Naomi_1: That’s why Naomi the prophetess left.
Anonym: How is he getting all these women to agree to this? Most of these ladies are from rich backgrounds, well educated and connected. What do women want?
Adewale Johnson: What are these women thinking! This simply means women are unpredictable! These are young ladies with enviable professional backgrounds, why are they subjecting themselves into this type of life! Does it mean they are frustrated with young men out there or they are being selfish. I can just get it!!! I know sooner than later as they join him, they will realise that they have to find their levels individually and acrimony would set in vi’s a visi problem. I wish them well sharing Baba joystick
