Ayra Starr’s Mother Urges Nigerians to Encourage Their Moms to Join TikTok
The mother of popular Nigerian singer Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, better known as Ayra Starr, has encouraged Nigerians to introduce their middle-aged mothers to TikTok, emphasizing the platform’s benefits for mental well-being and creativity.
Mrs. Aderibigbe, who has gained popularity for her engaging and trendy content on TikTok, shared her thoughts in a recent video posted on her page. She expressed gratitude for the support she has received and highlighted how TikTok has positively impacted her mindset and creativity.
“I’m so grateful to be on TikTok. I feel privileged to have you all as part of my life. Thank you for your support,” she said.
She further urged young people to encourage their mothers between the ages of 40 and 60 to embrace TikTok, stating that it helps with mental stimulation and keeps them engaged.
“If your mum is between 40-60 years old, encourage them to be on TikTok because it helps them mentally. I’m on TikTok now, and I can testify to it. My thinking now is different from before. I am more creative in my thoughts. You can see how I’m looking. So please, encourage your mums; let them come and share their life experiences with us,” she added.
The video has since sparked discussions online, with many social media users applauding Mrs. Aderibigbe for breaking stereotypes and promoting digital inclusion among middle-aged women. Others have agreed with her views, noting that social media can serve as a creative outlet and a source of entertainment for older generations.
With an increasing number of older adults embracing platforms like TikTok, Mrs. Aderibigbe’s message may inspire more Nigerian mothers to explore social media, share their wisdom, and connect with younger generations in new and exciting ways.
