Veteran Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has expressed her frustration with online trolls who resort to insults and name-calling instead of engaging in constructive discussions on social media.
Taking to her X (formerly Twitter) account, the celebrated actress criticized the frequent use of derogatory terms like "olosho" and "prostitute", calling it exhausting and unoriginal.
"Can’t You Think of More Intelligent Responses?"
Kate, known for her outspokenness, challenged trolls to engage in meaningful discourse rather than resorting to baseless slurs.
She wrote:
"Name-calling like olosho, prostitute & the like is just so tiring to hear. Can’t you come up with more intelligent responses? Oh well, sense was in abundance, but that’s when you decided to walk away so that you would be bereft of brains. Dullards.”
Her statement reflects a growing frustration among public figures and internet users alike, who often face cyberbullying and baseless attacks instead of rational disagreements.
A Call for Online Decency
Kate Henshaw’s stance highlights the need for better online etiquette, urging people to debate with intelligence and respect rather than degrading others with senseless insults.
Her message is a reminder that social media should be a space for meaningful conversations, not a battleground for mindless hate and abuse.
