In a post that had been trending across social media platforms, the blogger alleged that Nancy’s secret lover had been responsible for her extravagant lifestyle including a recent trip to Istanbul, Turkey.

“Meet the married olosho man behind aunty Nancy Istanbul trip, see make everywhere scatter make me sef run comot on top him app, una fit collect this page too, I no send anybody papa again, eh feee ku, I come in peace.”
In a terse response, Nancy reacted saying, “Instabul trip…. Hmmm. Interesting!! I’ve never been to Instabul before but who cares Abeg I no sleep this night oh! Give us gist Abeg”
However, the blogger, who described Nancy as a ‘beautiful liar’ in a follow-up post, posted a picture of the alleged secret lover, and challenged the OAP to deny knowing him.
“You wan deny your sponsor, Michael, Nancy look my face talk say you no sabi this man, BEAUTIFUL LIAR!!! Una sha don success in pursuing the man’s wife from the house, hand go touch una one by one,” the post read in part.
Reacting, Nancy, who confirmed knowing Michael, said his company had been sponsoring her show.
She said, “Ahn Ahn. Oba of life! Why I nor go come here? Nor be vawulence nation? You nor want make I follow gather? Deny Mr Michael Dion Goli? Abeg read inside these comments make you see where I write say I know am!

“Literally, mentally and physically exhausted and trying to make something out of your life only to check your notification and it’s flooded with comments calling you out of your name. I am talking about thousands of comments. Like I said, since we can’t sue a faceless account, we at least deserve concrete proof of the allegation laid.
“Dig it up and let us see, not just resort to calling names and trying to bully me into silence and out of fear and restricting my comments so no one can see, then screen munching same comment for clout.
