One Scents, by Halar wrote “Oloshi Oloriburuku, oloriburuku niyin ma …. I had no idea that you’d be this insensitive. Someone created a script that trivializes an innocent girl’s situation. …. Even if you didn’t have the morality to say no. …. You don’t have the slightest legal knowledge. How do you create a film that tells the story of a person’s life without their consent and make use of your real names… Do you realize what you think you’re doing? I wonder if you’d be able to do the same thing if it were your daughter. ….. If you’re a responsible adult, the right option regardless of who’s the right person or incorrect in this instance is to stay away from any controversy. But no, you’re not shaming you were required to appear in it, so Aunty Remi had to put some sense into you . the party. “You guys make me feel disgusted… I’m gonna block you, Madame, It’s the best thing you can do”

One Mafuzah wrote “If the person who was shameless were a. Even if ikebe super were daft, they were saying “agba okin wa loja kori omo tun tun wo ” but since ti Agba Tiyin is ineffective, it’s difficult to discern what’s wrong with the script. Agbaya, Eranko ……..”

Na small boys dey”

The author Peyemi Vopel wrote “I am shocked that the niece of my daughter is daughter’s friend in NTIC and I’m going to remind her to not talk with your daughter. To agree to appear in a film that says it’s acceptable for a minor to be with an older man is what you’re teaching your daughter. I’ll tell my niece that she should beware of your daughter at any at all costs.”
