In her words:

"Two years ago we separated as friends, because of too many 'them say' in Nollywood. I became lonely because I don’t make friends easily like you do …so I channeled all the energy into my craft...but I missed you.

"Sometimes I would watch the way you mingle so easily and wonder how you do it...but I realised it’s your nature. But thank God you realised you were deceived and came back to me.

"Some people are still trying to resume 'them say', but trust me, when you start with 'them say' again...we would discuss and laugh over you. Everyone has grown. Nobody has energy to listen to gossip anymore.

"Destiny, you have a beautiful soul, and you are one of the few people that understand me. I love you for who you are. I love your imperfections. I pray today that God will open its heavens and release more blessings for you and your household.
