@edwinjnr332: “@Dmatterarising @Toxyberry1 @OneJoblessBoy Her dad is not Yoruba.. Adetshina is not a Yoruba name.. you ppl are something else.. this babe is answering two Igbo names and u want to confuse me.”
@AdeJesuRe: “@se_fola @lawnreigh1 Some say she was married to an Itshekiri (Yoruba); others say “Adetshina” is her mothers name from Mozambique. Makes sense that a 23-year-old divorced an Itshekiri, & kept the Yoruba name, or that her Igbo father allowed her to use her mother’s Mozambique surname. Too many lies.”
@Temitayodara: “please tell chindinma to drop the Adetshina, she needs to show proof she’s Has anything yoruba.”
@ObaTrench: “@StHonorable @MissPearls She is Adeshina. She is Igbo & Yoruba.”
