Former Nigerian Ambassador to Spain, Bianca Ojukwu’s epic slap delivered to immediate-past First Lady of Anambra, Ebelechukwu Obiano has regained prominence after a controversial incident in which popular Hollywood actor, Will Smith slapped Oscars host and comedian, Chris Rock on Sunday night.
Will, who went on to claim the coveted Best Actor prize, had stormed the stage and landed the slap on Chris Rock’s face after the host made a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith’s hair.
Well, the similarities in both slapping incidents were not lost on Nigerians, who took to Twitter to point them out.

there's so much diff b/w bianca's slap nd will's slap.
ebele obiano is collectively hated. chris rock, not so much.
ebele obiano touched bianca even after being warned. chris didn't touch will.
ebele obiano catwalked to the slap. chris' slap was doorstep delivery.#oscars2022
