I was shocked, appalled and irritated by the total lack of respect for the dead by our so called bloggers whom have sold their souls because of money and traffic. Immediately after the robbery at Lekki took place, images of the dead victims were already being uploaded on the blogs without considering the fact that family members may have not been notified and some of them may stumble upon images of dead relatives online. Blogging have also degenerated into uploading images of road traffic accidents victims. Dear blogger, warnings of "Graphic Images" and "Viewer Discretion" is not sufficient. DO NOT POST such images as such postings equates you to the likes of Boko Haram and ISIS. Imagine how gruesome it will be if CNN decides to post all graphic images captured during coverage of conflict zones.
Before uploading a picture, think about how you will feel if images of your dead family members are uploaded online for the world to see. Also ask yourself if that's how you want a loved one to be remembered.
