"Very wrong of him to say, the statement shock me."
Jessjohns1010:
"He’s making it look like Nollywood is for saints. The only difference theirs was on national tv. Most of y’all do worse behind close door. Y’all be playing Jesus like y’all don’t sin. What happened to grace!? Everyone deserves grace after a mistake. If u have to judge someone make sure ur life is clean of sins."
