Former Big Brother Naija housemate Pere Egbi has joined the growing conversation surrounding South African singer Tyla’s proposed visit to Nigeria, urging the Federal Government to deny the singer and her team entry visas.
The reality TV star shared his opinion on social media while reacting to the ongoing debate over Tyla’s scheduled performance in Nigeria. His comments come amid renewed discussions about the treatment of Nigerians in South Africa and calls for reciprocal action.
Pere appealed to the Nigerian authorities to reject visa applications from Tyla and her crew, arguing that the country should respond firmly to what many Nigerians perceive as unfair treatment of their citizens abroad.
In his words:
“We are collectively imploring you to intentionally deny Tyla and her team visas as well. They can’t do this to our own and we welcome their own. M@dness must match m@dness.”
His statement has sparked mixed reactions online. While some social media users agreed with his stance, insisting Nigeria should adopt stricter measures in response to recurring reports of hostility toward Nigerians in South Africa, others argued that artists should not be held responsible for political or diplomatic issues between the two countries.

@Jayz 🌱:”Denying her visa is easy. Protecting Nigerians in SA is the real task.”
@Kulture Radar:”Please allow them.. I just want to see if Nigerians mean what they’ve been ranting online in real life”
@Ola:”I’m sure the visa was approved long ago, but that doesn’t guarantee entry. Immigration officers can still turn her back on arrival if they choose to. Fair is fair, isn’t it? What’s good for the goose should be good for the gander.”
@Polar💀:’After all this noise, na same una go still purchase the tickets and attend the concert”
@charlesonBLACK:”She self suppose don use her hand cancel the show. Abi she wan know Wetin we go do 😂😂.”
