Nigerian social media is abuzz with reactions as netizens criticize Remi Tinubu, the wife of Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu, for her comments against the Met Gala. The backlash intensified when users pulled up racy pictures of her daughter, highlighting perceived hypocrisy.

Remi Tinubu recently made headlines when she publicly criticized the Met Gala, an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City.

The event is known for its extravagant fashion and celebrity attendance, which Tinubu condemned as promoting indecency and excessive opulence.

However, Tinubu’s comments sparked outrage on social media, where users quickly pointed out what they saw as a double standard. Many netizens shared provocative photos of her daughter, noting the contrast between her critique of the Met Gala and her own family’s public image.

The photos, which show Tinubu's daughter in revealing outfits, were circulated widely, with users questioning Tinubu’s stance on modesty and decency.

"Remi whose daughter is this? Can you look at yourself in the mirror for once?" one Twitter user commented.

Another added, "This is your daughter ma. Teach your daughter before you teach other people's daughters."

Another user said, "Throwing stone when you live in a glass house, see her daughter lmaoo"

The controversy has sparked a broader discussion about public figures, their statements, and the scrutiny they and their families face. Critics argue that leaders and their families should exemplify the values they promote, while supporters claim that personal attacks on family members are unfair and detract from the core issues.
