My heart goes out to D’Banj & his family and any other family that’s ever gone through something like that. I can’t imagine having a harsher way to be reminded of how unfair life is .

prayers up for D’banj’s wife 🙏🏽. The way Naija peeps have become judge and jury on this issue without details is enough to push her over the edge. If you think u love that kid more than the parents u must be high! They will forever struggle with guilt, pls stop making it worse!
