To everyone who has been making a joke of my voice , Y’all need to stop it , You can’t force me to tell my story when I’m not Ready to & Nobody on this earth will tell my story for me.
“Except me, so don’t listen any rubbish insensitive narrative anyone sells to you, this is how I chose to let people into my world of pain,( Real Housewives of Lagos) Even people who make other people happy every day, have so much going on with them you know nothing about,
“Trust me it’s been years of health struggles & did it privately, but I show out. I deliver to my clients with no excuses, even if it’s the worst day of my life,
“So it’s very pathetic When u jump on my page & make jest of something u know nothing of. It took me a whole 4 months to even talk again, So manage the sounds coming out of my mouth. Don’t forget The Real Housewives of Lagos was shot & done months ago, so you are only watching past tense now. Just support me with your prayers that all I ask,
“Stop jumping on my live video to teach me what to do or laugh at me. I’m actually not finding it funny any more , I’m still healing & it will take a while. Had to leave that negative environment. But you don’t expect me to hide myself away forever. That’s the only reason I’m not going to get into an argument with any keg-legged, long chin, frog eyes troll right now”, she wrote.
