He actually behaved like a mannerless child- Lady Blames Late Omije Ojumi for Son’s Emotional Outburst at Burial

• A Nigerian woman has sparked controversy after blaming late gospel singer Omije Ojumi for her son’s emotional outburst at her burial, drawing mixed reactions online over her comments.
• In her post, she questioned why the children appeared temperamental, stating that her own children had been trained with humility, good character, and emotional restraint

A Nigerian woman, Hakeemah Folakemi Muhammahed, has stirred fresh reactions online after commenting on the viral burial video of late gospel singer, Bunmi Akinaanu, popularly known as Omije Ojumi.

Omije Ojumi’s burial, which took place in Lagos on January 29, 2026, was marked by emotional and tense moments involving her children. One particular clip that went viral showed her son openly rejecting his father, Rotimi William Adeoye, during the ceremony an incident that left many viewers shocked.

While some Nigerians expressed sympathy for the children, attributing the boy’s actions to grief and emotional trauma, others criticised his conduct, describing it as excessive and disrespectful.

Reacting to the incident on her Facebook page, Hakeemah blamed the late singer for what she described as poor upbringing. She suggested that the boy’s aggressive behaviour reflected how he was raised and accused him of acting out to distance himself from his father’s family.

In her post, she questioned why the children appeared temperamental, stating that her own children had been trained with humility, good character, and emotional restraint. She added that her children could never behave in such a manner, whether in public or private, before ending her statement with prayers for Omije Ojumi’s soul to rest in peace.

She wrote: “I wonder why Bunmi (Omije Ojumi) would train her children to be so aggressive and temperamental.
People are now using her son as sticker
He actually behaved like a mannerless child simply because he wanted to prove that he is not part of his father’s family.
Am I the only one seeing it this way?
I thank God that I have been able to train my children with good character, humility and humbleness.
They can never behave like m@d dog whether outside or even at home.
They are quite reserved.
May her soul rest in peace”

Her post quickly gained attention, with some agreeing with her view, while others accused her of being insensitive to a grieving child.
