•Mercy Chinwo, Baby Charis and Nathaniel Bassey
A facebook troll Okoronkwo Ejike has apologised to Minister Mercy Chinwo and cleric Pastor Blessed over his insensitive and calumnious comment over the paternity of their son, Charis.
The saga ensued after Mercy Chinwo and her husband unveiled their son’s face for the first time, sparking reactions from netizens, reports The Nation.
Okoronkwo Ejike posted on his Facebook handle, claiming the baby looked exactly like gospel singer Nathaniel Bassey.
He added that the child belongs to Bassey and nobody can tell him otherwise.
Ejike further hinted at the possibility of a romantic affair between the gospel singers which could have led to the baby.
He wrote: “This is the true face of Mercy Chinwo’s child she was hiding after giving birth. But the truth is that this little baby looks exactly like Singer Nathaniel Bassey.
“Nothing anybody wan reason me oh, this child is Nathaniel Bassey’s baby, just maybe there was a secret away match that occurred, otherwise how can we make empirical sense of this.”
The post went viral attracting severe backlash from netizens.
This forced him to apologise
He wrote: “I hereby tender an unreserved apology to Mercy Chinwo, Nathaniel Bassey and Pastor Blessed for my take on the striking resemblance of Pastor Blessed’s baby.
“And to everyone who got hurt over my post, I’m deeply very sorry.
Love and light for Cosmic positive vibrations, Shalom.”
