“Male Privilege” – Journalist condemns Paul Okoye for going shirtless while campaigning for #EndSARS

Nigerian TV journalist, Sandra Ezekwesili has condemned singer, Paul Okoye alias Rudeboy for going shirtless in his #EndSARS campaign video.

Rudeboy had earlier shared a shirtless video where he spoke against police brutality and called for an end to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

The TV broadcaster then said the fact he could go shirtless to pass a message is an indication of male privilege.

For her, if it were a lady who posted a shirtless video, she would have been condemned, but because it is a male, no one seems to care.

She tweeted… “Male privilege is making a viral shirtless video and having everyone pay attention only to your message.”
