Reactions to Aisha Lawal’s Move
The netizen who shared the clip on X did not hold back, writing:
“I’m sorry, but this is weird to me 😭😂. Why would Aishat Lawal bring her child to a public birthday party where you know pictures and videos will be taken, then spend the whole time covering her face? 😩. If you don’t want people to see her, why bring her out?🤷♀️”
The post drew widespread engagement, with opinions split between those who found her behaviour contradictory and others who argued that a parent’s desire to protect their child’s privacy is entirely valid, regardless of the setting.
