As public figures we meet all sorts of people and most just want trophies whether you are well known or not be very careful who you allow into your life don’t go giving your heart to everyone.

Sociopaths Will keep you entangled in their web of lies and you will be one of their many victims.'

'when you actually believe someone is true to you only to find out they are community husbands you are safer stepping aside.

Nobody should ever tag me in posts about Jared Ombongi who has previously been associated with me I disassociate myself from such links from today.'

'As politicians say “I would rather die” than be linked to a polygamist! Narcissism is real.

Stay woke. I speak out because no one will ever embarrass me again. #tooprecious #notcommon #knowyourworth #boraugali”

Weeks later Lilian apologized for calling her baby daddy a community husband stating she was going through a bad moment.
