Influencer Mandy Kiss Named Ambassador for Lagos Anti-Drug Campaign

-

LAGOS, NIGERIA — Social media personality Ayomiposi Oluwadahunsi, popularly known as Mandy Kiss, has been unveiled as a brand ambassador for the Lagos State Kick Against Drug and Substance Abuse (LASKADA).

The announcement was made on Tuesday by the Lagos State Commissioner for Youth and Social Development, Mobolaji Ogunlende, during an event organised by the anti-drug initiative.

“We’re here with Mandy Kiss, and she has agreed to become one of our LASKADA brand ambassadors,” Ogunlende said in a viral video, describing drug abuse as a “pandemic” ravaging Lagos communities.

He stressed the importance of government partnering with influencers who can reach large audiences, noting Mandy Kiss’s 402,000-strong following. “The government cannot fight it alone… with the powers conferred on me, I make her one of our brand ambassadors. So, say no to drugs,” he declared.

The appointment follows recent controversy after Mandy Kiss sparked outrage with a social media post claiming she planned to have sex with 100 men in one day. An idea she later dismissed as a joke. The Guinness World Records also distanced itself from the claim, clarifying it does not recognize sexual activity as a record category.

Defending the decision, Ogunlende said her influence could help spread anti-drug awareness. “Everybody has a past, nobody’s perfect, but as a brand ambassador, we hope Mandy Kiss will reach the nooks and crannies of Lagos to assist us in fighting this pandemic,” he added.
