Popular Nollywood actress Wumi Toriola has shared a heartwarming yet comical Christmas moment with her young son that has delighted her fans online. The incident, which occurred on Christmas Eve, involved her six-year-old son, Zion, presenting her with an unexpected and humorous gift.
An Adorable Christmas Surprise Goes Hilariously Wrong
On December 24, the award-winning actress posted a short clip on her official Instagram page capturing a special mother-son interaction. In the video, Zion approaches his mother with two gift bags, adorably asking if she had ordered a package. The scene was set for a touching Christmas gesture.
However, the mood took a funny turn when Wumi Toriola opened the bags. Instead of a new present, the contents were used packs, leather containers, and gift bags. Visibly stunned by the recycled gift, the actress playfully jabbed at her son with a light-hearted insult, exclaiming, "Your father is the owner of all this rubbish."
Zion's Unique Nickname for His Mom Steals the Show
Another highlight that caught the attention of viewers was how Zion referred to his famous mother. The young boy did not call her "mom" but instead used the acronym 'WT', which stands for Wumi Toriola. This casual and modern nickname added an extra layer of charm and humor to the already viral moment.
The video quickly spread across social media, drawing a wave of reactions from fans and followers who found the exchange both adorable and incredibly funny. It showcased the genuine and relatable dynamic between the single mother and her son.
Nigerian Fans React with Laughter and Proverbs
The online community was swift to react, filling the comment section with laughter and witty remarks. Many used the opportunity to reference popular Nigerian sayings and share their amusement at Zion's clever antics.
One fan, @debbie_shokoya, humorously questioned, "Lion no dey born goat? Look Zion well well…Na yourself you Dey see so??" This proverb implies that a child often takes after their parent, suggesting Zion's playful trickery is a trait inherited from his mother.
Another user, @ardeykunbi, teased, "Except no be WT born you ni?????. Don't worry Zion jare. You are walking in the right path jare." Other comments joked about the nature of the gift and Zion's evolution from calling his mother "Queen Lateefah"—a character she played—to the more casual "WT."
This moment underscores the pride Wumi Toriola consistently shows in her son. She has often publicly celebrated him and defended her family against online trolls, including those who have criticized her status as a single mother since her marriage ended in 2018.
The heartwarming and funny clip stands as a testament to their close bond and the unpredictable joy of family moments during the holiday season.
