Nigerian skitmaker Cute Abiola has sparked intense reactions online after sharing a detailed video documenting his wife’s childbirth surgery a move that has divided public opinion.
The video, which captures moments from before the procedure to after delivery, shows the emotional tension surrounding the birth, including the comedian praying and expressing fear for his wife’s safety while she was in surgery. Thankfully, the procedure was successful, and the couple welcomed a baby boy.
However, beyond the joy of the safe delivery, the decision to film and publish such a private medical experience has stirred widespread debate. Many social media users questioned the boundaries between personal life and content creation, arguing that moments like childbirth especially surgical procedures should remain private.
Critics accused the skitmaker of turning a deeply sensitive experience into content, with some suggesting that not every emotional or vulnerable moment should be monetised or shared publicly.
On the other hand, some supporters defended the move, describing the video as emotional, relatable, and even inspirational particularly for families who have gone through similar experiences. They viewed it as a raw reflection of love, fear, and resilience during childbirth.
The situation has now opened up a broader conversation about digital culture in Nigeria where the line between storytelling and oversharing continues to blur.
