Actress and producer Mary Remmy Njoku has expressed concern over how social media is used in Nigeria.
In a strongly worded Instagram post, she noted that painful realities are now treated as “content” from deaths to street fights and even a child’s tears.
While acknowledging that social media can unite and inspire change, Njoku lamented that in Nigeria, “pain is broadcast as entertainment and suffering packaged like skits.”
She admitted she sometimes logs off entirely, preferring to solve “real problems with real people” rather than scroll through “endless noise.”
Njoku ended with a call for reflection: “We are still human in this country… aren’t we?”

In other news…. Nigerian music duo Bracket has weighed in on the long-standing feud between the Okoye brothers Peter, Paul, and Jude urging them to put aside pride, remember their roots, and reconcile.
They described the situation as confusing when each brother shares his side:
“If you listen to Peter, listen to Paul, listen to Jude, you don’t even know where to come in. Everybody has their own personal issue. It’s like, how can you guys even solve this?”
The duo argued that outside influence has worsened the rift:
“They paid too much attention to what people say. Forget about what people say. You are brothers. You know how you started, you lived in the same house, you came from the same womb. Why are you letting people’s words divide you?”
However, they admitted the fallout had escalated too far, pointing to police and EFCC involvement:
“Both of them, all of them, they’ve crossed the line. Getting your brother locked up? There’s no more brotherhood there. It will take God’s divine grace for them to ever get back together.”
Still, Bracket emphasized humility and forgiveness as the path to healing:
“There’s a saying in Igbo: the anger of a brother doesn’t get to the bone. No matter how angry you are, don’t let it reach the bone. Swallow your pride. Dig deep. Leave whatever has happened in the past — the pride, the ego.”
Turning to fans, they condemned outsiders who fuel the dispute by choosing sides without knowing the full story:
“We, the fans, are not happy. And the most painful part is people who don’t even know them choosing sides. They judge from what they see on social media.”
