Some years back, Ruth Kadiri had sparked online reactions after sharing a photo of her lookalike sister on her birthday. Ruth took to her Instagram page to shower birthday messages and prayers on her sister, expressing how much she loves her.
Kadiri isn’t the only one with lookalikes.
In 2022, actor Joseph Momodu addressed a viral video of his lookalike with Bobrisky. The actor made it known that he wasn’t the one in the video, and the model advertising the product only bears striking looks with him. The actor lamented the curses and insults he had received as he told them to stop sending him messages.
Singer Adekunle Gold reacted after his lookalike expressed his desire to be by the singer’s side. Replying to him, Adekunle questioned what he meant by such a statement.
During the heat of Naira Marley’s cancellation over Mohbad’s death, a Nigerian man, who bears a striking resemblance to him, had cried out over the death of his mother. He claimed that his mother died of high blood pressure, due to his uncanny resemblance to the disgraced singer. He cried out to Nigerians for help as he revealed that he had received calls, messages, and threats from many.
Another Nigerian, a Tiktoker who bears a resemblance to Naira Marley claimed that he got himself back, at the center of a mistaken identity. He expressed that he had endured online attacks, with his social media accounts repeatedly reported.
