Venita Apologizes To Tivs Over Her Comment

BBNaija All Stars: Finally, Venita apologises to Tivs over her comment

Evicted Big Brother Naija All Stars housemate, Venita Akpofure, has apologised to the Tiv people over her controversial comment about the culture of Tivs. 

The apex Tiv socio-cultural organisation, Mdzough U Tiv, Lagos State Branch, and the member representing Makurdi/Guma Federal Constituency of Benue State in the House of Representatives, Hon. Dickson Tarkighir, had threatened legal actions against Venita.

In a post-eviction interview with media personality, Hero Daniels, the mother of two said she regrets her “careless” comment especially as her daughters are Tiv.

On her apology, She said, “The statement I made about Tiv people got twisted a bit. My daughters are actually Tiv. There’s no way I will be trying to make any kind of malicious or slanderous comment towards their people. Actually, in my season we did a whole play around the Tor Tiv coronation which I participated in and was super excited about.

She finally said “For those that are offended by it, I’m regretful about that.”
