Gospel singer, Sola Allyson has opened up about a rather unsettling experience she had with a stranger while driving in Lagos.
Speaking during a live Instagram session, Allyson recalled being stopped at a traffic light in the Lekki area when a man in another car winked at her.
The gesture, she said, left her feeling deeply uncomfortable, insulted, and questioning whether she had unknowingly given off the wrong impression.
As someone who believes in spiritual sensitivity, Allyson admitted she began to reflect on her behavior and appearance, wondering if she had unintentionally signaled openness to such an advance.
She highlighted the cultural weight of a wink from a man, noting that it often suggests romantic or intimate intent.
Despite being modestly dressed, Allyson said the incident made her feel misjudged and troubled by how she might have been perceived.
She said the experience left her feeling “dirty,” “small,” “little,” and “insulted.”
“There was a day I was driving in Lekki. When we got to the traffic light, a car stopped beside me and it was a guy in the car and he winked at me. When he winked at me, I felt very dirty because I believe in spiritual things. How did I convey the message that I have something to sell because we all know that when a guy winks at a lady, we know what it means. I don’t like it. I wasn’t dressing in a way that would make anybody think in that way. I felt small, I felt little, I felt insulted”, she said.
