Popular Nigerian skit maker and actor Victor Nwaogbu, better known as Nkubi, has become a trending topic on Facebook after a controversial post involving his daughter sparked widespread outrage.
The Offensive Post
A Facebook user named Chinonso Favour stirred public anger after uploading a photo of Nkubi’s daughter with the caption “Main Labubu” — a reference many found to be mocking and insensitive. The term “Labubu,” often associated with eerie cartoon figures or troll-like dolls, was widely condemned as an inappropriate comparison to a child.
Backlash and Legal Calls
The post immediately went viral, with thousands criticizing Favour’s behavior and calling on Nkubi and his wife to take legal action. The online community described the comment as cruel, unnecessary, and dehumanizing to a child.
“Imagine calling someone’s beautiful daughter Labubu… some people dey crazy, I swear,” one commenter wrote.
Public Apologies and More Controversy
Facing mounting backlash, Chinonso Favour released two separate apology videos. In her defense, she claimed she didn’t know who Nkubi or his daughter was and had simply reposted an image she saw elsewhere. Despite her pleas for forgiveness, the apology has done little to quell the outrage.
A video of her tearful apology has been widely circulated online, reigniting conversations around cyberbullying, responsible social media use, and the limits of online “trends.”
Social Media Reacts
Here are some notable reactions:
- @Ann Ijeoma Uc: “Ordinary teddy bear don dey reign. Leave people’s children out of this nonsense trend.”
- @Maryjane Chidozie: “Imagine calling someone’s daughter Labubu. Some people dey crazy I swear.”
- @Adajeso Ndu: “This is evil. No matter how a child looks, they deserve love. They’re innocent.”
- @Ify Jennifer Uwakwe: “And I’m sure she’s not even a mother yet. She doesn’t know what she’ll give birth to.”
- @Goody baby TV: “Nkubi, teach her a lesson. People need to learn — this bullying is getting too much.”
The incident has once again raised serious questions about social media ethics and the impact of viral content on real people — especially children. Many hope this serves as a wake-up call for accountability onlin
