Popular
Nigerian comedian, Bright Okpocha, better known as Basketmouth, has slammed
bloggers in the country for not investigating news materials before posted them
on the internet through their platforms.
Coming
from his Valentine’s Day show at the Apollo Centre in London, England, which
was largely attended, the humour merchant advised bloggers to take time to
research on information they source for or gets to them.
He
was reacting to a tribute he made to his late eldest brother, who died 10 years
ago, which some online media platforms posted as if he lost his brother to
death in 2015.
On
February 14, 2015, Basketmouth posted, "You'll always be remembered, loved
and cherished. RIP Okpocha Kingsley. I love you bro," but some bloggers
published the story to look as if the comedian just lost his brother.
"When
our Nigerian bloggers will be doing copy and paste stories..... No
investigation, no proper research. Anyway, I lost my eldest brother on the 14th
of Feb 2005 (10 years ago) Not 2 days ago. Akamu," Basketmouth wrote.
Meanwhile,
some of his fans have continued to commensurate with him and have prayed that
God gives him and his family the fortitude to continue to bear the loss.
