Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa has responded to a netizen who accused her of being performative over her daughter.
On her Snapchat page, the netizen questioned whether there was a particular reason she was only showing her daughter’s legs, arms, and back.
He noted how, though it is her child, he believes she was displaying performative privacy. According to him, Toke should keep her daughter private all the way and keep her entirely out of social media.
The netizen said, showing bits and bobs of her presents as attention-seeking, wrapped in the guise of privacy.
“Is there a particular reason why you show Yaya’s legs, arms, and back view? I mean, it’s your page, your kids and all, but I term this performative privacy. If you wanna be private, be private all the way and keep her entirely out of the media. Not like hiding her, but keeping away from the media entirely. Showing bits and bobs of her presents as attention-seeking, wrapped in a ‘keeping it private’ delusion. I respect you and everything you do, but this keeps going over my head.
I guess not my circus, not my money, though.
Happy Sunday”.
Responding to him, Toke admonished the netizen to do what works for him. She said the long epistle over a child’s identity is bizarre.
“Exactly, not your circus, boo! Do whatever works for you, and it’s my page and not yours. This long epistle over a child’s identity that is not yours is so bizarre.
Get help”.
