The Minister for Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, has issued a strong condemnation against a young woman who posted a video online featuring her mentally ill mother. The video, which has since sparked widespread concern, shows the daughter explaining how her mother’s mental health deteriorated after the death of her father. According to the young woman, her mother, who was once able to care for her family, now lives on the streets, and the daughter visits her occasionally with food and money.
Exploitation of Vulnerability for Personal Gain
In her response, Minister Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye criticized the young woman for what she described as the exploitation of her mother’s vulnerable condition for personal gain and social media attention. The Minister labeled the act as “unacceptable, potentially harmful, and troubling,” and highlighted the importance of compassion, understanding, and support for those struggling with mental health issues, rather than using them for online content.
Call to Action for Protecting the Vulnerable
The Federal Ministry of Women’s Affairs has called for urgent action to identify the mother and ensure she receives the care and protection she needs. The Minister emphasized the need to protect the dignity and humanity of those facing mental health challenges and urged the public to report similar cases of exploitation immediately. A reward has also been offered for anyone who can assist in locating the woman to provide her with the necessary support.
Public Appeal for Respect and Compassion
Minister Kennedy-Ohanenye’s statement serves as a reminder of the ethical responsibilities individuals have towards vulnerable members of society. She called on everyone to join forces in preventing the exploitation of individuals with mental health issues and to provide the support they need.
