“U named ur daughter after a woman who colonized your country stole from ur land and enslaved ur ppl???? OKAY,” the fan wrote.
Reacting to the fan, Caroline defended her choice, pointing out how it is the same way people still name their kids after those who sold Nigeria out of greed.
She said, “My choice…. same way people named their kids after those that sold Nigeria out of greed”.
The proud mum further shared a video where she celebrated her daughter’s new achievement after the little girl emerged as the class captain of her class.
“Congratulations to the latest class captain in Lagos…my responsible baby girl Elizabeth. The Lord is good,” Calorine wrote.
