Itele Ijebu, “Enjoy your wealth it’s OK. What is not OK is that in a country where poverty and hardship are the hallmark of life, enjoying it quietly makes sense. The place of emotional intelligence is missing. A natively intelligent person would do better! Happy 60th birthday Baba Cuppy!”

Ukemi, “There are so many children in the orphanage home and in everywhere in nigeria who doesn’t have what to eat, but here is money being wasted in the name of enjoyment which doesn’t glorify God in any means.
The Oluwatobi’s, “Let them be please because if it were to be the white that flaunts stuffs like this,we will be praising them instead . Happy Birthday Sir”
Martin Nnodim, “I am happy for him and his family…but my question is this,why is it that country like American, china billionaires there get richer simultaneously as the country get richer , while in Nigeria or Africa In general, billionaires here get richer while the country get poorer ….I hope they are not tamping from the national cake….”
