Nigeria’s First Lady, Remi Tinubu, has sparked controversy after unveiling the #OneNigeriaUnityFabric, aimed at promoting national unity through fashion.
The initiative, inspired by her 2023 visit to Zimbabwe, features a design by Miss Bamidele Mofiyinfoluwa that showcases Nigeria’s diverse culture.

However, netizens have slammed the project, questioning its relevance amidst the country’s economic struggles. Critics argue that celebrating a unity fabric is misplaced when many Nigerians face hunger and hardship.
Scathing comments flooded social media, with some calling the initiative “Aso-ebi for the hungry” and accusing the First Lady of misprioritizing the nation’s needs. Others criticized the Tinubu administration’s handling of divisive politics and questioned the project’s potential to address deep-seated issues.
The backlash shows the growing discontent among Nigerians, who demand tangible solutions to the country’s challenges rather than symbolic gestures.
