Veteran media personality Yeni Kuti has weighed in on the viral video of Nollywood actress Ngozi Ezeonu rebuking two young ladies for attending an audition in revealing outfits, particularly without wearing bras. The video has sparked a debate on social media, with opinions divided over Ezeonu’s comments.
Ngozi Ezeonu’s Remarks on Revealing Outfits
The viral video captured Ngozi Ezeonu disapproving of the young ladies’ choice to wear revealing outfits to an audition in Lagos. The actress questioned their intentions and lamented the increasing trend of indecent dressing.
Her comments drew mixed reactions online. While some applauded her for taking a firm stance on indecency, others criticized her for policing the choices of young women.
Yeni Kuti’s Perspective: “It’s None of Her Business”
Speaking on the matter during an episode of Your View on TVC, Yeni Kuti criticized Ngozi Ezeonu for her remarks. Kuti argued that it was unnecessary for Ezeonu to condemn the ladies’ choices, suggesting that older people often forget their own youthful indiscretions.
“It wasn’t any of her business. We older people tend to forget what we did in our youthful days,” Yeni Kuti said, offering a more lenient perspective on the matter.
Mohbad’s Father Questions the Paternity of Late Singer’s Son
In a separate development, Joseph Aloba, the father of late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has raised concerns about the paternity of his grandson, Liam. Aloba has requested a DNA test to confirm the child’s relationship with Mohbad.
Aloba Criticizes Lack of Contact from Mohbad’s Family
Speaking in an interview with Silverbird TV, Aloba expressed frustration over the lack of communication from Mohbad’s wife, Wunmi, and their son, Liam, since the singer’s tragic death.
“I’ve not seen Mohbad’s wife and son since his death. Even my son, Adura, none of them came to me. They know where I’m living. They are supposed to come to me and say, ‘This is your grandson,’” Aloba lamented.
Demand for a DNA Test
Aloba revealed that he has demanded a DNA test to settle the matter, accusing Mohbad’s family of delaying the process.
“I demanded DNA; they are supposed to say, ‘Daddy, do it at your convenient time,’ but they have been hiding it. So, it became a public matter. Let the court have the final say concerning it. I’ll know exactly what to do from there,” he said.
Family Tensions: Adura’s Distance
Adding to his frustrations, Aloba mentioned that his other son, Adura, who lived with Mohbad before his death, has also distanced himself.
“Adura is now 22 years old, but he never called me or came to my house since his brother’s death. It’s like some people are covering him. We used to be together, but something separated us after Mohbad’s death,” Aloba stated.
He further expressed disappointment that Adura has not provided details about Mohbad’s death, despite living in the same house as the late singer.
Final Thoughts
The viral video featuring Ngozi Ezeonu’s remarks on revealing outfits and Yeni Kuti’s subsequent reaction highlights the generational divide on issues of personal expression. While some applaud Ezeonu for advocating decency, others side with Yeni Kuti, advocating for tolerance and understanding.
Meanwhile, Joseph Aloba’s demand for a DNA test to confirm the paternity of Mohbad’s son underscores ongoing tensions within the late singer’s family. As fans and the public await further developments, these stories reflect broader conversations about values, relationships, and legacies in Nigerian society.
