Bibi Bright has long proved her daftness, and her interview with Delay last week only cemented the opinion in my mind, even as she continues to think she is some kind of maverick for voicing those opinions.
All she said was that God doesn’t create disabled people. It’s a factually wrong statement, whether you take it from within the confines of Christian theology or into the realm of scientific biology. John 9 1-3 is enough to prove she doesn’t know what the hell she’s talking about.
But despite her all around dumbness, I never fathomed she’d let herself wallow into the cesspool of outright cruelty. Some people say dumb sh*t because they just do not know any better, they’re dealing with bad information or even worse, no information. They’re just ignorant rather than cruel – except Bibi has proven herself ignorant and cruel.
After her comments on the Delay show, putting all blame for physical defects on parents rather than the creator, one visually impaired student of the University of Ghana wrote a letter to the actress attempting to point out the inaccuracies in her statement, perhaps get her to realise how such a sentiment as that she espoused might be cruel to the sensibilities of people with disabilities and their parents.
And this lady would have a point. There is more to a person becoming disabled than you can just blanket blame on their parents. Some genetic predispositions are not chosen by anyone, and her brilliant thesis fails to take into account people who become impaired later in life.
Yet this was the response Bibi saw fit to send to a person grappling with a disability who attempted to set her straight.

“You got some nerves to send me a message” she messaged back to the student.
“It’s my views if you don’t like it then keep your views to yourself!! Stay out of my dm’s…. Stay in your box brain and leave me to be in my open mind.. Never ever in your life dm me again! Thank you! And visually impaired? Well ask your mama what she was taking in when she was pregnant with you… There you have your answer! You left your number for? FOH!!”
The irony. Bibi Bright wouldn’t recognise an open mind if it hit her in the face with all the force of a brick. And insulting someone calmly challenging your opinions, now that’s classy. The it’s my opinion (views) defence is the last stand of the empty headed when challenged with facts. The fact that she thinks she’s some vanguard of open mindedness whilst displaying the most bigoted mind of all has to be the textbook definition of irony.
It’s a shame that this sort of empty-headedness is what we always have to deal with from our ‘celebrities’. The smart ones are so few you could count them on one hand.
Read the letter written to Bibi that sparked such vitriol from her…
Dear Bibi Bright, I watched your interview with Delay few days ago and I wish to register my thoughts on the comments you made in distinguishing creation from birth.
To begin with, you failed to recognize that birth or creation happens before future occurrences like accidents or even illness.
A beautiful creation, or what you would like to call a manufactured good can encounter hurdles in life that can alter the initial appearance. For instance, a girl’s face can be sprayed with acid by her boyfriend and her face would get disfigured.
Or more, a boy could be involved in an accident and may have to get some member of his cut off to save his life. even you, a beautiful actress can lose your beauty and charm if………
So please review your notes, madam. Speak for yourself as a manufactured good. All is beautiful before the sight of the ultimate creator. Have you forgotten that the same God said he knew us before we were born? Surely, then there must have been some creation before birth. Even manufacturers design their models before actually moulding them. Tell me you don’t practice your lines before going on set and I’ll equally tell you that you are not a perfect actress.
Bibi bright, if you respect the creation power of God, please leave him to be the ultimate judge of what is perfect.
