    Maraji defends Annie Idibia amidst online backlash

    Popular content creator Maraji has come to the defense of actress Annie Idibia, who has faced criticism for her behavior on the reality show “Young, Famous, and African.”.

    Maraji argued that Annie did nothing wrong as everyone gossips about others at some point.

    She noted that the only difference between other Nigerians and Annie is that they know who to trust with their secrets.

    According to Maraji, Annie is a sweet person with a soft heart, who puts up a tough exterior to protect herself from heartbreak.

    She also stated that Annie loves friendships and confides in people too quickly, which often gets her into trouble.

    “If you watch me right now and tell me you do not gossip about people or you have never made a funny face about people, then you are a liar.

    “The only difference between Annie and us, is that we know our friends.

    “Annie loves friendship, she loves friendship so much that she doesn’t even know who friends are, because she bonded so quickly with the new girl over the fact that they are mothers, you can see how joyful she is to speak to the lady.

    “She just keeps confiding in people that want quick information. Annie is also very sweet, she’s a sweet person who thinks she’s a gangster, she thinks that if she comes off as gra gra, people will respect her, she’s trying to protect herself because she knows she’s a softie, she knows that her heart can be easily broken,” she said in a video.

    Maraji’s defense of Annie comes after the actress faced backlash from Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan and other critics, following a heated exchange on the reality show.

  • Indecent dressing: Solomon Buchi defends Maraji against internet trolls

    Indecent dressing: Solomon Buchi defends Maraji against internet trolls

    Media personality Solomon Buchi has recently supported Comedian Maraji on X following her criticism of women who dress indecently.

    Maraji had previously expressed her views on indecent dressing, claiming that modest dressing commands more respect and politeness from others.

    Solomon Buchi provided his viewpoint despite the criticism she received from certain ladies who called her a “pick-me” and that she didn’t encourage other women.

    He made the case that some outfit does not exalt God and stressed the significance of modesty in the Christian faith.

    He voiced concern over the misconception of decency held by certain Christian ladies.

    Buchi also pointed out that people’s fashion choices might be influenced by celebrities who advocate for less modest attire.

    He concluded by underlining the difficulty of teaching modesty and decency to modern women and asserting that maintaining one’s body is a crucial component of faith.

    In his words: “Maraji has been called unprintable names by her fellow women because she frowned upon indecent dressing. I’ve seen posts of women calling her a hater, a pick-me, etc.

    “Fight it, but dressing will never be relative.

    “There’s a way typical prostitutes dress. Women call certain outfits “Ashawo dress” because it gives slutty vibes. Even the Bible validates that harlots look a certain way: “And there a woman met him, with the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart.” Proverbs 7:10 NKJV.

    “What scares me is that some Christian women think they can wear whatever they wish to. If decency is just a social construct to control women, why not walk around stark naked, as clothes are even tools of oppression too?

    “Many of you follow celebrities who wear rubbish, and you let them influence you, a child of God, who should be regenerated.”
