    He wrote: “Dearest men. Stay away from Sheila. Stay away from legally married women, especially the ones from Edo state. Don’t get yourself into trouble because of just 5 minutes of pleasure. Pitty ur loved ones at least if you’re not pitying yourself. People shouldn’t always believe they are smart. People shouldn’t always believe they would always eat their cakes and still have it back. Move on what? FUCK SHIIT. Thanks”
