  "summary": "Nigerian comedian Woli Agba has defended his colleague, Dele Omowoli, after a video surfaced showing Omowoli crying uncontrollably following the death of gospel singer Toluwanisings. Agba explained that the video was recorded during mourning and aimed to alert the crew to Omowoli's emotional state, prompting them to reach out to him. He criticized social media users for criticizing Omowoli's decision to record himself crying, arguing that it helped others understand his need for emotional support. Agba emphasized that Omowoli was not only crying but also speaking about the deceased and acknowledging her efforts, and urged people to be more considerate when commenting on how others grieve.",
