She wrote,
LEAVE NOW ALIVE OR LEAVE AS A CORPSE
“Many have died pretending all is well whilst wishing, hoping and praying for a better tomorrow.
“I don’t want to “die” or go inexplicably “missing”.
“I sincerely and publicly apologize for living a lie these past years. True to random speculations, there has been trouble in my “perceived paradise”.
“For the 2nd time in 2years, I am here again on social media boldly declaring that I am done with my marriage. My long overdue/relentless stance on this is of course no news to Austin Faani, the doctors and my parents.
“If push comes to shove & suddenly i am incommunicado; my lawyers, the welfare department and the Nigerian police force have my testimonials in recorded video clips/statements set for public release on all social media apps and national newspapers.”
