Former Big Brother Naija housemate Kola has asked dog owners to stop expecting him to interact with their pets whenever he visits them.
The reality TV personality made his position known in a video shared on social media, explaining that he is uncomfortable being around dogs.
“I don’t want to be friends with your animal. I don’t want to be friends with your dog,” Kola said.
He also urged dog owners not to try to reassure him that their pets are harmless, saying such assurances would not change his discomfort around the animals.
“Please, to those of you that have dogs, I don’t want to be friends with your animal. Don’t say it doesn’t bite. Please, I don’t want,” he added.
Kola’s comments have drawn attention online, particularly among dog owners and social media users who have different attitudes towards keeping pets in their homes.
While many dog owners consider their pets part of the family, Kola made it clear that he does not want to be pressured into interacting with dogs simply because he visits someone who owns one.
His remarks have also sparked a wider conversation about respecting personal boundaries around pets, especially when guests are uncomfortable around animals.
For Kola, the message is straightforward: dog owners should not expect him to pet, play with or become friends with their dogs during visits.
