Alesh Sanni Challenges The Genuineness Of Tributes After Allwell Ademola’s Death

Actor Alesh Sanni has raised concerns over the sincerity of social media tributes following the death of his colleague, actress Allwell Ademola. Ademola reportedly passed away on Saturday, December 27, at the age of 49.

In an Instagram video, Sanni criticized what he described as inconsistent support within the entertainment industry, noting that many individuals now sharing emotional condolences had previously failed to promote Ademola’s films while she was alive. He emphasized that Ademola, who was also a producer, deserved greater recognition and genuine support during her lifetime, rather than what he perceived as performative sympathy after her passing.

Sanni remarked, “What I don’t understand is why people are so quick to share bad news. This is disturbing and disheartening. She was a producer, yet her works were hardly promoted. Now, within minutes of her passing, everyone is posting tributes. Why the sudden attention?”

According to entertainment observers, Sanni’s comments reflect broader discussions in Nollywood about the tendency for social media outpourings to sometimes overshadow genuine support for colleagues during their lifetimes.
