Corper Raye tenders public apology to Lagosians

• Raye encouraged Nigerians to focus on advocating for better living conditions instead of being distracted by temporary issues.

Ushie Rita Uguamaye, better known as Raye, has made a public apology to the citizens of Lagos and those affected by her viral video, where she criticized the economic climate of the country and mentioned an unpleasant odor in Lagos.

Her comments received considerable backlash, leading to an attempt to summon her for a disciplinary meeting with the Local Government Inspector.

In response, Raye took to Instagram to clarify her comments and express her regret over how they were received.

She explained that her remarks were part of a “30-day rant challenge” meant to voice frustrations about Nigeria’s economy, and she had intended to reach Day 20 before gaining attention, but her comments went viral immediately.

Raye encouraged Nigerians to focus on advocating for better living conditions instead of being distracted by temporary issues.

“I want to first of all state that I AM SORRY to the people who were born and raised in Lagos if you feel offended by what I said,”

“As a visitor here, I could tell there was a difference in the atmosphere and quality of air. If the way I put it triggered emotions and your love for your birth state, I am sorry. I didn’t mean to talk down on Lagos,” she added.

“I work 45+ hours a week and should be able to afford hanging out with my friends every weekend. However, I can’t. But how many of us can actually afford that?”

“If we stay committed to asking for better, we will get better,”she wrote.
