Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe has criticised bloggers interviewing members of the family of late gospel singer Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, amid an ongoing disagreement over his burial arrangements.
In a post shared on her Instagram page, Aigbe questioned the apparent lack of compassion surrounding the controversy, noting that the singer’s death had left behind a grieving wife and two young children.
She stressed that the bereaved family needed privacy, support and time to mourn, rather than having their disagreement turned into online content.
“Have we lost our sense of humanity? What happened to compassion?
Must everything become content? Must every family disagreement become public entertainment?
Whatever disagreements exist, can we allow this family some dignity and privacy to navigate their grief?
Not every situation needs a microphone. Not every conflict needs an audience. And not every tragedy should become an opportunity for engagement. Sometimes, the most humane thing you can do is put the camera down,” she said.
Aigbe urged bloggers and others covering the dispute to consider the emotional toll their actions could have on the widow, the children and other members of the family during this difficult period.
