Debbie Shokoya, a Nollywood actress, has been at the center of a viral controversy surrounding her alleged relationship with Fuji singer Abass Akande Obesere. The actress has categorically denied the claims, stating that Obesere is not her biological father. In a video posted on her Instagram page, Debbie expressed her frustration at the rapid spread of the false information, questioning how such a baseless claim could gain traction.
The actress pointed out that she has never met Obesere before and that her resemblance to her actual father should make it clear that Obesere is not her biological father. Debbie's response has sparked conversations about the dangers of misinformation and the ease with which false claims can spread across social media.
The actress's plea to bloggers and social media users to correct the misinformation and stop spreading false news has fallen on deaf ears, as the controversy continues to rage on.
Debbie Shokoya's plea to stop spreading fake news is a timely reminder of the power of social media in shaping public opinion. In a country where celebrity culture is a significant part of our pop culture, such false claims can have far-reaching consequences. It's high time we took responsibility for verifying information before sharing it on social media.
