A tense and emotional scene unfolded in a Nigerian community when a lady openly confronted an elderly woman she accused of deliberately spoiling her name and damaging her reputation within the neighbourhood.

In the now-viral video, the visibly upset young lady could be seen angrily addressing the older woman in public, accusing her of repeatedly speaking badly about her to other people in the area.
According to the young woman, the alleged actions of the elderly woman had affected her peace of mind and how others in the community viewed her, prompting her to finally speak out.
She shouted in frustration:
“If you pass my shop why you dey always talk rubbish about me? You get person like me as pikin, you no dey pray make I make am for this world? If your pikin do business you no go pray make your pikin grow? Why? Abi you no know say I dey hear Yoruba?”
As emotions rose, the lady went further to issue a strong warning, telling the woman that she would not tolerate the situation any longer, saying:
“Today is D-day minus one. I’ll beat you!”
The heated exchange quickly drew attention from passers-by, as members of the community watched the confrontation unfold with concern and shock.
The incident has since generated widespread reactions online, with many Nigerians expressing varying opinions about respect for elders, personal boundaries, and the dangers of confronting elders publicly.
Social media reactions
Social media users have since taken to comment sections to share their thoughts, with some siding with the young woman while others condemned her approach.

@blo_sept added: “It could be true because some of these elderly women cross the line too often.”
@SallyOzioma said: “This is so wrong of the young girl. I’m already scared on her behalf. Some battles are fought with tact and wisdom.”
@Shiller121 commented: “If you don’t respect yourself as an adult, expect to be insulted or ridiculed.”
