Reality TV star, Cross Okonkwo, has berated Nigeria’s first lady, Aisha Buhari, over a social media post celebrating her daughter-in-law’s graduation from a UK university.
Aisha Buhari had taken to her Instagram page to celebrate her daughter-in-law, who graduated with first class honours in Architectural Science from Coventry University, United Kingdom.
The first lady posted a photo of herself, her son, Yusuf, and his wife, Zahra, and captioned it, �
Aisha’s post, however, didn’t sit well with a number of Nigerians who tagged it as insensitive.
Former Big Brother Naija season 6 housemate, Cross, also took to his Twitter handle to lampoon the wife of the president for the post.

It’s not kool and it’s very sad to me. All the children in Nigeria should be celebrated like the way you celebrate your daughter. I’m lucky cuz my mum did her best to send me to skool. What about those that don’t have mothers. You are to be their mother .Mother of the nation”. He wrote.
