Popular Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele has come under criticism after sharing a birthday post on the same day veteran actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, was laid to rest.
The development sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some users questioning the timing of the actress’s celebration amid the mourning of a prominent figure in the Nigerian film industry.
Others, however, defended Akindele, arguing that she was entitled to celebrate her birthday despite the loss of a colleague.
The controversy has since generated wider debate online, with social media users divided over whether public figures should suspend personal celebrations during moments of collective mourning.
