Sarah Martins, a renowned Nigerian actress, has expressed her frustration over the hypocrisy shown by Nigerians in their reaction to the case of the missing ladies.
She specifically mentioned Celine and her Ghanaian friend, Afiba, who disappeared after traveling to Abia State to meet an acquaintance they had made on Facebook.
Sarah condemned the quickness of Nigerians to judge and vilify these women, reminding everyone that numerous individuals have found authentic relationships and love via social media platforms.
She urged the public to stop tormenting these blameless ladies, emphasizing that anyone could find themselves in a similar situation.
Sharing her own positive experience with social media, Sarah referred to gospel singer Moses Bliss, who discovered his soulmate through online engagement.
“Nigerians are hypocrites! The very people who found their soulmates on social media are the ones criticizing the ladies who visited Black Sheep or Black Sheriff. The truth is, most of us meet our partners on social media, so it’s unfair to use this as an excuse to bully these innocent ladies. It could have happened to anyone.
“As someone who rarely goes out, I can’t recall the last time I left my house and agreed to exchange numbers with strangers. I’ve met wonderful people on this platform, and many of you have even married through this same social media.
“Condemn online sex trafficking (hook up/ runs, etc.), but not someone who met you online with sincere intentions.
“Even Moses Bliss met his lovely wife on Instagram, and their online relationship evolved into a physical relationship, and eventually, marriage.
“Stop seizing every opportunity to belittle women. The ladies I saw in those videos appeared decent, and I believe they all thought they’d met a responsible man. It is well! God will help us.”
