In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Egbi advised young, single women to avoid living by themselves, suggesting that having a trusted companion could help reduce risks and provide emotional support. He encouraged women to live with friends or family members rather than stay alone, describing solitary living as unsafe.
According to him, cohabiting with someone else offers an added layer of security and companionship, particularly in urban settings where emergencies can arise unexpectedly. His comments quickly drew mixed reactions, with some users questioning the motivation behind the advice.
When asked whether his stance was influenced by the recent death of Abuja-based singer Ifunanya Nwangene, who reportedly died after suffering a snake bite at her residence, Egbi responded that his concerns were shaped by “everything,” implying a combination of factors rather than a single incident.
He further clarified that his opinion was not limited to women alone, adding that living alone is generally “not good” regardless of gender.
Egbi’s remarks have since sparked broader debate on social media, with users weighing in on issues of personal freedom, safety, and the realities of independent living in Nigeria.
