Reactions trail Taaooma’s skit
Amid the funny comments from her fans, including celebrities, some netizens on X, formerly Twitter, however, berated Taaooma’s content.
Some stated that there should have been consequences for Taaooma’s character for disrespecting a king while suggesting that it could led to people being rude to traditional rulers.
TheTalk.NG captured some of the reactions that trailed the video, read them below:
“_Taaooma The skit is sweet but doesn’t speak well of our tribe.. Demoting OBA heritage for a comedy content can’t be justify, it’s wrong and bad.”
“@_Taaooma When u make comedy content, let’s try and complete the skit with things like, Quadri got discipline for disrespecting the king. Like sabinus always end with him crying :sob:. I don’t know much about Yoruba but I know for a fact, disrespecting their king has serious consequences.”
“_Taaooma Fantastic comedy & a great skit. However, there should be consequences for Quadri’s actions culturally. You can’t be this disrespectful to the king & not face the wrath. It’s a comedy that conveys a message. Kindly complete the skit to preserve cultural values. @_Taaooma.”

“Gen Z… What’s the takeaway? Insults and disrespect. Under the guise of comedy, he indirectly derides the king’s throne..”
rotilaw:
“As an adult, there are a few occasions when you are unfortunate and encounter serious insults. You will be at a complete loss for words. If you are lucky and the audience is sparse, just disappear from there and pretend it never happened.”

“Dear @realfemiadebayo I believe it is wrong to turn Oriade into a clown or an object of skits. Let’s respect the thrown of our traditional rulers. We should not turn their office into jokes. If we would not approve disrespecting imams, Sultans/Emirates, etc.”
Taaooma recalls experience with traffic offender
TheTalk.NG also recalls reporting that Taaooma recalled an experience she had with a traffic offender.
She used her experience to buttress the ill-treatment women face in society over their gender.
The mum of one also expressed her displeasure, eliciting a wide range of reactions within and beyond the feminist community.
