@the_thicklady shared:
"She is right we need to abolish that stupid term “Husband house “ There are some terms we use as women that put us in bondage, how would you say you are in your husband’s house What is that even supposed to mean Are you a child with no agency ?"
@TheosophiaQueen wrote:
"She is so full of wisdom. I can see why I am so connected with her. Her views about life, relationships and religion are so on point. She said “ mi o si ni ile-oko but mo ti fe oko. O wa ni ile mi, mo wa ni ile e.” It’s just a way of saying that they are married as it should be."
@oluobamzy said:
"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."
