Popular content creator and comic star Abdulgafar Ahmad Abiola, widely known as Cute Abiola, has sparked deep conversations across the internet after issuing a formal public apology to Nigeria’s former First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan.
The heartfelt apology centers on the heavy public mockery that trailed her emotional reaction to the tragic 2014 abduction of the Chibok schoolgirls, which produced the viral “there is God o” phrase.
Reflecting on the incident via his social media handles on Monday, June 1, 2026, the skit maker admitted that the internet community, including content creators, crossed a line by turning a mother’s genuine heartbreak into an ongoing punchline.
He emphasized that her tears were not a sign of weakness but rather a raw, deeply human manifestation of grief and maternal concern during one of the darkest chapters in modern Nigerian history.
Cute Abiola stated that the country owes her an apology for trivializing her pain, urging his followers to view the historical moment with sober maturity rather than comedic relief.
The comedian’s unexpected statement arrives at a sensitive time, as the country grapples with fresh security concerns following the recent abduction of schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State.
This parallel has reignited discussions across Nigerian digital spaces regarding how public figures express grief during national emergencies, with many commentators applauding the content creator for using his massive platform to right a long-standing cultural wrong.
