- Toolz, a prominent media personality, recently sparked a cultural discourse on social media by highlighting the importance of familial financial obligations.
- Toolz, on Instagram, surprised many with her decision to care for her mother in old age, stating she would cover all expenses and expects future support.
Nigerian media personality Toolz has stirred conversation online after sharing her thoughts on family financial responsibility, particularly the role of adult children in supporting their parents.
In a candid post on Instagram, Toolz expressed surprise at how many people she’s encountered who reject the idea of financially supporting their parents in old age. According to her, if she had the resources, she wouldn’t hesitate to take care of all her mother’s bills.
She wrote:
“The amount of people I’ve spoken to that said no to this question surprised me. Is it weird that if I could pick up all my mum’s bills, I would? Likewise, do I expect Chairman and General to look after me? Absolutely to a certain extent. What do you think? Is this too old-fashioned?”.

In other news, Ugandan socialite and reality TV star Zari Hassan has spoken out following the recent wedding of her ex-partner, Tanzanian music star Diamond Platnumz, to singer Zuchu.
As earlier reported by Legit.ng, Diamond Platnumz born Naseeb Abdul Juma officially tied the knot with Zuchu in a low-key ceremony held in June 2025. The announcement generated buzz online, with many curious to hear how Zari, the mother of two of Diamond’s children, would respond.
Speaking in an interview with Ayo TV, Zari extended her best wishes to the newlyweds. She acknowledged their shared responsibilities as co-parents and expressed hope for continued peace in their relationship for the sake of their children.
Zari also took a moment to recognize Zuchu’s strength and perseverance. She described Zuchu as a “resilient and strong woman” and joked that she deserves a “Girlfriend of the Year” award for enduring challenges that others might not have managed.
Concluding her remarks, Zari encouraged Diamond Platnumz to now treat Zuchu with the respect and care she deserves as his wife. She pointed out that, as a father, even Diamond wouldn’t want his own daughter to be treated poorly by a man.
In her words:
“If it’s true, I wish them luck. But between me and him, we’re doing a good job with co-parenting our kids, my kids don’t lack anything, Baba T is the type of person that pulls through, so if he’s finally going to settle down, Alhamdulillah. Didn’t the whole world pray for this? Alhamdulillah for you Naseeb. And Zuchu, she wins the Girlfriend Award of the year. She’s strong, she’s resillient. That girl is strong, we couldn’t do it, look at Zuchu, she’s standing. I’m so proud of her, I hope Naseeb treats her better now, because she’s a wife now instead of just a girlfriend. Let him change, it would be really nice, that girl is putting up with a lot of things from Naseeb. I am a mother, I wouldn’t want to see my daughter…Naseeb, you wouldn’t want to see that happening to Lateefah, so please change.”
