LAGOS, Nigeria(VOICE OF NAIJA)- Nollywood star Sola Sobowale has fueled fan reactions online after a brief moment at her daughter’s wedding showed her remaining seated while her ex-husband took to the dance floor alone.
The veteran actress recently celebrated her daughter Mimi’s traditional wedding in Ibadan, where elegance met the best of Nollywood.
The ceremony drew high-profile guests including Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, alongside Nollywood figures like Femi Adebayo, Kunle Afolayan, and media personality Toke Makinwa.
Music legends Yinka Ayefele and Adewale Ayuba kept guests entertained with live performances.
Beyond the glitz, one particular moment has captured public attention.
In a circulating clip, the bride’s father, Oludotun Sobowale, a former corporate Executive Director at EKO Hospital, was invited to the dance floor, but Sola Sobowale appeared to ignore him.
While he danced, Sobowale remained seated, smiling but made no attempt to join him.
Shortly after, a friend sitting beside the actress was seen nudging her, seemingly encouraging her to join her ex-husband.
