According to the actress: “The calls I ve been receiving have been very worrisome. I don t know why anybody should take my post. 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." Ezeonu who studied journalism at the Nigerian Institute of Journalism ( NIJ) also said “in journalism, what you do when in doubt 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 someone. Please I am alive and healthy .
