Wife Material Shall Continue- Eric Omondi Speaks About His Show After Sending Contestants Home
After being arrested for sharing unauthorized content, comedian Eric Omondi has revealed that he won’t stop airing his popular Wife Material show. The show, which had over 15 contestants, had been stopped by Kenya Film Classification Board CEO Ezekiel Mutua. The CEO claimed that the show had explicit content, which was inappropriate for viewership and hadn’t been licensed. He added that Wife Material didn’t have to be dirty to sell; and Eric agreed with him.
Wife Material Contestants Sent Home
The comedian dismissed the show for a while and sent home the contestants.
He has however said that the show will continue, but will now have clean content. In an interview, he said,
”And as I spoke with daktari and agreed that it’s quite basic and we’re all in agreement that I don’t have to be dirty to sell. So we’ll be avoiding obscenity. And as we’ve agreed with the board, the regional idea is quite an interesting idea and it shall continue. Bigger, better, and of course, cleaner.
And mine is just to say asanti sana for the support and for the understanding. Mbarikiwe sana”
The show was highly anticipated by netizens, some terming it as pioneering East Africa to the world. Others like Kenyan gospel artist Ringtone say that Eric doesn’t have respect for women and want the show to be banned.
The return of the show will definitely be interesting.
