"I love how his village people are just pushing him.. ride on sir."
fob_josh:
"Actually there's no offense, someone can look like another person, and this saying has never been a crime, except if theys more to it than what i just heard."
inbetweencontinents_:
"Y’all keep having opinions about everyone else except your own lives! Sad times! Freedom of speech and expression should not be abused if guaranteed please."
ddashnblushmakeovers:
"If your opinion defames someone and assasşíñátes someone’s character that they built over the years then it becomes a crime, freedom of speak also requires use of common sense which is obviously lacking here."
habout__:
"He only said his opinion about the child’s look. I don’t think there’s anything wrong in that. At least, a lot of people post themselves claiming to look like some celebrities."
geneviveonyenze:
"Truth be told, a child can look like another person. That does not suggest that the person making the statement is making an assumption. As long as he did not say the child was fathered by another, he has not committed a crime. He has just expressed his freedom of speech, which unfortunately is something that is not free in our country. Make una go face pressing matters abeg."
evergreenebony:
"“Looks like “ is fine I think the baby looks like Nathaniel Bassey too, but suggesting infidelity or Pushing for a DNA is not acceptable."
