Olayode Juliana blows hot

Days after the Olympics opening ceremony caused an online stir, Olayode Juliana took to her Instagram page to bare her mind on the matter.

In her words:

“Another thing that breaks my heart is that there’s a child among the drag queens. Whose child was that?LEAVE THE CHILDREN ALONE!!! Don’t drag them into your perversiion!!! What is going on with the world? What is this darkness? This is insane!
"I’m not surprised that this is happening, we live in the last days, prophecy must be fulfilled. May we not see the wrath of God, may God have mercy on them, and have mercy on the world.”

Even Jesus said don’t give importance to Images in worship so dear your annoyance is misplaced. Drink water, hit the gym and let off some steam.”
