Nollywood actress Dayo Amusa has faced backlash for allegedly plagiarizing a post by media strategist and women’s advocate, Esther Ijewere.
The controversy arose when Ijewere discovered that Amusa had reportedly copied and reposted her heartfelt message about singer Asake without crediting her as the original author.
On March 14, Esther Ijewere had shared a deeply personal opinion on Asake’s childhood struggles and the emotional impact of parental rejection. The post quickly resonated with many readers.
However, by the following day, Amusa had posted an identical version on her Facebook and Instagram pages, omitting any mention of Ijewere as the original writer.
On March 15, Ijewere publicly addressed the situation: “Dear Dayo Amusa, You took my post from my Facebook page and shared it as your own on Facebook and Instagram without giving me proper credit. Please do the right thing and acknowledge my work. It’s important to respect and credit the original creator.” (TheNation)
