Veteran Nigerian comedian, Otaghware Otas Onodjayeke, popularly known as IGoSave, has criticized the silence of the Nigerian First Ladies following reports of the kidnapping of schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State.
The comedian expressed her concern over the worsening insecurity in the country, questioning why prominent female leaders did not speak publicly about the incident.
In a post shared via his Instagram story on May 31, 2026, IGoSave challenged the First Ladies, describing them as mothers whose silence, according to him, raises moral concerns.
He questioned how they could remain silent while the abducted children were still in captivity, calling for stronger public advocacy and intervention.
He wrote:
“Where are all the first ladies in this country? Are you people real mothers? How do you sleep at night knowing these innocent children are still being held captive and dehumanized?”
In another post, he accused their silence of sending the wrong message and urged them to take action to secure the release of the victims.
He added:
“Your behavior makes the devil look like a good man. Speak, act and get these kids out now 💔💔“
The comedian further intensified his criticism, referring to the First Ladies as “Nigerian toothless lionesses”, and insisting that they must break their silence on the matter.
“Nigerian toothless lionesses, why are you silent? Speak for these innocent children 💔💔“
His comments have since sparked widespread reactions online, with many Nigerians debating the role of political spouses in addressing national security issues. Some users have also drawn comparisons between the current First Lady Oluremi Tinubu and former First Lady Patience Jonathan.
