@iamoloritola:
"The event was over the weekend. Is it possible she posts all videos same day??? Moreover, aside her parents, this is the next major person to be grateful for, for her journey. I see no reason why one 'wrong deed' will override this. If it was his wedding to the new wife she posted, I would have said you'll were right but it's her event, that they honoured and even donated to her future calling. Make all of una getat already biko! @therealoloritola"
