The veteran movie star blasted the people behind the wrong information as she clarified that she was alive and healthy.

She said:

“I lost a very close friend of mine; I posted a candle, a half-burnt candle, and they now put my picture on that candle, and everybody is saying that I died. It is wrong. I am alive and healthy, please."

Also, in the video, Ezeonu expressed her admiration for people who reached out to her to confirm the story and noted that journalists should always leave out information they are unsure of.

“In journalism, what you do when in doubt is you leave out. If you cannot get across to the person to at least confirm the story, you don’t post.

“Don’t do that, please. Don’t try it again. This is a new year, why would anybody want to hurt each other just because they want people to follow them?

Oguduclifford:

“Mommy with all due respect, you are a public figure, when next you want to make such post, make it with clarity. So it won’t be misunderstood. Non of this would have happened if you simply stated that it was your friend who died. I mean, people where in that comment section worried and asking what’s going on. You didn’t even try to clarify the post. Hence it was misunderstood. Well I am not saying people who said you where dead did well, but then please try and make your post explanatory next time. You are some of us favourite. Please ma. We love you and you not dying soon.”
