@mr.2kay:”Meanwhile She have been busy misleading some of these younger ladies 😁.”
@koz_yl:”Moral lesson: Let call a spade a spade. When you make people believe in the wrong and later you yourself come to get to the point that those things are wrong and you starting doing the needful. Then you need to summon that courage again to come back to tell those people you made them choose that wrong doing and make them understand that those things are wrong and let them follow the right path also like you do.. May God help us all. Social media has destroyed a lot of home from most of this our celebrities. I come in peace ✌🏿.”
