Popular commentator VDM has condemned the Nigerian government and influential corporations for their apparent hypocrisy following the death of Phyna’s sister, Ruth. He highlighted the painful reality that Ruth spent 19 agonizing days in the hospital after her accident, yet her plight went largely unnoticed and unaddressed by those with the power to help.
VDM expressed frustration over the delayed response, pointing out that Ruth’s condition could have received timely intervention if awareness had been raised earlier. He blamed the silence for slowing down potential support, suggesting that if public pressure had been mobilized while she was still alive, major players like the Dangote Group might have been compelled to act swiftly.
Now that Ruth has passed away, VDM noted a surge of online discussions and social media posts mourning her loss. He criticized this reactive approach, urging for consistent advocacy and timely action in such critical situations instead of waiting for tragedy to occur before attention is drawn.
