    Seyi and Tiwaloluwa. Photo credit: Instagram Popular Nigerian comedian Seyi Law has called Kemi Olunloyo a bully over her social media rants about his less than-one-year-old daughter, Tiwa. The comedian told Sunday Scoop that it is a blessing to have a child whose only concern is getting vaccinated monthly with no health complications. "This is just a case of a person who has refused to seek help. It is obvious that Kemi has decided to bully my daughter. Bullies usually fight people who are within their age bracket and people who have the same body size as them. For her to attack my daughter only means that she is unwell. Who bullies a young child? Never have I seen someone her age bully a child as young as my daughter who is barely a year old," he said. "I have decided to ignore her rants. She also made some obnoxious claims about my daughter's health. But when you're a man that wakes up every day, knowing the only reason your daughter visits the hospital is to ...
