Lagos – A renowned comedian,
Bright Okpocha, popularly known
as “Basketmouth'', has slammed
bloggers for rushing to off load
new materials on their platforms
without making
efforts to investigate.
Basketmouth was angry that a
tribute he paid to his brother,
who died 10 years ago, was
made to look like something that
happened in 2015.
Returning from his Valentine's
Day show at the Apollo Centre in
London, which was a sell-out, the
humour merchant advised
bloggers to take time to verify
information at their disposal.
On February 14, 2015,
Basketmouth posted on his
tweeter handle, “you'll always be
remembered, loved and
cherished. RIP Kingsley Okpocha.
I love you bro.”
According to him, the item was
posted by some bloggers “as if i
just lost my brother.”
“Anyway, I lost my eldest brother
on the 14th of Feb 2005, not 2
days ago,” Basketmouth wrote.
“When our Nigerian bloggers
copy and paste stories they don't
even investigate nor carry out
proper research,” he added.
Meanwhile, some of his fans,
unaware of the hoax have
continued to tweet their
condolences to the comedian.
