Video of actress Shaffy Bello giving up a seat for film maker, Abbey Lanre at an event, sparks debate online

A video of veteran Nollywood actress Shaffy Bello has sparked mixed reactions on social media.

In the clip, Shaffy Bello was seen finding her way into the event hall after which she was directed to a seat.

Moments after she sat down, Mr Lanre approached and informed her that she was sitting in his seat.

The actress immediately apologised, stood up calmly and moved to another seat without any argument.

The short exchange has since triggered a debate online.

While some Nigerians criticised Mr Lanre, arguing that he should have allowed the actress remain seated because she is a celebrity, others disagreed.

Many insisted that age should be respected regardless of status, saying Shaffy Bello did the right thing by giving up the seat.

Others praised both parties, noting that the man handled the situation quietly and did not make a scene, while the actress responded respectfully.
