“You are the most insensitive old man I’ve ever seen. Cover your face in shame.
“Jerry Amilo just posted a video of Junior Pope’s corpse with cotton wools in his nose. Such a very snesless man. I used to respect Jerry Amilo. Jerry Amilo I am disappointed in you, why would you post such a thing? For wetin? Why? For comments, for you to have traffic on your Facebook.
“You took a video of your friend, of your junior colleague lying dead, you made a video, watermarked the video because your facebook is monetised abi? You are using your junior colleague’s corpse to create content Jerry Amilo,”
he said in parts.
