Nollywood actress Toyin Alausa has expressed distaste at how people chase clout with death.
On her Instagram page, the veteran vented over how people expose the dead on social media, describing it as annoying and mind-blogging.
She questioned what the motive of showing a deceased in full glare is, as she admonished people to show respect, offer dignity, and, in a way, provide emotional closure for their relatives.
“The way people just expose the Dead on social media these days is so annoying and mind-blogging!!
Haba, what’s the point actually?
Immediately, it’s confirmed someone has passed the right thing to do is to cover them, at least the Face!!
It’s showing respect, offering dignity, and, in a way, providing emotional closure for their relatives.
What’s the motive of showing a deceased in full glare?
This inhumane attitude has become the norm lately; sadly, it may be necessary and important to get footage for clarification or in cases where the immediate relations aren’t near, but not to be splashed as content on social media.
It’s so so DISRESPECTFUL to the deceased !! Be it road accidents, in the hospital, or at home, the first thing people do is record and post Haba.
Seeing a blank face devoid of life and emotions can be extremely traumatic, and I personally don’t think it’s appropriate, health-wise!
We can do better and be more empathic.
Laaro Monday”.
Laide Bakare, in an Instagram post, slammed her colleagues for creating content with Allwell’s death. She noted how God was watching over them and prayed for the deceased to rest in peace. Bakare claimed that some of her close pals even opened TikTok, all doing tap tap, busy playing games and collecting gifts.
Similarly, Biodun Okeowo, while slamming her colleagues for quickly posting about her death, revealed that the late actress’s mother had yet to be informed. She expressed sadness at the way people are quicker to post RIP than congratulations. Describing it as alarming, she prayed that our best picture wouldn’t be used as RIP.
