Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has publicly called out Arise Television anchor, Rufai Oseni in a video currently making rounds on social media, accusing him of lacking respect and professional conduct.
In the footage, Edochie challenged Oseni’s moral right to interrogate political figures and guests on live television, referencing a past incident in Lagos where the broadcaster was reportedly caught driving on a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lane.
“Is this not the same Rufai Oseni that was caught driving on BRT lane?” Edochie asked
When officials caught you, instead of apologising, you were shouting, ‘Do you know who I am? I’m going to call the governor of Lagos State.”
He alleged that Oseni only apologised after a video of the incident surfaced online.
‘‘If not because somebody had a video, you could not even apologise. If there was no video, what would have happened?” he said.
The actor also slammed the Arise TV presenter for being disrespectful to guests during interviews.
“How can you invite somebody and make the guest uncomfortable?” Edochie queried.

“If a guest is not comfortable, the first thing you do is apologise and make the guest feel at ease. How can you tell a guest that if they’re not comfortable, they are free to walk out of the studio?”
Edochie further criticised what he described as Oseni’s confrontational approach on television.
“You are insulting people on national TV. You’re a very disrespectful person. That is not journalism,” he said.
Turning his attention to national politics, Edochie defended President Bola Tinubu and appealed to Nigerians to show him respect and give his administration more time.
“Jagaban President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the President of Nigeria, whether you like it or not. He is our President, you must respect him,” he stated. “The man just came in. Give him time. Rome was not built in a day.”
But Mr Edochie is not the first to call out Oseni. Oseni is reputed to fearlessly demand answers from politicians and often dispute their narrative as contradictory to facts. While some may agree with Edochie that his ramboustic style is offensive, millions of his supporters believe he is holding their rulers feet to the fire.

Well, there has been people saying he is disrespectful and whatnot, but then again sometimes you need to probe the clam from the right angle to get into it’s shell. It might be invasive, it most definitely is uncomfortable, but will it be done? Yes.
