Women For Seyi Tinubu Make Bold Declarations (Video)

A public scene involving a group of women offering prayers and praise to Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, has triggered widespread debate among Nigerians, with many questioning the intentions behind the gesture and the state of the country’s political culture.

The women, who gathered around Seyi Tinubu in a public space, offered intense prayers, thanked God for his life and declared hope that he would “change Nigeria.” A clip of the encounter, now circulating on social media, shows the women repeatedly shouting “amen” while displaying a large portrait of him and holding symbolic gifts.

In the footage, one woman led the supplication, saying he had come “to bring the glory of Nigeria,” while another voice described Seyi himself as “the best president so far.” He stood quietly, smiling occasionally as the crowd expressed admiration and affection.

The moment has since drawn significant online commentary, with many users expressing discomfort and others defending expressions of hope in leadership.

Reacting, BigSam (@0xidan) wrote that Seyi appeared equally stunned, saying “he no believe wetin he dey hear.”

Another user, ISIP (@001Xtasy), took a more measured tone: “This shows people crave transformation. But beyond prayers, Nigerians need jobs, stable power and a fair economy.”

For others, the display highlighted economic hardship. iOccupyNigeria (@iOccupyNigeria) argued that such gatherings are driven by survival, saying it is “hunger, not loyalty” pushing people to praise political figures.

Commentator THE.CRAFTER (@Fillipo_Saga) linked it to illiteracy, while Dr. Leonix (@LOmoarelojie) suggested those present were motivated by expectations of financial reward, warning, “May we not lose our dignity because of poverty.”

Some responses were more blunt. Anita (@_anitaebube1) described the scene as “wild,” claiming Nigerians often defend leaders who “don’t have the people’s best interests at heart.” Ben Samuel (@flourish007) added, “Poverty will always force victims to worship their tormentors.”

Lord Vinci (@LordVinci21) made light of the situation, saying such praise could be over a small gift, while Jesuisdave (@PeytonDarasimi) joked that Seyi’s expression suggested disbelief at the flattery.

Others redirected criticism at the public. THE ODD THINKERS (@the_oddmind) argued that constant praise prevents leaders from recognising hardship, writing, “How would they know there is hunger in the land when you praise them?”

Samlech (@Samlech77) offered a more humorous take, calling the woman’s prayer “1000-level intensity” and describing the moment as “Seyi as Nigeria’s glow-up ambassador.”

Blessed_sinner (@Aynoniii) teased that attention could change fortunes if Nigeria ever “reaches Tanzania level,” while semi-serious political questions also emerged. FindingSolace (@lifeinsolace) asked, “Is he going to run for president straight away?”

Money Maker (@MoneyMakerMH1) described the moment as symbolic of a deeper societal issue, posting: “Poverty isn’t just of the pocket but of the mind… A poor nation celebrates crumbs.”

Many others simply noted that even Seyi Tinubu appeared surprised, with multiple commenters stating that “he no believe them.”

The incident continues to stir conversation about worship-like support for political families, economic hardship, and public expectations for leadership in Nigeria, particularly at a time many citizens are grappling with rising living costs.
