Mercy Eke’s birthday celebration became another showcase of how women’s success is often belittled. After announcing her third house in Lagos, instead of offering genuine congratulations, one user reduced her achievement to the vulgar remark: “Her toto dun gooooooo.” This crude implication that her wealth came only through sexual activity ignores her hard work, branding, and business ventures. It reflects a broader societal problem where women’s milestones are tied to derogatory assumptions instead of merit. Such comments are not only disrespectful but also harmful—they dismiss women’s agency and discourage others from celebrating their wins confidently. Success deserves recognition, not insults.
