Nigerians react to Sam Larry's post
The post attracted a wave of comments, with reactions ranging from supportive to sharply critical. Several users questioned whether the tribute was more about clearing his public image than genuinely honouring the deceased.
@isahumaru_ commented:
"As a Muslim always use Allah instead of God. ALHAMDULILAH for the trials and prevailed. May Almighty Allah continue to guide and protect us"
@icekid_alex wrote:
"Pray for forgiveness over mohbad death that is what I will say for u because u intimidated him with alot of treat"
@hershelldwayne reacted:
"After using mohbad he decided to use his bouncer"
@sunnybekky_ shared:
"Bro, I think you should show respect to your bouncer who lost his life first(may his soul rest in peace). Something as little as a post would do. I wish you the best."
@omohi85 stated:
"@sunnybekky_ I agree with you. Post photograph of the death and write a memorial. This is self-aggrandisement, posting pics of himself with exposed legs to send a message that he was not hurt in the accident. We thank God that he is alive but I still find even the write-up all about himself and not the dead and wounded. God bless us all and keep us safe from all evil."
