"Aunty Moyo, that was not her intention, but that statement came from a place … it wasn’t even once.” Do it with respect.” Do it with your full chest.” What happened to it is wrong, get out of it. Get out of it. Find something else to do! Cry out for help! Sell pure water if you have to.., I get the empathy, but this is social media… if someone's daughter is 16 and she sees that, won’t she start thinking street girl is a considerable thing to do when life hits?"

@beeceeugboh said:

"She said exactly what I would have said, which is the absolute truth! She spoke with wisdom, and people understood her well. We just like to twist things to make people look bad! Thanks for speaking up for her sis! We are here for only joy."

@kennybraidedwigs shared:

"Some people can’t even comprehend even if you explain till tomorrow. We who understand do well."

@viableinks_solution commented:

"There’s nothing not serious in what Madam Shaffy Bello had said, let’s put sentiment aside. Will you tell someone to do drugs to survive and stop, or will you advise a child to do Yahoo and stop? Legitimacy cannot be overemphasized. And you are aware of the society we are in and how hard it is for many to comprehend, cos we hear in part and many would thrive on that little. For me, it’s all shades of wrong, ma! You forget that just one trial may lead to the death of some people."
