A shocking video making the rounds on social media has left many Nigerians talking. In the clip, a mother reportedly caught her own daughter lodging in the same hotel she normally visits with her secret lover. Instead of calming down, the angry mother assaulted her daughter, dragging her out while shouting at her for copying a lifestyle she claimed she never taught her. The incident has gone viral with the caption “Like mother, like daughter.”………
The exact location and time of the incident are not clearly stated in the circulating video, but it appears to be in Nigeria, with the mother speaking Yoruba. Many believe it happened in one of the big cities in the South West. The video shows the mother furiously pulling her daughter out of the hotel. The young lady looks embarrassed as people watch the drama. The mother was heard scolding her harshly, saying things like the girl should not follow her bad ways.This story has raised many questions. How did the mother know the hotel? Why was she there herself? Social media users are having a field day with the irony of the situation. The video is being shared widely with comments like “Like mother like daughter” and “The pot is calling the kettle black.”
Reactions on X (Twitter) and other platforms have been massive. One user wrote, “This is pure hypocrisy. Mama dey do am, but pikin no fit do am? Na the same hotel!” Another commented, “The mother is an enemy of progress. She dey enjoy but no want her daughter to enjoy. Wicked!”
Some people pitied the daughter. A comment read: “This girl go carry trauma for life. Imagine your own mother disgracing you like this in public because she caught you doing what she does.” Others laughed it off: “Things dey sup for Naija! Mother and daughter dey use the same hotel for runs. Na family business
Many Nigerians used the opportunity to talk about parenting and double standards. “Teach your children what you want them to learn by your own actions,” one person advised. Another said, “This is why communication is important in families. If the mother was living right, maybe the daughter would not follow that path.”
Some defended the mother, saying she has the right to correct her child. “Even if mama dey do am, she no want her daughter to spoil her life like that,” a user commented. But most reactions condemned the public assault and shaming.
