Nollywood actor Bolanle Ninalowo recently shared insights into why he approved his 18-year-old daughter Aliyah’s request for a navel piercing. During an interview, Ninalowo explained that Aliyah initially asked for a tongue piercing, which he declined, citing personal reservations. Instead, he encouraged her to consider other options.
Aliyah later opted for a navel piercing, which her father found more acceptable. To support her, he personally drove her to the appointment, paid for the procedure, and celebrated the experience with her. Ninalowo stated that the decision was rooted in strengthening their bond and allowing her the freedom to express herself responsibly, especially in the face of peer influences.
This move has sparked discussions about balancing parenting with the realities of modern youth culture
