Popular Nigerian comedian and actor Zic Saloma has opened up about the heartbreaking trolling he and his family recently faced.
The content creator shared how cruel remarks about his elderly mother left him deeply disappointed in society.
In an emotional video, Saloma disclosed his mother’s courageous battle with cancer while in her 70s, explaining she had hoped to attend his latest movie premiere.
Though uncertain about her health condition, the entertainer noted her promising recovery following intensive chemotherapy treatments.
What particularly disturbed Saloma were insensitive comments mocking his mother’s appearance, with some netizens cruelly criticizing her facial features.
The frustrated actor delivered a scathing indictment of modern society, declaring this generation beyond redemption.
His emotional post read: “Shockingly, people mocked my mother’s nose, suggesting cosmetic surgery. Others called her unattractive – this about a 70-year-old cancer warrior. I pray critics live to see 70 while maintaining half her grace.
While thick-skinned, these remarks reveal our society’s decay. I suspected we were flawed, but now see we’re completely broken. This mindset explains our nation’s struggles.
The supportive messages were overshadowed by vile comments, many from educated youths, including diaspora Nigerians. This toxicity explains our political failures, ethnic divisions, and religious conflicts.”
