Minister for Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, has criticized a young lady for allegedly exploiting her mother's mental illness for personal gain and social media content.
In a statement released on social media on the afternoon of August 25, the Minister expressed her disapproval of the situation, highlighting concerns over the growing trend of using sensitive family issues for online attention.
She emphasized the importance of maintaining the dignity and privacy of individuals dealing with mental health challenges and called for a more responsible approach to handling such matters publicly.
“URGENT CONDEMNATION AND CALL TO ACTION”
We condemn the disturbing Video report of a woman’s mental illness being exploited by her daughter for personal gain and social media content. This is unacceptable, potentially harmful, and troubling.
We strongly condemn exploiting vulnerable individuals, especially those struggling with mental health issues. Mental illness demands compassion, understanding, and support – not ridicule or exploitation.
The Federal Ministry of Women Affairs urgently request information about the mother’s identity and condition to ensure proper care and protection. A reward is offered for prompt location assistance.
Appropriate actions must be taken to address this situation. We call on everyone to respect the dignity and humanity of those facing mental health issues and report similar instances immediately.
Let’s work together to prevent exploitation and support those who need it most.”

The daughter is obviously poor and would need some money. The mother would also benefit from the money raised. Where were you ma before the case was brought to the public. In what manner did you render assistance? Let’s even imagine she is €xploiting her mother no be her mama again? This is an
€mbara$$ing failure on behalf of the government and the daughter shouldn’t take the fall for it.
Furthermore, I believe she passed a wonderful message about honoring your parents no matter their condition across to us all. Let’s commend her not this one we are typing.
