Sonia Ighalo has come out to blast Nigerians who are rejoicing over the announcement of the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari. Sonia, who used to be married to footballer Jude Ighalo, recently took to her Instagram page to mourn Nigeria’s former president.
According to her, Nigerians should learn to show empathy towards the dead, especially when the deceased is somebody’s dad, husband or son.
She added that it is horrible for anyone to see someone’s demise as a reason to celebrate.
Her words, “Nigerians seem to lack empathy, this is someone’s father, husband, uncle and son.
Must you all display your caprine tendencies even when calamity befalls?
While criticisms of his leadership are valid, celebrating his de@th misses our shared humanity.
De@th is the final chapter we ALL must face, and in that reality, empathy should always prevail. Shalom.”
WOW.
