Social media commentator Honor Oriretan has taken aim at comedian Mark Angelo over his recent wedding, describing the timing as inappropriate in light of the worsening insecurity situation in Nigeria.
In a post published online, Oriretan linked the comedian’s celebration to the ongoing abduction of school children and teachers in Oyo State, claiming the event showed a lack of sensitivity towards the victims of the crisis.
He said holding a wedding during a period of national distress sends the wrong message, especially as families continue to struggle with the trauma of kidnappings and insecurity in parts of the country.
The commentator further claimed that some of the abducted victims in Oyo State could be fans of the comedian, insisting that public figures should be more mindful of the national mood before joining in the celebrations.
Quoting his post, Oriretan wrote: “It’s unwise to marry Marco Angelo at this time when the country is bleeding. Evidence of a ‘I don’t care’ attitude, a lack of empathy.”
He also added: “Those children, the teachers who were kidnapped in Oyo state are probably his fans, but to think that marriage is now the best way to show support to them is more foolish.”
He wrote about the comedian’s choice of partner and the age difference: “Marrying a girl who is probably in her early 20s instead of his age is unwise. THIS IS DEFINITELY A WRONG PRIORITY.”
Oriretan concluded with a strong request, saying: “MY VERDICT: Mark Angel has 48 hours to apologise, declare this marriage null and void to show solidarity with those children, teachers suffering in the bush and re-marry after their release. Act fast.. Be wise.. Don’t be reckless.”
