A video showing a single mother breaking down in tears after selling her phone just to feed her child drew widespread attention online. While many people sympathized with her struggle, some others made light of her pain. One particularly insensitive comment read, “She go cry more than the baby, she think say e dey sing Celine Dion song 😂,” mocking her emotional breakdown.
This kind of response reflects a troubling lack of empathy in online spaces — where genuine human suffering is often turned into a joke. Instead of showing compassion toward a woman clearly going through hardship, such comments ridicule her vulnerability, turning pain into entertainment. It highlights how desensitized many people have become to others’ struggles, especially when it involves women trying to survive difficult circumstances alone.
