Social media sensations Happy Boys have made a heartfelt public plea, asking Nigerians to forgive them for their past mistakes. Known for their viral video showing them cheerfully working as security guards at a restaurant, the duo faced backlash and lost much of the support that initially propelled them to fame.
In a recent interview, Happy Boys expressed regret over their actions, admitting that they had disappointed their fans. Reflecting on the challenges they faced, including an arrest and deportation from Cyprus while on an academic scholarship, they shared, “You guys should forgive us, we know we’ve wronged you. We are sad, let’s be sincere. The love and support are not there anymore. We have changed, please forgive us.”
The duo’s apology reflects their hope to reconnect with fans and start fresh, promising they have changed.
Reactions from Nigerians
Social media users shared mixed reactions to the plea. Some were unforgiving, accusing Happy Boys of ingratitude and opportunism. Others dismissed the apology as a publicity stunt.
• @Nigeriangod_ commented, “They don’t need the forgiveness of Nigerians; they were ungrateful. They should go beg that OPM pastor.”
• @ill_nojie noted, “These ones are just professional beggars. They keep coming back over and over.”
• @odukoyaisaac added, “This is just a publicity stunt.”
• @pappyjayfresh advised, “You guys should forgive yourselves first. There are millions of Nigerians looking for their next opportunity. Go queue for your turn again.”
