The video sparked mixed reactions. @softloveangel asked: "What do you stand to gain? Some of you will easily sell your souls to the devil for money." @Udoka_Nma said: "They still need to show her so you guys will know that Alex had a wife. Nigerians can be crazy sometimes with comments." @kanaior noted: "People don't understand how widowhood works... At the end, it may just be one of his friends that will keep showing up after all the burial paparazzi." @missy_ada2 added: "And they were actually protecting her from people like you! Yet... you just don't know when to stop." @buhilz56 commented: "What will it benefit you now? Good friends protecting her but foes like you bringing her out for cheap engagement. Nonsense."
