Joanna Edeme said:
"If we really want Nigeria to be better, someone like Blessing needs to be inside the prison. Such individuals who will do anything for money just to appear relevant in the face of the public are soulless. Blessing has a heart to do worse and I believe she has been doing worse and getting away with it. Also Daddy Freez should not be left out, that man is and enabler and try to appear right to the public."
