Following the Night of Tributes held in honour of the late Herbert Wigwe on Wednesday, a man, Ikenna Nzimora, has opened up on his observation of guests who graced the occasion.

He added that their tributes were more about them losing out than their love for him. Ikenna wrote:

"Okay so today I succumbed and watched the Herbert Wigwe tribute videos.

"I couldn't help but think that a lot of people giving the tributes were talking more about themselves than about Herbert and how him dying was a more about them losing out than their love for him.

"Heck at one point, one fellow made a statement I felt was him blatantly advertising himself for his next job."

"My takeaway from the tributes was to learn that Nigeria is not really divided. It's the lower rung of the ladder that just things so."

@collinsmbaka said:

"But that's the point. they are supposed to share how he helped them. the good deeds he did, how he impacted their lives. that's all that matters at this point.

"Or you'd rather they talk about how they helped Herbert? lol or how they will miss him?"

@identity_king said:

"A funeral is meant to be about talking about the deceased's good deeds when he was alive. It's not about how they received love but how their life shone light on other people's lives.

"Bruhhh!!!"

@witty_welz said:

"Might not be a fair way to look at it.

"Tributes are focused on celebrating the deceased, not reeling out what you've done for them .

"You think Aig did not do stuff for Herbert?
