Popular Nigerian Fashion entrepreneur Toyin Lawani, the founder of Tiannah’s Empire, has caused a stir on social media. She is getting tongues wagging for the dressing of her three-year-old daughter, Eleora, as a “BBL mummy makeover” for Halloween. While many people appreciated the creativity behind such an eye-catching outfit, others felt that dressing a child in such a way was inappropriate.
Following the backlash, Toyin has taken to social media to defend her actions as part of a well-loved Halloween tradition. She said she finds the predictable criticisms humorous, adding that she creates memorable experiences for her children and doesn’t allow judgment from others to cloud her decisions in any way.
Of course, there were mixed reactions to the video, but several fans sided with Toyin on this issue, commending her ingenuity in such a funny memory of the kids. Indeed, in her own way, Toyin showed that family traditions are as varied as the people making them up, in her words, “it’s all about having fun and making memories”.
