‘I don’t want to be friends with your dog’ —BBNaija’s Kola warns dog owners against forcing pets on him

Former Big Brother Naija housemate Kola has warned dog owners against forcing their pets on him, saying he is uncomfortable interacting with dogs.

The reality star made this known in a video shared on social media while explaining his discomfort with being around other people’s dogs.

Kola said he does not want to form a relationship with people’s pets and asked dog owners to respect his preference whenever he visits them.

“I don’t want to be friends with your animal. I don’t want to be friends with your dog,” he said.

The former housemate also appealed to dog owners to stop trying to reassure him that their pets are harmless.

He said he does not want to hear assurances that a dog does not bite as he would rather avoid interacting with the animal altogether.

“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,” Kola added.

His comments have sparked reactions on social media, with some users discussing his expressed discomfort around dogs and the importance of respecting personal boundaries.
