Cute Abiola Shares Wife’s Delivery Surgery Sparks Outrage

Popular Nigerian skit maker Cute Abiola has come under heavy fire after sharing a detailed video of his wife’s childbirth surgery on social media and YouTube.

The over-one-hour documentary, titled “How My Wife Survived Her Third Surgery In Four Years,” captures raw moments from pre-surgery anxiety to post-delivery recovery following a Caesarean section. Abiola described the experience as one filled with fear, sleepless nights, prayers and unwavering faith, noting it marked his wife’s third major surgery in just four years.

NaijaChoice News monitored the backlash that erupted almost immediately after the video dropped on April 13. Many Nigerians accused the content creator of turning a deeply private medical moment into fodder for engagement and possible monetisation.

Critics argued that not every family milestone belongs on the internet, especially sensitive hospital procedures involving a partner. Some questioned the hospital’s decision to allow filming inside the theatre, insisting medical facilities must enforce stricter privacy rules.

Others went harder, claiming Abiola placed content creation above his wife’s dignity and safety. A section of netizens suggested the skit maker approached the entire situation with a “content-first” mindset, prioritising views over the emotional weight of the moment.

In his own post accompanying the video, Abiola pushed back against the criticism. He wrote: “This video is more than just a documentation… it is a journey of fear, faith, pain, strength, and love. Watching my wife prepare for her third surgery in 4 years was one of the hardest moments of my life… But God showed up. God came through. God preserved her life.” He urged followers to watch and say a prayer for his wife.

Not all reactions were negative. Supporters praised the video as an honest testimony and a celebration of resilience, pointing out that Abiola and his wife, Khudrah Mosunmola, had already welcomed their second child after the procedure. They described it as a real, unfiltered look at the struggles many Nigerian families face but rarely share publicly.

The controversy has once again thrown the spotlight on Nigeria’s booming content creation industry. With skit makers and influencers increasingly opening their private lives to millions of followers, questions about consent, boundaries and the pressure to stay relevant continue to divide public opinion.

As the debate rages on social media platforms, Abiola’s video has already racked up significant views, proving once more how personal stories can spark both empathy and outrage in equal measure.
