Mandy Kiss Appointed Lagos Anti-Drug Ambassador Following Controversial Record Attempt

Nigerian content creator Ayomiposi Oluwadahunsi, popularly known as Mandy Kiss, has been appointed as a brand ambassador for the Lagos State Kick Against Drug and Substance Abuse (LASKADA).

The appointment was announced at a recent event, with Lagos State Commissioner for Youth and Social Development, Mobolaji Abubakre Ogunlende, in attendance.

Ogunlende stated that the government is actively pursuing partnerships with influencers who have wide-reaching audiences to strengthen the fight against the “pandemic” of drug abuse.

“We’re here with Mandy Kiss, and you know, she’s actually agreed to become one of our LASKADA brand ambassadors, Lagos State Kicks Against Drug Abuse,” Ogunlende said.

“Drugs are a pandemic that is hitting our streets, society and community. The government cannot fight it alone.

“We must work in collaboration with those that can reach as many people as possible, and we know Mandy Kiss has a large followership, 402,000. We’ve had conversations and we’re trying to do things differently.”

Ogunlende acknowledged that “everybody has a past, nobody’s perfect,” stressing that the state’s primary focus is on moving forward.

“Everybody has a past, nobody’s perfect, but again, as a brand ambassador to Legal State Kicks Against Drug Abuse, we hope Mandy Kiss will be able to reach the nooks and crannies, you know, of Lagos to assist us in fighting this pandemic,” he added.

“With the powers conferred on me, I make her one of our brand ambassadors. So, say no to drugs. Say what? Say no to drugs.”

In response on her Instagram page on Tuesday, Mandy Kiss called the appointment a “new chapter” and a chance to motivate and inspire young people.

She thanked the Lagos government, emphasising that the role is both an honour and a meaningful responsibility.

“New chapter unlocked!!! Officially a LASKADA Ambassador! Ready to stand tall in the fight against drug abuse and inspire our youths to choose 1,415 purpose over drugs,” she wrote.

“A drug-free Lagos is possible, and it starts with us! Grateful to the Lagos State Ministry of Youth & Social Development under the Leadership of 232 JGOvernor Sanwo olu for this honorable appointment as an Ambassador of LASKADA.

“This is not just a title-it’s a call to action! Together, 1,146 th let’s raise our voices, spread awareness, and create a future where our youths thrive beyond drug abuse.”

The ambassadorship follows shortly after the content creator sparked controversy with her plan to set a world record by having sex with 100 men in 24 hours.

However, Guinness World Records distanced itself from the attempt, stating, “This is not a record we monitor.”

Mandy subsequently canceled the plan following intense backlash, notably from Akintunde Akinyemi, the Eselu of Iselu Kingdom in Ogun State.
