Kunle Afolayan’s dance with daughter inappropriate — Psychologists

Published

on

The bond between a father and his daughter is often celebrated as something special, but when a popular filmmaker, Kunle Afolayan, shared a video of himself dancing with his daughter, Eyiyemi, at the premiere of his new Netflix movie series titled, ‘Anikulapo Series: Rise of Spectre’, sparked controversy.

Many people were of the opinion that the dance was sensual, thus inappropriate between a father and daughter, especially one who is believed to be a teenager.

In an interview with Saturday Beats, a clinical psychologist, John Eze, stated that cultural norms and family dynamics often influenced perceptions of appropriateness. He said, “It depends on the culture. For example, Igbos are more liberal than Hausas. It also depends on whether or not the child’s mother is alive.

“If the man and his daughter find it comfortable, it should not be a problem. But, if the girls find it uncomfortable, two things may occur— she could move away from her father and refuse to continue dancing with him, or she could get attracted to the father, which could be a serious problem. Someone close to them should have monitored what was happening.”

Another psychologist, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, stated that generational differences and evolving societal norms often challenged traditional boundaries, especially as regards what is considered appropriate in today’s world, as opposed to the past.

They said, “She (Kunle’s daughter) is at an age where hormones are raging so, from the cultural, religious and psychological perspective, it is inappropriate. I am wondering what message the father is passing across to the crowd. Whatever the message was, it was not well done. We just saw that incident…what if that had been going on for a while?

“Meanwhile, young people of Gen Z, tend to practise a lot of things. It seems that some of the things that were not appropriate in my generation might be appropriate in this dispensation.”

However, apparently unmoved by backlash, Kunle wrote on Instagram, “Love surpasses everything. Do I look like…”

Lizzy Anjorin Questions Court Order Over Priscilla Ojo’s Son

Published

on

Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin has questioned the authenticity of an interim order issued by the Lagos State High Court on 2 September 2026, restraining her from publishing photographs of Priscilla Ojo’s one-year-old son, Rakeem Mkambala, and from posting editorials concerning the family on specified social media platforms.

Anjorin raised the issue during an Instagram Live session on Friday, 4 September, after Priscilla shared a copy of the court order online.

The actress argued that publicising court documents before formally serving the respondent undermines the case.

“Your case na dead on arrival. If you post court letter on any platform before serving person wey you wan go serve, that court case na fake court case,” Anjorin said during the live session.

Her comments came shortly after the High Court of Lagos State granted an ex parte application brought by Priscilla, her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Mussa Mkambala, and their son, Rakeem.

Justice Yetunde Adesanya issued the interim order in Suit No. LD/ADR/6646/2026.

The order restrains Anjorin, as well as people acting under her authority, from publishing, posting, circulating, uploading or broadcasting photographs of Rakeem on specified social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and TikTok.

The court also directed Anjorin to cease publishing or broadcasting editorials concerning the applicants on the platforms covered by the order.

An ex parte order is made at an interim stage without the respondent being heard. The order is therefore not a final determination of the dispute and remains subject to further proceedings.

Priscilla shared the certified copy of the order on her Instagram Story on Friday, bringing the legal development into public view.

Anjorin’s reaction centres on the timing and manner in which the court documents were publicised. Her assertion that such publication makes a case “fake” is her own claim and is not a finding contained in the court order.

The development marks another chapter in the prolonged public dispute between Anjorin and Priscilla’s family, particularly Priscilla’s mother, actress Iyabo Ojo.

The disagreement has played out largely on social media and has previously resulted in legal action, including a ₦1 billion defamation suit filed by Iyabo Ojo against Anjorin.

In recent weeks, the dispute has also drawn Priscilla and her young son into the controversy, following public comments by Anjorin concerning the family.

BBNaija Kess Says Big Brother Makes Life Harder

Published

on

Kesiena Tony Adjekpovu, popularly known as Kess, has said that participating in Big Brother Naija can make life harder, offering a candid reflection on the challenges that may come with the reality television experience.

The former Big Brother Naija housemate made the comment in a statement shared on social media, where he suggested that winning or simply taking part in the reality show does not necessarily make life easier after leaving the house.

“Big Brother makes your life harder,” Kess said.

The remark has drawn attention because life after reality television can bring a different set of expectations, particularly as former housemates adjust to increased public attention and the pressure that can accompany visibility.

Kess was a housemate on the seventh season of Big Brother Naija, which aired in 2022. He entered the show as a businessman and was among the contestants who competed for the season’s grand prize.

His time on the programme also placed him in the public eye, giving viewers an opportunity to follow his personality and relationships inside the house.

Kess’s latest comment offers a more reflective view of the reality TV platform, suggesting that the experience does not end when a contestant leaves the house.

However, he did not provide further details in the available post explaining which specific aspects of life after Big Brother he was referring to.
