Mercy Aigbe slams bloggers over Toluwanisings’ family dispute

Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe has criticised bloggers interviewing members of the family of late gospel singer Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, amid an ongoing dispute over his burial arrangements.

The actress accused some bloggers of worsening tensions between the deceased singer’s widow and his family instead of allowing them to grieve privately and peacefully.

In a post shared on her Instagram page, Aigbe questioned the lack of compassion surrounding the controversy, asking, “Have we lost our sense of humanity? What happened to compassion?”

She noted that Toluwanisings’ death had left behind a grieving wife and two young children who needed privacy, support and understanding during the difficult period.

According to Aigbe, turning the family’s disagreement into online content only increases the distress of those mourning the singer. “Must everything become content? Must every family disagreement become public entertainment?” she queried.

The actress urged bloggers and others covering the dispute to consider the emotional impact of their actions on the bereaved family. “Whatever disagreements exist, can we allow this family some dignity and privacy to navigate their grief?” she added.

Aigbe further stressed that not every situation required public attention, calling on content creators to exercise restraint. “Not every situation needs a microphone. Not every conflict needs an audience. And not every tragedy should become an opportunity for engagement. Sometimes, the most humane thing you can do is put the camera down,” she said.
