Dressed elegantly, the actress who recently shared why she avoids Nigerian roads, moved gracefully through the crowd before settling into what appeared to be an empty chair.
As Shaffy took her seat, a male guest who was apparently sitting there earlier approached her and asked her to vacate the spot.
The man appeared firm in his request, leaving onlookers waiting to see how the actress would react.
Instead of arguing or creating a scene, Shaffy stood up and moved to another available seat nearby.
The actress did not exchange words or show any sign of irritation, choosing instead to keep her composure.

Reactions trail Shaffy Bello's action
Legit.ng compiled the reactions of social media users below:
@Iledare noted:
"I blame the person she asked about the seat and was told she’s free to sit. But the man is a gentle man at all, he was extremely rude."
@SuleOlivia stated:
"What if he was sitting close to his wife, he politely told her to move so there’s nothing wrong with that."
@Big_Balloh noted:
"This generation has a growing discomfort with old age. Respect is no longer consistent; it is conditional. If the same situation involved a younger person asking her to leave the seat, the narrative would have been different. We would have applauded the act, framed it as confidence, and insisted that the seat was his rightful place. Youth asserting itself is celebrated as boldness. Age asserting itself is treated as inconvenience. The comments is no more a debate about seats or entitlement, but a quiet bias against aging. \
@Railcap stated:
"The only person I see at fault here is the usher or the lady that brought here in, because you were asked if she could sit there, and also the man apologized. So nothing here"

Shaffy Bello vows to confront disrespectful youth
Legit.ng earlier reported that Shaffy Bello, in a 2024 interview with Stephanie Coker, stated that she would descend on young people who disrespect her and call her by name.
The actress was asked if she had encountered Gen Z who called her by name, and in response, she said she had.
She noted that the Igbos are not like the Yorubas when it comes to showing respect, but they are not disrespectful. They call elderly women "aunts".
