Controversial critic VeryDarkMan criticized veteran actress Iyabo Ojo for participating in the viral 12345678 challenge, calling her "ancient of days." In a video rant, he shared a clip of Ojo excelling in the challenge, then mocked her outfit, particularly her exposed chest area, deeming it inappropriate for her age.

VeryDarkMan also criticized those praising her, arguing that women her age should set a good example, rather than flaunt their bodies. He suggested that her revealing outfit could attract unwanted attention from her children's friends, rather than earning their respect.

He emphasized that at her age, Iyabo Ojo should focus on being a responsible mother instead of engaging in youthful social media trends.

"As old as you are. If those aged ones are crying to be part of GenZs, there is a limit to these things. Some people said their mother can never because our mothers are busy being mothers and role models to girls all around the society. Imagine our mothers dressing like this. Arugbo ojo, it looks like two Agege bread with beans inside," he said partly.
