A video has emerged showing a group of market women dancing and singing Yoruba gospel songs to celebrate the birth of triplets to Nollywood actors Lateef Adedimeji and Adebimpe Oyebade. The women, seen holding a crate of soft drinks, were filmed in what appears to be a market in Nigeria's South-West region. "Thank God on behalf of Bimpe, Lateef wife," one woman said during the celebration. The footage has circulated widely online, drawing attention to the public joy surrounding the couple's new babies.
The couple announced the arrival of their triplet sons earlier, receiving numerous congratulatory messages from fans and colleagues. Adedimeji described the children as his world, responsibility, and legacy in an Instagram post. Oyebade reacted to the viral video on her Instagram story on Sunday, urging that the celebrating women be found so they can attend a planned party. She wrote, "Find them for me! They need to attend our party."
The birth follows years of public attention and online discussions about the couple's journey to parenthood after their 2021 wedding.
Mo Bimpe calls for market women to be found after their spontaneous celebration, yet the same public attention that once scrutinised her childless years now praises her joy. The shift from online pressure to viral celebration reveals how deeply personal milestones are turned into public spectacle for Nigerian women. Those dancing in the market expressed genuine delight, but the demand to locate them turns their moment into a performance for social media validation. The expectation for gratitude to be reciprocated publicly adds another layer to the burden of visibility.
