Where are the so-called managers of Joyce Blessing? Why are the allowing Agradaa to socially bully their client? Is social media bulling not a crime in Ghana. Those so-called managers are not worth their sort!
14 years???????
I keep asking this question. What is the motive behind taking your nude pictures or sexual acts if not for another person to see them? Strangely such people are always not smart enough. They end up sharing or people get hold of the pictures and share them.
