Popular Nollywood actress, Toyin Alausa is very angry over the growing trend of sharing photos and videos of dead persons on social media.

She said: “The way people just expose the dead on social media these days is so annoying and mind-boggling. What’s the point, actually?”

“Immediately it’s confirmed that someone has passed, the right thing to do is to cover them, at least the face. It’s about showing respect, offering dignity, and, in a way, providing emotional closure for their relatives.”

“This inhumane attitude has sadly become the norm. It may be important to get footage for clarification or when immediate relatives aren’t nearby, but not to be splashed as content on social media. It’s so disrespectful.”

“Seeing a blank face devoid of life and emotions can be extremely traumatic. We can do better and be more empathic.”
