You could burn the clothes without announcing it. Gosh, you guys are so irritating

You guys do too much on this social media. Don’t you guys have human feelings at all? Gosh, don’t you have sense ???? Someone died, and y’all are making content out of it, Nigerians Kai

Eiya, please don’t forget to burn the hair and any other accessories you used for the burial, including your phone.

The amount of content that has been created from the burial of such a young man, all with the single goal of trending, is unbelievable. It’s surprising how the godmother was silent about jewellery, hair, shoes, and other accessories. God help our youth.
