Popular Nigerian actress, Adesua Etomi-Wellington has slammed presidential aide, Lauretta Onochie over the photo of kids she shared to advocate for the use of nose mask.
Lauretta Onochie took to her Twitter page to share images of children covering their noses with a paper nose mask as an alternative. Sharing the photos on her page, she captioned it:
“WEARING A MASK IS NOT A POLITICAL STATEMENT. IT’S NOT PUNISHMENT BY GOVERNMENT PROTECTS YOURSELF. WEAR ONE. These have made efforts with masking where those of us who are more vulnerable & susceptible to COVID-19 are still swearing that it’s a scam. God bless their efforts”.

The movie star said rather than addressing the poor condition of the kids, the presidential aide was “spewing nonsense.”
“You are a disgrace. Both home & abroad. You should be ashamed that these children have to do this with cardboards. Instead of talking about how to tackle poverty so they can be protected adequately against the virus, you’re spewing this nonsense,” she wrote on Twitter.
