Nigerian skit maker, Aloma Isaac Junior, also known as Zicsaloma, has berated critics who are making a mockery of his aged mother’s physical appearance.

Naijaonpoint reports that Zicsalom, in a video shared on his Instagram page, said his 70-year-old mother, battling cancer, wanted to attend his movie premiere but was uncertain about her strength, but noted that she was recovering well after undergoing chemotherapy.

However, the video sparked negative comments, with many netizens referencing Zicsaloma’s mother’s appearance, including comments about her nose.

In response, Zicsaloma expressed disappointment over the unkind remarks from young adults, both locally and internationally.

The skit maker stated that such negative comments do not affect him, stressing that such remarks make him question the current generation’s ability to make informed decisions about governance and societal issues.

He said, “I saw some comments saying my mum’s nose is big, asking me, ‘Why you no do surgery for her?’ People were saying my mother is ugly. You’re saying this about a woman who is over 70 years old, fighting a terminal illness like cancer. I wish most of you saying all these negative things about my mum will get to 70 years and look as good as she does.

“Trust me, comments do not get to me. I knew this generation was bad, but I did not know this generation was finished. That is why sometimes I say we deserve what we get in this country.

“I saw the sweet comments and I appreciate them, but the negative comments from young adults, even people abroad, were higher than you can imagine.

“People who reason like this, how can they vote for a good government? How can there not be tribalism? How can there not be religious sentiments?”
