@whitney__yy: “Most of you are showing your illiteracy in this comment section too bad yall don’t understand emotions”.
@jane_orah: “He’s the father of her daughter and they once loved each other so it’s not bad abeg they once shared beautiful memories”.
@mayaati_1: “The African mentality!!! Divorcing someone does not mean they became enemies! And he was and still is the father of their girl!! He passed away, it’s been a year, she can’t miss him? She can’t miss her late ex-HUSBAND?”
@nomzy48: “Yes, they were divorced, it still doesn’t erase d fact that Dey were once married and he was a father to their child, who’s alive btw. Sometimes, let’s learn to focus on things pinching us as nation, like d additional bank charges on each transaction n cost of living. It’s her life, let her celebrate or mourn him as she wishes. Rest peacefully Mr. Jones. Ka3na is beautiful.”

Sincerely, Ms. Katrina Jones”.
