Nigerian actress Sarah Martins has voiced her disappointment regarding the double standards exhibited by Nigerians in response to the case of the missing ladies.
Specifically referring to Celine and her Ghanaian friend, Afiba, who vanished after traveling to Abia State to meet someone they had connected with on Facebook.
Sarah criticized the tendency of Nigerians to rush to judgment and condemn these women, reminding them that many individuals have found genuine connections and love through social media platforms.
She appealed to people to cease harassing these innocent ladies, stressing that such a situation could easily happen to anyone.
Sharing her own positive encounter with social media, Sarah mentioned gospel singer Moses Bliss, who found his life partner through online interaction.
“Nigerians are hypocrites! Same people who met the love of their lives on social are busy bashing the ladies that visited Black Sheep abi na Black Sheriff.
“Truth be told, most of us meet our partners on social media, so stop using it as an opportunity to bully those innocent ladies is not fair! It could have been anyone.
“Someone like me that doesn’t even go out…I can’t remember the last time I stepped out of my house and agreed to exchange numbers with strangers….
“I’ve met good people on this app, and a lot of you even got married through this same social media.
“Condemn online sex hawking (hook up/ runs, etc ) but not someone who met u online with genuine intentions.
“Even Moses Bliss met his beautiful wife on IG, and the online relationship turned into a physical relationship, then marriage.
“Stop using every opportunity to talk down on women. The ladies I saw in those videos were looking decent, and I believe they all thought they’d met a responsible man for themselves. It is well! God will help us”.
