Eni in reaction to the video, argued that it is inhumane, unjust, and unkind for one to pick up a plank and hit another human because they do not agree with their choices or sexual orientation. 

 

His comment was greeted with mixed reactions, While some Nigerians supported his stand, others in the majority slammed him for standing up for a crossdresser.

 

Responding to the backlash, Enioluwa argued that as a people, we cannot resort to violence or harm against others simply because we disagree with their choices or lifestyles. In his words

‘’You can decide to misconstrue what I have said but “Regardless of our personal beliefs or preferences, justice should never be selective. Once it is, then it simply does not exist.”

 

We cannot resort to violence or harm against others simply because we disagree with their choices or lifestyles.

 

Just as we would report illegal activities to the authorities, we must uphold the principle of due process and refrain from taking justice into our own hands.

 

We must reject the notion that violence is justified based on our perceptions of stereotypes and misconceptions. Disputes should and must be resolved through lawful means.''
