Nigeria Mohbad’s Father Questions Late Singer’s Decision to Buy Land for Son, Faces Backlash

Mohbad’s father, Mr. Aloba, sparked controversy by questioning why the late singer bought land in his son Liam’s name. His remarks triggered a backlash, with many accusing him of entitlement. Social media users defended Mohbad’s decision, arguing he was securing his child’s future rather than prioritizing family expectations.

Mr. Aloba, father of the late Nigerian singer Mohbad, has sparked controversy after questioning his son’s decision to purchase land in his grandson Liam’s name. In a viral clip from a TikTok live session on February 26, 2025, he expressed confusion over why Mohbad made such a choice.

Aloba stated that he had never bought anything in Mohbad’s name, yet the singer secured two plots of land for his young son. His comments triggered strong reactions online, with many accusing him of prioritizing property over his late son’s legacy. Some social media users interpreted his remarks as entitlement, highlighting a recurring theme of African parents viewing their children as financial investments.

Critics pointed out that Aloba had previously lamented his living conditions shortly after Mohbad’s burial, further fueling speculation that his primary concern was inheritance. Many defended Mohbad’s decision, praising him for breaking generational cycles by ensuring his son’s financial security.

Users also noted that had the land been registered in his wife Wunmi’s name, accusations of ulterior motives would have surfaced. Others emphasized that a father choosing to secure his child’s future should not be controversial.

As discussions intensify, the debate underscores broader cultural conversations about inheritance, parental expectations, and financial independence in Nigerian families.
