Bobrisky says leaving Nigeria was one of the best decisions of his life

Nigerian socialite and crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has described his decision to leave Nigeria as one of the best choices he has made in his life.

Bobrisky, who relocated from Nigeria in November 2024 following controversies surrounding his imprisonment for naira abuse, said he had found peace outside the country and had no intention of giving it up.

The socialite made this known in a post shared on his Instagram page, where he reflected on his decision to relocate and described Nigeria as a toxic environment characterised by frequent drama, gossip and conflicts.

Reflecting on his relocation, Bobrisky said leaving Nigeria had turned out to be one of the most beneficial decisions he had made.

He explained that he was enjoying the peace and tranquillity of his new environment, adding that he was determined not to allow anything to disrupt the experience.
