Actress Chioma Chijoke recently welcomed her second child, 21 months after the death of her husband, which sparked a wave of congratulations. Many praised her for maintaining the vow of “till death do us part,” while others criticized her. One comment read, “Upon all the dim oma and odogwu dim wey she cry. It’s well.”, referencing a video where Chioma tearfully described her late husband as a “dim oma” (a good husband).
This comment dismisses her grief and seemingly mocks her emotional expression, questioning her sincerity. It reflects a misunderstanding of the complexity of mourning and moving forward after a loss. Everyone handles grief differently, and it’s important to offer empathy rather than judgment when someone is navigating such a difficult journey.
