Nigerian comedian AY Makun’s former wife, Mabel Makun, made headlines over a viral video of her trying to climb a bike, aka okada.
On March 2, 2025, social media was buzzing over reports of the heavy traffic in Lagos. Videos made the rounds showing several commuters stuck in traffic, which was caused by the closure of the Independence Bridge for maintenance.
While several commuters, including celebrities, were stuck on the road for many hours, some of them took steps to get to their destination, including Mabel Makun.

The mum of two took to her Instagram story to share a video of how she had to transport herself back home with a bike after attending a meeting. According to AY’s ex-wife, she was stuck in traffic for about five hours.
She wrote:
“Who asked me to go for this meeting today? The traffic in Lagos today is something else, on one spot for five hours.”
Mabel Makun then shared a video of her trying to get on a bike. The mum of two struggled to climb as the rider instructed her on what to do. She begged for him to lower her bike for her to hop on it, but the rider claimed he could not go any lower.
After what seemed like a long time, Mabel Makun was finally able to climb on the bike while the person recording her could not hold back their laughter. See the video below:
