Nollywood actresses Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh have come under fire from Nigerians, who called them out as “clout chasers” for their recent actions.
Tonto Dikeh and Iyabo Ojo were seen in a video recording themselves while buying new casket for the burial of Nigerian musician Mohbad.
Recall how many people complained that the first casket in which Mohbad was interred was too small during the deliberations about his funeral.
Concern over this issue led to requests for a new, better-suited coffin to properly remember the deceased artist. Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dike made the decision to act by getting a new casket.
However, their choice to record the process of purchasing the casket caused several netizens to raise an eyebrow.
Some Nigerians questioned if Iyabo and Tonto’s choice to record this personal moment was motivated by sincere compassion or by a desire for attention and influence.
Within Nigeria recalls a few hours earlier that Dehinde Harrison, the CEO of Ebony Vaults, volunteered to donate a free hall, pallbearers, a horse-drawn carriage, and wreath bearers for Mohbad’s funeral ceremony.
The incident has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many criticizing them for carrying their cameras along while doing such a commendable work.
