Nollywood actress Moyo Lawal has expressed outrage over the circulation of a viral video showing a female passenger, Comfort Emmason, whose top was torn during a scuffle aboard an Ibom Air flight, leaving her exposed.
The actress didn’t just condemn the incident itself but raised serious moral questions about those who shared the video online.
In a post shared via her Instagram account on Wednesday, the 37-year-old star called out the individuals responsible for spreading the footage, questioning the kind of homes and values that produced such behaviour.
“Then the set of people, who are so comfortable sharing nudity that was not authorized just for clickbait and to humiliate the party in the material. Who are the people raising this kind of malicious people?” she asked.
Lawal described the act of circulating sensitive material without consent as a lack of human decency and empathy, warning that no disagreement should ever justify publicly humiliating another person.
“Let’s not even talk about the sick people who share and save such materials. Those ones are not loved at home.
“Like I promise you, it doesn’t matter what someone has done to you don’t you have human decency? Don’t you have empathy??” she wrote.
She further criticised those defending the incident by pointing to the way the victim was dressed, saying such justification was a reflection of poor upbringing and declining moral standards.
“Then the set of people who try to justify how a person dresses or was dressed as justification for such an act, whew, majority of us are not getting trained at home,” she said.
The actress also addressed the conduct of service providers, urging better emotional regulation among individuals in public-facing roles.
“What is it about, some service providers, not understanding that if you are in the service industry, you have to actually serve and not be so prone to emotional displays?”
Calling for a cultural shift, Lawal suggested that anger management should become a necessary part of personal development, especially in a society grappling with emotional instability.
“We honestly need to find a way to include anger management in our lives, so many hurt and angry people just waiting to explode,” she added.
The viral incident and Lawal’s reaction have reignited debates around dignity, consent, and the responsibilities of both individuals and digital users in upholding basic human decency in the face of conflict.
