Nigerian influencer Tomike Adeoye has criticised people who post prayers about their own loved ones’ longevity under social media posts mourning someone who has died.
In a video shared online, Tomike described the practice as insensitive, explaining that such comments could hurt people who were grieving the loss of a loved one.
Recalling the loss of her mother, she questioned why someone would comment, “May our mothers live long to reap the fruits of their labour,” under a post where she was expressing sadness over her mother’s passing.
She urged Nigerians to be more considerate when commenting on bereavement posts, adding that people could pray for their loved ones privately or in church rather than under another person’s grief.
