Controversy erupted online as popular media personality Lege Miami took to social media to call out Nigerians for allegedly ignoring President Bola Tinubu’s 74th birthday celebrations.
In a post that has since gone viral, Lege Miami asked, “Na my papa?”—a rhetorical jab at those who didn’t acknowledge the milestone, igniting heated debate across Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
The backlash was swift. Critics accused him of exaggerating the importance of the president’s birthday and attempting to shame citizens for their apathy, while supporters defended his stance, arguing that national leaders deserve recognition.
“People are overreacting,” one supporter wrote. “Acknowledging the president is about respect, not politics.” Others, however, slammed the post as tone-deaf, saying it trivialized pressing national issues that Nigerians face daily.
As the debate rages on, the hashtag #NaMyPapa has started trending, with memes, reactions, and fiery opinions flooding timelines. Whether seen as humor, criticism, or controversy, Lege Miami’s comments have undeniably stirred a storm that shows no signs of dying down anytime soon.
