The founder of Diary of a Naija Girl has addressed the controversy surrounding her recent appearance, making it clear that she refuses to bow to pressure or public expectations.
Taking to social media, the entrepreneur boldly declared:
“I said what I said. I didn’t kneel. I do not kneel. Anyone who chooses to kneel is free to, and I genuinely respect their choice.”
Her statement comes after online debates questioned why she did not kneel during a recent event — a gesture often viewed in some circles as symbolic or culturally significant.
Doubling down, she emphasized that her brand and life have always been guided by personal conviction, not trends or applause.
“I started Diary of a Naija Girl in November 2015 and one thing has remained constant: I live according to my convictions. Not trends. Not pressure. Not applause.”
She further expressed gratitude for the life she has built, describing it as peaceful and successful, adding that her values have given her a home where she is “fully herself and fully loved.”
The post has since sparked mixed reactions online. While some applauded her for standing firm in her beliefs, others argued that certain traditions should not be dismissed lightly.
Regardless of the divide, one thing is clear — she’s choosing to stand, not kneel, and she’s unapologetic about it.
