“I am NOT supporting Baba Ijesha and I can never support a case of rape. I am a woman and I have a daughter and sisters, I will never pray we get molested. What I am saying is, CANCEL CULTURE shouldn’t be the first approach to allegations. HEAR FROM BOTH PARTIES and most importantly, social media isn’t a court of law. THE EAGERNESS TO SPREAD NEGATIVE NEWS ABOUT CELEBRITIES is a CANCER in Nigeria”.

”Hi @toluogunlesi, my sister-in-law was among the 3 dead students found today from Greenfield University. We are all trying to unpack our feelings. People’s children have become sports for bandits & kidnappers.
I know you get a lot of stick on here And I know you get; people are angry. I’m very angry right now because there’s just so much I don’t understand anymore. What’s the purpose of life as a Nigerian? What’s the sole responsibility of a government for/to the people?
I’m marginalised as a Christian in my state. I go elsewhere and I’m being stereotyped. Today, my sister is dead. I can not, for the life of me, imagine what she went thru in the hands of these evil men before her untimely death. Can you? How do I comfort my wife?
How can a mother bury her child? What’s the purpose of thoughts & prayers? Do we deserve to live and die like this in our own country? Do you understand why some of us choose to be “slaves” elsewhere than “kings” at home?
No jokes here… The pain is unbearable. Everyone deserves the benefit of doubt, but do you think this government still deserves any? I need answers. They still have 20 more kids with some to be killed tomorrow if they don’t get what they’d asked for.
Where do we go from here Tolu? Do we worry about tomorrow? Do we believe in a fair, just and righteous God? My mother-in-law hasn’t eaten or showered in 3 days since her daughter, whom she saw on Monday, got kidnapped & this death was the answer to her prayers.
You’re not the president, I know, but please talk to your boss. The evil we do or our negligence surely does come around one way or the other. That’s the circle of life. Do something!! Bless you!!”

Do you believe in marriage?
“If your definition of marriage is a partnership, then yes!”
What are your plans for marriage?
Do you want to sponsor my wedding? Or you have found a wife for me… which one of them? What are the best and worst moments of your career?
“The only moment that matters to me is the one I’m currently experiencing. Looking into the past for best or worst moments robs you of the luxury and quality of the present moment.
Depending on what I do with this moment, it can either be my worst or best one yet. But then again, there’s nothing like best or worst moments; they’re just different pages from the Book of Life, the Book of Experience.”
