The recent pregnancy reveal by former Big Brother Naija housemate Maria has elicited a range of reactions on social media. While some users expressed their congratulations, others resorted to hate and curses. One Twitter user, identified as Ameba Patrick, took it a step further by wishing harm upon Maria and her unborn child.
In a direct tweet aimed at Maria, Patrick criticized her actions and hurled heavy curses, insinuating that her happiness would be overshadowed by suffering. The tweet read as follows:
"That baby will never come out safe... even if it does, it will be cursed... you can't make someone feel hurt and be happy... either you will die in the delivery room or the baby will die #MariaChike."
Despite the hateful message, Maria exhibited an extraordinary level of grace and compassion in her response. She acknowledged that the sender must be going through their own pain and offered prayers for their healing. Furthermore, she confidently affirmed that nothing would harm her or her baby. Her reply stated:
"I don't know who hurt you, but I pray that God heals your disturbed soul. I pray that someday you can love yourself because I'm sure God loves you the most! But I put this to you. It is written: My baby and I will FOREVER be safe and blessed. I forgive you for your words because you know no better. NOTHING, and I repeat, NOTHING will happen to me 🥰🙏🏼"
Maria's response showcased her resilience and unwavering belief in the safety and well-being of herself and her baby. Despite the negativity she faced, she chose forgiveness and extended her prayers to the person who sent the hateful message.
