Media personality Morayo Afolabi-Brown has responded to criticism trailing her recent interview with actress Ireti Doyle, insisting that the session was transparent and not designed to embarrass her guest.
Addressing the backlash, Afolabi-Brown clarified that Doyle was provided with the interview questions in advance, dismissing claims that she attempted to ambush the actress during the programme.
She stressed that her show is intentionally structured to highlight positivity and celebrate guests, rather than focus on controversy or confrontation.
“Nigerians! You people are always battle-ready. My guest got her questions a day before her interview. I wasn’t trying to spring a fast one on her,” she said.
The TV host noted that many Nigerians are conditioned to expect negativity from media platforms, attributing the mindset to years of exposure to harsh leadership and societal challenges.
According to her, most television content in the country tends to centre on criticism, debates, and conflict, leaving little room for uplifting and joyful programming.
Afolabi-Brown explained that her motivation for creating the show was to provide a refreshing alternative that promotes happiness, laughter, and optimism among viewers.
“We are so used to being bashed on TV that we believe every presenter is trying to set a trap. It’s all joy here,” she added.
She urged Nigerians to be less skeptical and more open to positive content, acknowledging the pressures of daily life while encouraging a shift toward embracing moments of joy.
