The same girls will complain about producers sexxualizing them and they’re giving them every reason to. It’s an audition, Atleast wear bra.”

Soyoufoundmanuel:

sparkles01___:
“To be sensible is not by age shaa, when your daughters are going for a Job interview, they shud kukuma dress half naked, if you like ma.”
dumebiiiii_:
“It didn’t need to be recorded. That is just my view.”
Hrh_kingdiamond:
“It was her business. If parent fails to raise their kids properly the society will help them and they will not like it. It takes a village to raise a child.”

“Love her.”
Mondaysinclair:
“Dress the way you want to be addressed period.”
Ritaestherr:

Ugoo_chi:
“Yeni, I forgive you because I understand where you are coming from.”
jahblez3310:

realannjay:
“Some of us still regretting somethings we did back then which will never allow our kids or loved one do. I support her.”
chinyereonyenwe:
“Yeni, its okay for you to say something like this “I remember wearing revealing clothes like that in my younger days but as I’ve become an older woman, I find it ridiculous how I opened my body in such manner, I wished I had someone like Ngozi back then to call me order.””
Juanpresh:
“As long as it was her Audition, it is 100% her buisness!! Organize your audition and tell them to come naked.... we wont complain.”
Descady:
“You were raised by a man we all know doesn’t see those things as anything…..allow people that were raised in decency to advise the younger ones as well.”
Deevasecrets:
“Like is she saying what NGOZI said is wrong ? The girl can dress anyhow she wants but there are certain places you dress with decorum, let’s not because we want to stay woke and accept low moral standards… will there be rebels yes but that should not be the acceptable standards.”
Kiddiesgearstore1:
“If she did it privately more ladies will go there and repeat same pattern. These were the scapegoats. Now that the video went viral everyone knows better than to dress this way.”
ddikedioramma:
“No be everybody live wayward life as young people!!”
Okm_herbal:
“Let me ask, if you did certain things when you were younger and now that you are older, you've understood that they are wrong, will you address it or overlook it? Call out her style of correction but don't say she's wrong. They were wrong to have gone there without bràs, she was right to correct, not just In front of the camera.”
paysherfurniture.ng:
““It’s none of your business”,This statement here is the cause of the rapid moral decadence. It’s her set and you dress how you want to be addressed. It’s a pity that they were the scapegoats.”
