Some Nigerians are furious with popular Nollywood actress, Laide Bakare, and are dragging her on social media like an ‘I better pass my neighbour’ generator.
The backlash erupted after the actress revealed in a recent interview that she introduced her daughter to clubbing and alcohol at the age of 17; a confession that left many shocked and angry.
The actress said; “I took my daughter to the club for the first time at 17. And I like the fact that in her memoir, she would reference me as the person who introduced her to alcohol and clubbing.”
Expectedly, her statement has sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many Nigerians condemning her actions as irresponsible and a poor example of parenting.
Here are some of the reactions we gathered from X (formerly Twitter):

DamiTheOG said: “Many of those you admire are often poor role models as parents.”
It_hafizski wrote: “Introducing a 17-year-old to alcohol and nightlife is reckless parenting, not cruise. At that age, guidance and discipline should come first, not clubbing.”
Just_2undey wrote: “Some of these people are not worth the pedestal the people place them on. All these coming from someone that calls herself a mother.”
