Mama Uka Issues Stern Warning to Colleagues Over Unwanted Gay Advances: “Next Time, I’ll Expose You”

 

Mama Uka Draws The Line: Popular Skit Maker Threatens to Expose Colleagues Making Gay Advances

Nigerian social media sensation and comic content creator, Chukwueze Odinaka, widely known by his stage persona Mama Uka, has sparked a wave of reactions online after releasing a firm message addressing the growing number of same-sex romantic advances he's been receiving—particularly from individuals within the entertainment industry.

The popular skit maker took to his verified Instagram page to issue what he described as a “final warning” to those sliding into his direct messages with propositions that go against his expressed sexual orientation. In a video message now making rounds across multiple platforms, Mama Uka did not mince words, expressing clear frustration over what he termed as repeated disrespect.

According to the father and Enugu State native, he has consistently tried to handle the situation with discretion and maturity. Despite politely stating his sexual preferences and informing interested individuals that he is a heterosexual man, the advances have reportedly persisted. This time, however, he declared that he will no longer tolerate it.

Without directly naming anyone, Mama Uka stated emphatically that any further attempts will be publicly exposed—complete with screenshots of the conversations. He also issued a blunt reminder that Nigerian blogs thrive on scandalous content and would not hesitate to circulate the names and messages of those involved, regardless of their social standing or celebrity status.

“This message is for my colleagues and others who don’t want to respect themselves,” he said. “If anyone comes to my DM again as my fellow man to ask me out, I will screenshot it and post. I won’t mind your status. And you know Nigerian blogs like that kind of news, they will post you. This is the last warning.”

The video, although firm in tone, also carried an undercurrent of personal boundary-setting. Mama Uka noted that his life as a father and his deep cultural roots in Enugu Ezike, a community known for traditional values, reinforce his position.

“I have tried to be mature about this by telling you privately that I’m straight. I’m a father. Also, I come from a very sacred place, Enugu Ezike. We don’t misbehave… If any of you comes to my DM again to ask me out, I will post it,” he added.

The statement has since stirred diverse reactions across social media. Some have applauded the content creator for setting clear personal boundaries, while others have raised concerns about the implications of publicly outing individuals, especially in a country like Nigeria, where LGBTQ+ rights remain a polarizing and sensitive issue.

Critics argue that public exposure could lead to harassment or even endanger the lives of those involved, citing Nigeria’s legal framework that criminalizes same-sex relationships. On the other hand, supporters of Mama Uka insist that unsolicited sexual advances—regardless of gender or orientation—are invasive and should be addressed firmly.

The incident has also reignited conversations around personal privacy, digital conduct, and respect for individual sexual identities within the Nigerian creative community. While many agree that everyone has the right to express and defend their boundaries, others emphasize the importance of compassion and discretion in dealing with sensitive matters—especially in a space as interconnected and public as the entertainment industry.

As the debate continues online, one thing is clear: Mama Uka’s message is not just a random outburst but a reflection of deeper tensions that exist within the modern African celebrity space. Fame, identity, and societal expectation often collide in unpredictable ways, and how each individual chooses to navigate that complex terrain can shape not only their personal reputation but also influence broader cultural narratives.

Mama Uka remains one of Nigeria’s fastest-rising skit makers, known for his humorous portrayals of traditional Igbo matriarchs. His content regularly racks up millions of views and has endeared him to audiences both within Nigeria and in the diaspora. Whether this latest controversy will affect his growing fanbase is yet to be seen, but it has undeniably added another layer to his public persona—one marked by clear boundaries and an unapologetic sense of self.
