Skitmaker Cute Abiola films wife’s delivery surgery, sparks outrage

Nigerian skitmaker and influencer Cute Abiola has ignited a firestorm of controversy with his decision to film and broadcast his wife's childbirth surgery. The hour-long video, uploaded to YouTube, captures the intimate and often harrowing journey from pre-surgery preparations to the post-delivery recovery, including deeply emotional prayers offered by Abiola for his wife's well-being.

“

So my wife is in the theatre already… I beg you God, please. I wish my wife safe delivery. I wish she comes out well. There should be no complications.

The footage reveals the emotional toll on the couple, with Abiola admitting to being overwhelmed and crying during the procedure, especially as it was his wife's third surgery in four years. He narrated the tense atmosphere, even playing Quranic recitations to calm nerves, before relief washed over him with the announcement of a healthy baby boy's arrival.

“

I was shaking already. I could not hold it anymore. I was just crying… Allah.

However, the successful outcome has been overshadowed by widespread criticism from social media users. Many have accused the comedian of exploiting a deeply personal and sensitive medical experience for views and potential monetization. Questions have been raised about the ethics of recording such an intimate event and sharing it publicly, with some users calling out the trend of monetizing personal struggles and private moments.

We deliver a bouncing baby boy… Glory be to God. Alhamdulillah.
