Nigerian singer and songwriter, Simi, has expressed her opinion on the use of age and financial status as a tool for insult, stating that it is uncreative and silly.
The singer shared her thoughts via her Instagram stories, where she advised people to find more creative and smart ways to put others in their place instead of resorting to age or financial status shaming.
Simi emphasized that using age as an insult is particularly senseless, as the only way someone can avoid growing old is if they are no longer alive.
She further noted that using financial status as an insult is also embarrassing, as it shows a lack of creativity and intelligence.
In the age of social media, where it is easy to hide behind screens and troll others, Simi’s message resonates with many people who have been at the receiving end of age or financial status shaming.
It is not uncommon to see people resort to such tactics to try to undermine others, but Simi’s message highlights the need for people to be more creative and intelligent in the way they address conflicts.
WE are living in a rapidly changing world, but its a completely a different ballgame on the african continent, let us all be all be responsible enough to own up when the time come for accountability.
