Veteran Nigerian comedian Otaghware Otas Onodjayeke, widely known as IGoSave, has criticised the silence of Nigeria’s First Ladies following the reported abduction of schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State.
The comedian expressed concern over the worsening insecurity in the country, questioning why prominent female leaders have not publicly addressed 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 quiet 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 true mothers? How do you all sleep at night knowing these innocent kids are still in captivity and being dehumanised?”
In another post, he accused their silence of sending the wrong message and urged them to take action toward securing the release of the victims.
He added:
“Your behaviours are making the devil look like a good man. Speak up, act and get those kids out now 💔💔”
The comedian further intensified his criticism, referring to the First Ladies as “Nigeria Toothless Lionesses,” and insisting they must break their silence over the matter.
“Nigeria Toothless Lionesses, why are y’all silent? Speak up for these innocent kids 💔💔”
His comments have since sparked widespread reactions online, with many Nigerians debating the role of political spouses in addressing national security issues. Some users also drew comparisons between current First Lady Oluremi Tinubu and former First Lady Patience Jonathan.
