He revealed that his 18-year-old daughter requested that she wanted to pierce her tongue but he wasn't comfortable with it.

In an interview with VJ Adams, the movie star recalled that when he was young, he did not have the guts to tell his dad that he wanted to keep his beard.

Nevertheless, he understood that his daughter had some schoolmates who had pierced their tongues, which spurred her to make such a demand.

After Ninalowo rejected his daughter's desire to pierce her tongue, she came up with another request, to pierce her navel. At this point, he permitted her because the navel ring could be removed. In addition, he wanted to connect with his daughter and assure her that he would always be there for her.

Temitope Adetunji shares take on Ninalowo's daughter

A journalist with a keen interest in human interest stories, Temitope Adetunji, said that Bolanle Ninalowo's decision to permit his daughter to get her navel pierced was a recognition of her autonomy as a young adult. She told Legit.ng:

"My take on this would be from a perspective of personal choice and cultural dynamics. Bolanle Ninalowo permitting his 18-year-old daughter to have her navel pierced seems to reflect his recognition of her autonomy as a young adult. At 18, she is legally considered an adult in many societies, capable of making decisions about her body."

Personally I don’t like it but an adult can decide on what to do with his or her body.
