Sonia Ighalo has blasted 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.
Reacting via her social media account, the model simply cautioned her fellow citizens against mocking the dead.
According to her, Nigerians should learn to show empathy towards the dead, especially when the deceased is somebody’s dad, husband or son.
She stated that it is horrible for anyone to see someone’s demise as a reason to celebrate.
“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?” she wrote.

Sonia further noted that even though those criticizing Buhari’s leadership are very right to do so, expressing happiness because somebody died is a very terrible thing to do.
She concluded by urging everyone to remember that we will all die someday, hence the need to put ourselves in people’s shoes.
“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,” she added.
