Nollywood actress Yetunde Barnabas has fired back at online trolls who criticised her for using a stroller for her 3-year-old daughter while in Europe.
Days ago, the Yoruba movie star and producer who is married to footballer, Peter Olayinka shared a photo of herself and her daughter, who was seated in a stroller.
This photo triggered mixed reactions from netizens, with many expressing shock on how Gemma who clocked 3 on July 26 is too grown to be in a stroller.
Reacting to the backlash moments ago in a series of fiery Instagram posts, the actress expressed her anger at what she described as shameless and unsolicited parenting advice from strangers. She wrote:
“You fools bullying a 3-year-old on why she still uses a stroller are really shameless. I am not that gentle when it comes to my child o, I will rubbish you.”
Yetunde explained that during shopping trips in Europe that can last over three hours, a stroller is the most practical way to move around with her toddler. She blasted critics for making “dirty comments” from “their dirty houses” and warned that anyone dropping condescending remarks on her page would be blocked. She fumed:
“Im so pissed off, y’all will just sit in your dirty houses and think you can type rubbish on everybody’s page, I will block you off.”
When you travel with your own child, carry them on your head since poverty has eaten you deep… When is it a crime for a toddler to use a stroller?.”
Fellow Nollywood star Toyin Abraham quickly came to her defence in the comments, condemning online bullying and urging Yetunde to block the offenders.
“Asin this bully thing has eaten them up, awon werey aladanu. Block them off awon oloriburuku. I hate bullies.” Toyin wrote, calling the trolls derogatory names in Yoruba.
