Nigerian
actress and singer, Dayo Amusa, has urged social media users to ‘slow
down on social bullying and attack on celebrities careers.’
Amusa recently attracted verbal attacks when she called condemned
controversial daughter of Victor Omololu Olunloyo – a former governor of
Oyo State, Kemi Olunloyo, for accusing actor, Jide Kosoko of having a
hand in his late wife, Henrietta’s death.
Recall that tongues kept wagging on the social media after the movie icon lost his third wife.
While others attacked Jide, Amusa built a wall of defense around him.
She was slammed by followers, who said she was taking sides with the bereaved actor because she was his sexual partner.
In a post on her social media handles, the pretty Yoruba actress
wrote: “CELEBRITIES are not supernatural being. It’s so PATHETIC of
anyone to think otherwise.
“WORDS!!! Those five letters can make or break anyone. The words you hear can either lift you up or bring you down.
“The words you say to someone can either uplift them or destroy them.
I see & read a lot of postings on social media & some of these
words cuts deep. Forget about the usually high school bullies. High tech
bullies (cyber bullying) are deadly!!!!
“The way these people furiously attack other people’s picture,
career, family, even worse, children, is terrible. It’s even more
disheartening when I see grownups doing this.
“How does one criticize their fellow human being in such manner?
Hiding behind the keyboard to make other people miserable will never add
values to your life. I have noticed this predominantly among
Nigerians/Africans. The way they tear down makeup artist & their
work is mind blowing.
“Don’t get me started on Nigerian artist both actors & musicians.
There is something called constructive criticism or unbiased opinion. I
must commend Nigerian artists; they are actually doing their best with
what they’ve got.
“In a country as frustrating as Nigeria, no light, no water, pricy
fuel & bad road, they still managed to produce decent movies.
Nigeria’s movie industry has actually improved a great deal, most
especially the Yoruba movie industry.
“We have great actors and producers producing & acting in great
movies. It’s sad to see that these folks still get attacked on social
media. People felt it’s their calling to meddle in these people’s
personal life. These folks are not made of stones. They have feelings
just like u & I. I don’t think I can sit back & let anyone
attack me or my family like that.
“Only a coward sits behind a screen & a keyboard & bully
other people. We need to do better, let your words encourage, lift &
build others.
“Remember we’ll all give an account of every idle words. Let’s build
each other up. Uplift other people’s business. If you have to say
something think about your words. If you are in the other person’s
shoes, how will you feel if those words are spoken to you? Life is
difficult enough for us to be tearing each other down. Think before you
type. Thank you,” Amusa stated.
