Abuja, Nigeria – September 23 — Bishop Professor Funmilayo Adesanya-Davies, a respected human rights advocate, gender champion, former presidential candidate, and public commentator, has strongly condemned the controversial sex stunt announced by Nigerian entertainer Mandy Kiss in Ikorodu. The act, which reportedly involves engaging 100 men within 24 hours in pursuit of a Guinness World Record, has been described as both outrageous and morally degrading.
“Nigerian content creator Ayomiposi Oluwadahunsi, popularly known as Mandy Kiss, has announced plans to attempt a Guinness World Record for the highest number of sexual partners in a single day. In a post on Instagram on Monday, Mandy Kiss shared a flier featuring the Guinness World Records logo and revealed that her attempt is scheduled for October 30. According to the flier, she aims to engage with 100 men within 24 hours. The event is expected to take place in Ikorodu, Lagos, though the exact location has not been disclosed. Mandy Kiss wrote, “100 men for 24 hours. I can and I will.”
It remains unclear whether Guinness World Records has officially approved or will recognize such a category.
Describing the stunt as “an alarming degradation of human dignity and a dangerous exploitation of societal values,” Bishop Prof Adesanya-Davies expressed profound disappointment over the event, which she said undermines the core principles of respect, self-worth, and morality. The respected cleric and academic emphasized that such acts contribute to the erosion of cultural and ethical standards in Nigerian society.
“This is not a matter of entertainment or freedom of expression — it is a reckless display that trivializes intimacy and promotes dangerous behavior, especially among vulnerable youth who look up to public figures for guidance,” she stated firmly. “We must not allow such spectacles to define or distort the future of our nation’s moral fabric.”
A public “sexathon” for the Guinness World Records could further destroy the Nigerian community through the health risks it poses, potential exploitation and commodification of sex, and deep offense to cultural and religious values. Nigerian Supreme Council for Ecclesiastical Affairs (NSCEA) and Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) would resist it, with all well-meaning people of Nigeria. The proposal of such an event, as was reported in Cameroon in 2023, sparked widespread backlash for obvious reasons and it would be worse if Nigerian government allows it.
*Ethical and moral concerns*
The commodification of sex for entertainment and the potential for exploitation would clash with a community’s ethical standards.
– Exploitation: Individuals who are financially vulnerable may be coerced into participating in such condemnable acts, creating a system of exploitation that preys on marginalized members of the community. The visibility of such an event could also increase the risk of human trafficking for advanced sex commerce.
– Commodification of sex: Turning sexual activity into a public spectacle for a record and media attention cheapens and objectifies human sexuality.
– Negative messaging: Such an event sends a harmful message about the nature of sex and intimacy, particularly to young people.
*Social and cultural impact*
The event would likely cause serious social unrest by deeply offending local cultural and religious beliefs. Desecration of cultural values: In many Nigerian traditional cultures & (The Christian & Moslems in particular), public sexual acts are considered taboo and shameful. The event would be seen as a direct attack on the community’s moral fabric.
– Erosion of community reputation: The event would bring negative publicity and stigmatize the Nigerian nation at such a time like this, harming its image and potentially scaring away tourism and investment from cultured societies.
– Conflict and division: The proposal alone will create unhealthy conflict and debate within the community, with some residents defending traditional values and expressing outrage.
– Normalization of risky behaviours: Normalizing such a spectacle could encourage high-risk sexual behaviour mindset and casual sex culture, creating lasting social problems for the community.
*Health and safety risks*
Organizing a public sexual event without proper regulation creates a high-risk environment for participants and the community at large, potentially amplifying public health crises.
– Sexually transmitted infections (STIs): Without proper health screening and safe sex practices, participants risk contracting and spreading STIs, including HIV.
– Physical injury: A marathon-style sexual activity can lead to physical injury from fatigue, exertion, and insufficient preparation.
– Substance abuse: The environment could encourage drug and alcohol use, which impairs judgment and increases the likelihood of risky behaviour.
– Sanitation issues: A public event of this nature would raise serious concerns about hygiene and sanitation for participants and the surrounding area.
Bishop Prof Funmilayo Adesanya-Davies called on relevant authorities, such as the Nigerian First lady Senator Remi Tinubu, women leaders, community leaders, and social stakeholders to take immediate action to discourage such harmful public displays and to engage in constructive dialogue aimed at restoring dignity and respect to Nigerian cultural norms.
“As a society committed to progress and justice, we must hold ourselves and our influencers accountable. Exploitation of human sexuality for publicity or personal gain is not only shameful but detrimental to our collective well-being,” she asserted.
The activist also urged media platforms and consumers to exercise discretion and responsibility in amplifying such events, warning against glorification of acts that could perpetuate social decay as the Holy Bible warns:
– “If anyone causes one of these little ones — those who believe in me — to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned…” Matthew 18:6-7;
– “But there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity… No immoral, impure person has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.” Ephesians 5:3-5;
– “The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery… I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:19-21. Let these verses serve as a spiritual rebuke, a moral reminder, and a call to repentance.
Bishop Professor Funmilayo Adesanya-Davies remains unwavering in her mission to promote human rights, gender equality, and moral integrity in Nigeria. As a bishop, professor, activist, and former presidential candidate, she continues to use her voice and platform to uphold ethical values and defend the dignity of society.
