Saskay Claps Back After Being Told She’s Not a Northern Woman
Reality TV star and beauty influencer Saskay ignited an online debate after sharing a photo with the caption, “Another lovely day being a northern woman.”
However, one Twitter user quickly challenged her claim, stating:
“Saskay, you’re not a Northern woman. You’re from the Middle Belt!”
The comment referred to Saskay’s home state, Adamawa, suggesting it belongs to Nigeria’s Middle Belt rather than the North—a claim that many would argue is inaccurate.
Saskay responded swiftly, quote-tweeting the reply alongside a viral meme and humorously firing back:
“Ah ahn. You people moved Adamawa to the Middle Belt and did not tell me?”
Her witty comeback quickly went viral, sparking a larger conversation about Nigeria’s complex regional classifications. Many social media users joined the debate, discussing the geography and cultural identities linked to Nigeria’s Middle Belt and Northern regions.
The exchange highlighted the ongoing sensitivity and pride surrounding regional identities in Nigeria, with Saskay’s playful response earning widespread applause online.
