April 14, (THEWILL) — Nigerian skitmaker Abdulgafar Abiola, popularly known as Cute Abiola, has come under criticism after sharing a video of his wife undergoing a Caesarean section during the birth of their second child. The couple welcomed their son on April 4.
The comedian posted clips of the delivery on April 13, 2026, on social media and later uploaded a longer version on YouTube.
The video showed moments before, during, and after the surgery, including hospital preparations and his emotional reaction outside the operating theatre.
He also revealed that his wife had undergone multiple surgeries in recent years, saying he was deeply worried for her safety during the procedure.
The post sparked mixed reactions online.
While some users praised him for documenting the experience, many others criticized the decision, saying it was inappropriate to share such a private moment.
Critics argued that childbirth, especially surgery, should remain private and questioned whether the content crossed ethical boundaries.
Despite the backlash, Cute Abiola said the experience was emotionally difficult, describing it as one of the hardest moments of his life watching his wife go through health struggles.
He thanked fans for their messages, prayers, and support, as well as those who shared similar childbirth and family experiences in the YouTube comments.
He said:
“I am glad this story motivated someone out there who might be going through a difficult time. Life is not always perfect but sometimes sharing our struggles gives hope to people.”
He also highlighted the strength of women, writing:
“After everything I witnessed, after the strength, patience, and courage I saw… Never ask any woman what she brings to the table. Some women don’t just bring something to the table… They ARE the TABLE. Thank you for the love.”
Despite criticism, some supporters defended his decision, saying the video highlighted the emotional strain and challenges of childbirth for families.
The incident has sparked a broader conversation online about privacy, consent, and the boundaries of sharing deeply personal and medical experiences on social media.
