Folashade Tinubu-Ojo arriving at the party
Netizens have been reacting to a viral video showing Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, the Iyaloja General of Lagos and daughter of President Bola Tinubu, being introduced at a Nasarawa wedding and hailed as the “Queen of Nigeria.”
In the trending video, Tinubu-Ojo attended the wedding of Hafsah Azare and Abubakar Dandanku, and the host introduced the Iyaloja General as the ‘Queen of Nigeria.’
“We have the most special guest of honour—a role model, the first daughter of the federation, the Iyaloja General of Lagos. Queen mama, the most beautiful queen of Nigeria,” the host declared.
Some Instagram users expressed contrasting opinions concerning the accolade.
An Instagram user, ajanioluwole7 wrote, “Iyaloja is doing her own on one side, Seyi is doing his own in another side Nigeria belong to them abi ? “

“Bad bele. Who cares what or whoherself as. General, bishop, queen, process, investor of Nigeria, who cares. Her being the daughter of the president already gives her a special grace, you can hug transformer all you want. Obi was introduced as the winner of the last election in Nigeria in the US by a group and she acknowledged it after the supreme court ruling…heaven did not fall. So, allow our princess to relish her God given grace,” wole_adebiyi added.
