“Mercy Chinwo & hubby, avoid unnecessary show on social media. Don’t invite scrutiny on yourselves. Biko. Clarification: this type of show by a woman of the Bible will bring nothing good for her. One investigation into their doing might burst a lot and those hailing them won’t be able to help them out of it.”
