The full video raises an even more basic question: how did that young journalist find his way onto Senator Sharafadeen Alli’s lap in the first place? And perhaps even more baffling, how did everyone else in that room watch it happen without apparently recognising how awkward and cringeworthy it... looked? When everybody around you treats something uncomfortable as perfectly normal, you begin to wonder whether the problem is no longer just the moment itself, but the mediocrity of judgement in the room.show more

That journalist looks and sounds anxious to me. Like he doesn’t want to be there (on his lap, that is).

If to say camera no Dey there , he for hold the young man for preek. APC breeds evil.

Let’s grant Sharafa the unlikely benefit of the doubt: perhaps his common sense briefly went on leave and he offered his lap without thinking. But what about the journalist and the other adults in the room? Did their sense of judgment also clock out at the same time? At some point, it stops looking like one person losing his senses and starts looking suspiciously like a coordinated outbreak of poor judgment

I think this crime attracts 15 years in prison... if you're poor in Nigeria

Homosexuality is a crime in Nigeria. So what exactly am I watching here? A grown politician with a young man sitting on his lap while he rubs his thigh on camera. This is pure rubbish. The judgment in APC is embarrassing.

This video even makes it 10 times worse. All these outlandish actions of pretentious display of humility is now bordering on sexually/professionally inappropriate actions even on video. What was he thinking? Empty chairs everywhere. There are several innovative ways he could have been more pretentiously humble but he chose the creepy, cringe one. Even his aides could not advise him? He wanted to look fatherly. He ended up looking like a predator, a gay guy with the lap strokes and a non - respecter of personal or professional boundaries.

You are asking “How” in Apc?

The only missing from this video is the young man calling him PAPI. Poor soul about to be deflowered

It is the caressing for me.

They no sit abi??? What is that 😳? Is that not an empty sit?????? How can a man be so comfortable lapping a fellow man??? 🤔

If it had been ordinary Nigerians doing this, they would have planked them to death. This act by both the senator and the journalist was inappropriate, and it echoes the double standard that exists in the country. I'm still waiting to see who enforces the law on them.

Did I hear him along the video say “ use what you have to get what your want?” Also did I hear him at the ending of the video say “account details” ? Even the guy isn’t even feeling comfortable. Just rubbing his laps up and down 😂 we’re in trouble..

The journalist was clearly uncomfortable

See the way he is rubbing the journalist lap like wtf 😬 this man na gay.. Mr journalist protect your yansh at all cost don’t be deceived by whatever amount he is going to offer you. HIV is real

The journalist himself "might" just be one, a willing tool, a desperately ambitious one or an enabler. He didn't raise the alarm himself, someone else did.

So disgusting and irritating may God help Nigerians

They didn’t see it as normal That’s why that person made the video Speaking up can land him in trouble We are in Nigeria

This is what happens when you surround yourself with sycophants and non professionals. Non of his people could tell him Oga this is not a good look...... Smh

This particular video makes me laughable so hard😂 This is the highlight of most funny videos sofar for 2026 So what was the politician actually thinking? Maybe he thought with the interviewer that close, he won’t ask toomuch truthful and reasonable questions🤔🤣 MAD PEOPLE🤡😡

Look at how he is rubbing his hands around his lower tigh. What kind of shit is this, and some idiots have an explanation about this. One said "If an child have problem with his father, elders will tell him to seat on his laps" wtf is wrong with this people supporting shit

This is what starts happening when we want to be sicophantic just because we want to curry benefit. This foolish display of pretentious humility.

Money. Almost every young Nigerian that love to gain close proximity to a politician for financial gains would allow this. I’m sure they have each other number.

How e take reach the man lap sef?👀

This is sickening to say the least.

How talk take reached lap😂😂😂 you mean?

Why are these evil men in APC so desperate, what does he mean by "use what you have to get what you want "? And the whole system that governs the country won't see anything wrong in this to condemn this despicable act from an important office holder.

The funniest part of the video are the dummies sitting with them as they watch him rubbing his hands on his thighs while sitting on his laps. Abomination!!!

This is so cringe! What in God’s name is happening here???? There’s no explaining this away!

Bad enough the guy is sitting on his lap but Oga is even caressing the guy’s thigh- Jesu Christi!! how can I undo what my eyes had seen ? Omo APC comes with all Kinds of baggages

He looks high asf!

In a sane country the kind lawsuit ehh. The senator will pay with his life

Daddy wey dey pamper 😂😂😂

What in the name is sanity is going on here!!!?? 🤢😵‍💫 Who are these our "leaders" in this country!? Who did Nigeria offend Lord!

Which kind dirty settings be this one nah

Truth be told , the senator might be caressing that guy mindlessly his attention is probably not even there, the only weird thing is he carried that grown ass man like a kid, guy looked tensed tho😅😅😅
