Woman laments as Snake Given to Her By Native Doctor To Make Her Rich Starts Having Sex With Her

A woman who was given a snake by a native doctor to help her get rich is now lamenting after the snake began having sex with her rather than make her rich.

Aremu Is a Stupid Boy For Calling Our Father, Ade Love, Poor – Kunle Afolayan

Before his death, Adeyemi Afolayan, popularly known as Ade Love, was a famous filmmaker in Nigeria.
