Nollywood actor IK Ogbonna has called for the regulation of social media, follow the ruckus between philanthropist King Mitchy, and activist VeryDarkMan.

Reacting to the latest misdemeanor of death and burial antics between the duo, IK Ogbonna stated that social media is now devoid of parental guidance, and accountability.

According to him, clout is the new currency, while monetization benefits have clouded the mind of several individuals.

Proffering a solution, he suggested that blogs and high-traffic pages must be held accountable for whatever they amplify, stressing that their virality should be focused on "what shapes minds."

He wrote:
"At this point, I strongly believe Social media needs regulation.

No parental guidance. No accountability.
Stupidity is rewarded, substance is ignored.
Clout has become currency, and money has blinded many to the fact that this is only the beginning.

The real question is: who regulates the regulators?

Because those we trust to fix it often use it for their own advantage.

At the very least, blogs and high-traffic pages must take responsibility for what they amplify.

What you promote shapes minds.
Last, last, I pray for wisdom."
Recall that King Mitchy was recently involved in a social media spat with activist VeryDarkMan.

Following the backlash she faced from the fans of VDM, she resorted to drinking hypo during a Tiktok live session.

Hours later, her management announced the news of her alleged demise, revealing that she suffered a critical condition before giving up the ghost at Prime Care Hospital, Abuja.

Issuing a disclaimer, Prime Care Hospital management described the information as "false," clarifying that she was never a patient in their hospital, neither did she pass on in their facility.
