If We Can Drag Men for Fun, We Can Praise Them Too. Wanneka Claps Back at the Critics


If We Can Drag Men for Fun, We Can Praise Them Too. Wanneka Claps Back at the Critics



In other news, Wanneka has a message for everyone who thinks she praises her husband too much. And it is a simple one.


The businesswoman and hair mogul received a concerned message from a fan who warned her against publicly praising her husband, Mustapha. The unsolicited advice came wrapped in concern, stop gushing so much. It might get into his head. It might make him think he is all that. It might ruin the relationship.

( yimu like Ayo Maff )


Wanneka's response was a masterclass in shutting down unsolicited opinions.


"If we can call out the bad ones, we should also praise the good ones," she replied , reminding everyone that constant criticism without appreciation is just bitterness disguised as concern. 



Wanneka has been known for publicly celebrating her husband. From calling him obsessed with her to describing his "sharp nose and sugar lips," the woman does not hold back. She has even joked about the DMs her husband receives from women begging to be his second wife.

She has spoken openly about getting a second chance at love after her first marriage ended. "When God gives you a second chance, make sure you live and enjoy every single moment," she said. She has described him as calm, loving, and obsessed with her, not just in private, but for the whole internet to see.

(dancing like Rema)


But here is what the blogs did not tell you.


Wanneka's approach to marriage is not about showing off. She has been dragged before, for posting about her husband "the way she posted her first one." Her response has been refreshingly honest: if you cannot praise good men, why should anyone believe you when you call out bad ones?



A source close to her revealed that her marriage has actually helped her heal. After a difficult first marriage and a public split, she found a partner who treats her well. Her children are happy. She is calm. She is glowing. And she refuses to dim her light just because some people feel uncomfortable watching a woman be happy.


Meanwhile, some social media users have also called her out for being a "lover girl" and posting too much. But she has stood her ground. If being happy with her husband is wrong, she does not want to be right.


The real tea is not about the posting or the praise. It is that Wanneka just told the internet that if you are going to drag men publicly, you must also be willing to applaud them publicly. In a world where negativity gets more clicks than positivity, that is the kind of balance we actually need.


Edgar doesn't lie.
