Hotelier claims it's Equatorial Guinea's culture
In a Facebook post on November 9, the hotelier claimed the scandal is a cultural thing in Equatorial Guinea and is unsurprising to their populace.
He claimed that only Nigerians are making noise about the Baltasar scandal. In his words:
"I’ve said this before at countless places.
"What’s going on in Equatorial Guinea is purely Cultural.
"I strongly believe this particular case is deeply rooted in their culture.
"That’s their culture.
"This outrageous sexual loose cannon thing Na Panya normal way of life.
"They even have more holidays than working days.
"No be Paya people be that?
"Very few men come back from their and remain useful and productive.
"There’s this hedonistic promiscuous culture about them - they place the highest priority on enjoyments.
"Wanton licentiousness and unbridled sexual loose conduct is usually rampant there.
"Everything na high level pleasure.
"It’s even Nigerians that are making noise about it..."
Why Baltasar talks should be banned
Speaking further, Azubuike said he fears that the "Equatorial Guinea sexual culture" may be assimilated by Nigerians if it is constantly talked about on social media.
He added that he fears for Nigerian children and women. He wrote:
"...We must be careful about how we discuss this culture.
"One of the most common means of Cultural Assimilation is by constantly discussing a culture.
"Before you realize it, cultural integration and inclusion will start happening.
"Overly discussing on this Panya culture may find some of our women begin to see their culture as normal.
"Once adopted, overtime we blend into it, and it becomes part of our culture.
"God forbid!
"Therefore I’ll advocate we refrain discussing this Panya talk so that we don’t get caught up with that cultural lewdness.
"For I fear for our children.
"Especially our little impressionable daughters.
"I fear for our women too!"
