@Joan_Afc: “Sometimes I think Yul is under a spell. It’s gotta be some voodoo. The online foolery is too much.”
@AntiYesDaddy: “When will Nigerian women understand that love can end? Besides who knows what has really transpired in that home? She should just move on with her life yet she refuses to divorce. Abeg make I hear word.”
@stephenizuegbu: “Seeking for sympathy all over. You failed to protect your family and social media helped you end it. Edochie isn’t her maiden name, so why stick to it while seeking sympathy?”
