Popular Nollywood actress, Adesua Etomi has slammed presidential aide, Lauretta Onochie after seeing an insensitive and offensive photo she shared on her Twitter page.
Onochie shared a photo of underprivileged children with cardboard box masks on her Twitter page; as she called on Nigerians to ensure they wear facemasks.
“WEARING A MASK IS NOT A POLITICAL STATEMENT. ITS NOT PUNISHMENT BY GOVERNMENT PROTECT YOURSELF. Wear one. These have made efforts with masking where those of us who are more vulnerable & susceptible to COVID-19 are still swearing that it’s a scam. God bless their efforts,” Onochie wrote.
Etomi saw the photo of the little children and was angry. Reacting to Onochie’s post, Etomi wrote on Twitter, “You are a disgrace. Both home & abroad. You should be ashamed that these children have to do this with cardboards. Instead of talking about how to tackle poverty so they can be protected adequately against the virus, you’re spewing this nonsense.”
“This picture made me so angry and brought tears to my eyes. They are so small, so vulnerable and so unprotected. Arghhhhhh. THIS COUNTRY,” Etomi continued.
“I am finally accepting the fact that some human beings, really are dead on the inside. Didn’t understand how that could be even possible. I’m realising every day that it is,” Etomi said referring to Onochie.
