"It was a clickbait! I went to listen to the full interview and was surprised at the wisdom she unpacked. Self discovery is a very powerful tool that brings you into a world of control and influence."

@kolawoleolowo1 stated:

"I knew this lady wasn't a gospel artist a long time ago. She wants to be accepted on all sides. All the "Eledumare", "Oluwa", "Aseda" etc Instead of calling Jesus, I knew was a subterfuge to cover up who she was. A total fake. I wish her well though."
