But you see this pikin, that child actually looks like Nathaniel Bassey. More than 200 million Nigerians can see it. No be me release the picture o, na who born pikin release the picture… I no dey turn blind eye. Then I come dey apologize for that.”

evergreenebony: ““Looks like “ is fine I think the baby looks like Nathaniel Bassey too, but suggesting infidelity or Pushing for a DNA is not acceptable.”

habout__: “He only said his opinion about the child’s look. I don’t think there’s anything wrong in that. At least, a lot of people post themselves claiming to look like some celebrities.”

contento_boss_king: “I love how his village people are just pushing him.. ride on sir.”

fob_josh: “Actually there’s no offense, someone can look like another person, and this saying has never been a crime, except if theys more to it than what i just heard.”

inbetweencontinents_: “Y’all keep having opinions about everyone else except your own lives! Sad times! Freedom of speech and expression should not be abused if guaranteed please.”

ddashnblushmakeovers: “If your opinion defames someone and assasşíñátes someone’s character that they built over the years then it becomes a crime, freedom of speak also requires use of common sense which is obviously lacking here.”
