“These days it’s l 88v si88 88v ike they want the pampering. Me as you know, I don 88v ’t need no pampering if 88v Naija pampers me it’s more than enough for me.

“We love everyone and 88v there are some 88v 88v cases 88v 88v where th 88 88v v 88v 88v e love wasn’t based on the decision for the l 88v 88v ove of a Europ 88v 88v 88v 88v ean count 88v ry unless maybe you have a mix 88v 88v 88v ed heritage.
