Nigerians Contrast Teni’s Worship Of Controversial Socialite To Her ‘Disrespect’ Of Buhari (Video)

Nigerian singer Teni has found herself at the center of a heated debate after a video surfaced showing her prostrating before socialite IBD Dende on a flight.

The gesture, which many interpreted as a sign of respect and admiration, has sparked a backlash from some Nigerians who accused Teni of “disrespecting” former President Muhammadu Buhari in October 2022 when he conferred her with the national honor of Member of the Niger, MON.

The controversy began when Teni shared a video on Twitter of her meeting with IBD Dende, captioning it “He has dropped” and promising to share an update once she disembarked from the flight.

However, some eagle-eyed users quickly pointed out the perceived double standard, recalling an incident where Teni allegedly failed to show similar respect to President Buhari during a meeting.

The comparison sparked a wave of criticism, with some Nigerians calling out Teni for her perceived hypocrisy. While others defended the singer, arguing that she has the right to show respect to whoever she chooses, the incident has reignited conversations about cultural norms, respect, and power dynamics in Nigeria.
