Popular actress, Adesuwa Etomi, has described President Muhammadu Buhari’s aide, Lauretta Onochie, as a disgrace.
Adesuwa, wife of star singer Banky W, got angry after Onochie shared photos of some children looking malnourished, wearing improvised nose masks.
The controversial aide had remarked in a tweet:
”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.”
But Adesuwa does not find this funny, saying that it was people ‘dead inside’ that parade the type of children:
“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.
“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.”
