The user stated: "I'm a fan of Aunty Toyin Abraham but this her unnecessary kneeling down and greeting is becoming too much and looking like an eye service now. It's ok to respect elders and cultures but those women she keep kneeling for are not so older than her. Aunty Toyin, you need to start packaging yourself now. That's why they keep disrespecting you. They are not more than you, they are not bigger than you. Stop belittling yourself for them. We Nigerians have forgiven you for supporting City Boy in 2023. It's time you forgive yourself too and carry yourself with pride and grace cos you work hard for it and you deserve the respect that comes with it. I don't mean any disrespect and I love you."
