During an interview with content creator Mr Lilgaga, Bakare proudly disclosed that she was the one who exposed her daughter to nightlife. “I took my daughter to the club for the first time at 17,” she said.

“And I like the fact that in her memoir, she would reference me as the person who introduced her to alcohol and clubbing.”

Her statement quickly went viral, with many Nigerians expressing outrage and accusing the actress of promoting irresponsible parenting.

One user, @It_hafizski, criticised her approach, writing, “Introducing a 17-year-old to alcohol and nightlife is reckless parenting, not cruise. At that age, guidance and discipline should come first, not clubbing.”

Another commenter, @DonMike_X, questioned her parenting style, asking, “And are you a good mother like that?”

While some of her fans defended her as being open-minded and progressive, the majority condemned her comments as tone-deaf and morally questionable.

Critics argue that celebrities like Bakare should serve as positive role models, especially for younger audiences who often emulate their lifestyles.
