Reverend father advises netizens over 2Baba’s divorce
The priest said that 2Baba and his wife, Annie, know themselves better than anyone else and did not ask for public opinion.
He said:
“In life and in marriage, there are times when you will surely feel like shouting and screaming for all to hear. There are times you just wish to report everything to social media. But from experience, social media will increase the problem instead. People don’t really care.
“Even if they do, there is no how they will know the whole story between you both. In fact, there are those who are just waiting to use your story to catch cruise and get traffic. Some influencers who have never been in your shoes will paint you with colour even Michaelangelo never knew existed.”
“Four years ago, I wrote this, and it bears repeating now. Let us focus. They know themselves better than you do. They did not call your name and invite you to judge the matter. The best you can do is pray for them. And if you can’t, just sit and watch and scroll and pass.”
