A female guest's outfit at Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo's grandson's first birthday party in Lagos has sparked widespread outrage on social media, with netizens describing the attire as inappropriate for a child's cowboy-themed celebration.
The controversy erupted on Saturday, August 29, 2026, after Ojo shared footage from the birthday party on her Instagram page. While the event had earlier drawn attention for the adorable outfits worn by Mohbad's widow Wunmi's son Liam, a clip featuring one guest's ensemble quickly became the dominant topic in the comments section.
Reactions to the Outfit Choice
Social media users were quick to flag the woman's attire as entirely out of place for a toddler's birthday gathering, with many questioning her judgment in dressing for the occasion. The clip circulated widely, drawing sharp and humorous criticism from followers who felt the look was far too revealing or grown-up for a first birthday party.
Comments on the post ranged from disbelief to outright condemnation. One user, @d_real_dem, commented: "For small pikin birthday." Another, @oyintimo1, wrote: "God abeg o, just for 1year birthday, if na 10years birthday nko???"
Mixed Opinions Emerge
While most reactions leaned toward criticism, a few voices pushed back, arguing that people are too quick to police what others wear. @itzseteminire_ offered a different perspective: "Some of you don't understand that different occasions call for different outfits. Not every outfit is meant for every occasion."
@dhayourcrem3 was blunt in their assessment: "This is all shades of wrong." The debate, however, has done little to slow down the spread of the clip across platforms.
Mercy Aigbe Attends the Party
In a related development, actress Mercy Aigbe showed support for her colleague Iyabo Ojo during the grandson's party. Aigbe took to social media to share pictures of her outfit for the event, which also captured attention, with many, including celebrities, gushing over her look.
The incident has reignited discussions about appropriate dressing for family events, particularly those involving young children, as the clip continues to generate reactions across social media platforms.
