Prominent Nigerian celebrities, Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh are currently facing backlash for their most recent video. Their decision to record the process of purchasing a new casket for Mohbad has ignited a debate among Nigerians.
Recall that in the midst of the discussions about Mohbad’s burial, many people had expressed concern that the initial casket in which he was buried was too small. This concern prompted calls for a new, more fitting casket to honor the late artist properly. Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dike decided to take action by purchasing a new casket.
